Zarathustra

Well, the review doesn't deserve to be commented on, even though the debut was more than promising. For me, this album deserves the highest praise, just like Images And Words, Awake, and Scenes From A Memory, and I would honestly include Six Degrees as well, especially for the second CD. Indeed, those who point out that this is a really heavy album are right, and perhaps they relaxed compositionally compared to the previous records; however, I really like it precisely for its power. As for whether they did it to win back the metal fans lost with Six Degrees or for the Japanese market (which honestly seems rather absurd to me on their part, given that they always do great over there, so why make an album deliberately like this, I don't know...), honestly, I don't care: in my opinion, the only interesting thing when evaluating an album is whether you like it or not, not why the musicians made it. Also, because it seems impossible to command inspiration like a little airplane. In short, it's a different album from the other Theater records, but equally beautiful. I agree with those who criticize Rudess; in this album, he really did very little, and I don't know how much the metal side of the band involves him...

You've intrigued me a lot, but I fear there's nothing bluesy about this album; I don't know why, let's just say it's a feeling... Anyway, welcome!

Rightly, as a good metalhead, you listen to Lene Marlin: it makes perfect sense, doesn’t it? Metal isn’t exactly synonymous with Lene Marlin’s music: metal is what the Iron Maiden play, then there are the various mutations. I’m telling you this because I have this terrible doubt that you don’t quite know what metal is, and I want to spare you from making a fool of yourself. With affection.

Of course there are mistakes, as someone has already pointed out.

Yes, the best album of their discography, by far more powerful and incisive than Tommy, which in more than one instance suffers from prolixity in my opinion... Apart from the sacred tracks, I would highlight Getting in Tune: the opening is simply spine-tingling, the lyrics are brilliant like few: "I'm singing this note 'cause it fits in well with the chords I'm playing, I can't pretend there's any meaning here or in the things I'm saying." Simply extraordinary in terms of content and musicality. Indeed, the review is a bit dull, but good.

It's actually recorded really poorly, which is a real shame because it doesn't allow you to fully appreciate the beauty of the music. For this reason, it doesn't deserve the highest rating, even though the concert, in terms of tracklist and performance from the band, is absolutely excellent. Anderson seemed a bit challenged in "And You And I"... Beautiful review.

Let's reevaluate Ringo Starr!!!

Beautiful dedication, really. And a great review, but the album has a very raw sound (rightly so) and then there's no Ringo Starr, so it’s not the Beatles, because the Beatles wouldn’t have been what they were without Ringo Starr on drums. I want to make a proposal: let’s reevaluate Starr, underestimated and unfairly disdained by critics and much of the fan base. Without his wonderful drumming, a masterpiece like In My Life wouldn’t have been a masterpiece.

Legendary album. Accurate review.

You are absolutely right, an underrated record, it's only rock'n roll but we like it!!!!
