the more I listen to them, the more they bore me... for heaven's sake, a seminal group with a unmistakable sound, nothing to say on the stylistic front, but... there's no way around it: Daydream Nation is the only album that gives me emotions... the others leave me lukewarm... Evol is no exception: you can be as technical and prepared as you want, but if an album doesn’t penetrate you... music is meant to give thrills, and the only thrills the SY give me are in Daydream Nation... however, Evol has the merit of being less "unpleasant" than the previous albums...

Anyway, this review definitely plays into the hands of the Doors, not their detractors: thanks, Francis! @tresspass: Ian Curtis. @nouquito: your review of Mellon Collie was more well-argued. Then, god forbid, always looking at how people dress, their poses, their shoes, their shirts. "I wear Prada but at least I don't bother anyone." <<< You’ve got the wrong website; by now, you should be on Channel 5!!! Put on a pair of suspenders and flush all those Brit-pop junkies you inject from morning to night down the toilet! Suka! :-)))

here, I think what I listened to was the Radio Edit! :-) nice zaion!

great read...I only remember a passage from a few years ago (don't ask me the title...it was quite famous back then anyway)

What a crazy review!!! Bluto, let me ask you something: are you that villain who wants to screw Olivia from Popeye, or are you that legendary big guy of Albanian descent (R.I.P.) who used to smash beer cans on his head during the Toga Party?

great Extro!!! I loooooove livin in the city!!! :-)))

Look, Sirbony, as I see it, talking about "metal" before the 70s is pretty much impossible... if anything, we can speak generally about "hard rock," bringing up various Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple, but also certain American bands like Grand Funk Railroad, Stooges, MC5, Blue Cheer (all people who weren't exactly making hard rock but were playing in a very violent way for the time)... then obviously there were all the various precursors of hard rock, basically all the bands from the 60s that played blues-rock or garage-rock in a rather decisive manner (Who, Sonics, Steppenwolf, some songs by the Kinks, certain Stones) or in a virtuous way (Yardbirds, Cream), but we are still light-years away from metal... for me, we can start talking about metal from the 70s, when seminal groups like Black Sabbath and Blue Oyster Cult came onto the scene, much harder and especially darker than the 60s groups... anyway, really, between the Beatles and metal, there’s an abyss (not in terms of value, obviously, but in terms of sound).

you know bjorky...the TRUE music is that made of verses, choruses, and solos...beware of transgressing this SACRED rule!!! that scoundrel Barrett dared to compose irregular, disconcerting and eccentric songs, just for the sake of mocking the unsuspecting listener...a damned snob: that's what Syd Barrett was!

no, actually, not anything, but only hard rock, Doors, and Pink Floyd (not The Piper though!!! that album is too weird! what were they smoking?? buahahahahah the early Floyd, what losers, there was still that junkie Barrett)

anything that doesn't go beyond that damned 1977, the year rock vanished into thin air.
