Nine Inch Nails The Downward Spiral

Yes, but it's been wrong from the very beginning. Criticism has ruined art instead of helping it. Being an artist by profession is already a notoriously infame job in itself, always caught in the eternal daily grind of unbearable life, inextricably linked to the petty bourgeois fatality of the miserable. What perverse pathology forces the artist to surrender to the infamy of aesthetic conformity?? But if this "artistic" result is so vilely subordinate to the success decreed by the perspective of others and critical appreciation, the phantom aristocracy of symbolic labor is degraded to the most contemptible job, if not outright shameful post-work frivolous indulgence.

Meredith Monk Songs From The Hill

Those who have a clear understanding of Gilles Deleuze's lessons (never too often recalled) on the signifier and the fact that there are only signifiers and never meanings of things—those who have studied the work of this great philosopher or have occasionally followed his lectures on TV (in the off-hours, he often aired some lectures he gave at French universities in the 70s, and they were truly incredible)—understand what Sanjuro means when he talks about polisignificati (it would be better to say signifiers). They know that the signifier is just a stone in the mouth of the meaning. Then, those who continue to pretend that these concepts have never been discussed by great philosophers, well, the only thing left is to move on and not to continue the dialogue with certain subjects.

It's an album full of great tracks, screw the reviewer, an album that includes, i don't sleep i dream, what's the frequency, crush with eyeliner, bang and blame, circus envy, let me in can only be rated a 4.

Pearl Jam Live in Bologna, 14 settembre 2006

Voto:

I agree with Tabba, maximum respect for Pearl Jam obviously, but just as people mock U2 today, or R.E.M., all boiled groups, it's necessary to be consistent in saying that the Pearls aren't doing well either, and I'm saying this as someone who even likes Yield.

Tool 10.000 Days

Voto:

aenima is the best album they've made, right after lateralus, and then the first undertow. 10,000 Days is the least appealing they've done, although it's not a bad album in itself; it's just a bit repetitive. When you overuse the formula, the results are these.

Pearl Jam Live in Bologna, 14 settembre 2006

A Pearl Jam concert in 2006 is inevitably an anachronistic gathering of rock fans who believe in the saving mission of rock and roll, in a society that has killed every diversity and is heading toward packing every element deemed out of place. A Pearl Jam concert pathetically resembles a no-global meeting, a demagogic song from a liga-jova-pelù. They were great, rock is legend, so they will be forever, but in that forever, I don’t include the present, today, no. To do so would be to be pathetic dreamers ourselves. Today, Pearl Jam, just like U2 or other old, fossilized dinosaurs, is a buried band. I even feel sorry for them today, I who saw them in 2000 in Verona when they were still, let’s say, in shape.

Neil Young Mirror Ball

12 sep 06

Voto:

Yes, for me it's also Neil's last one that still has a certain virility (excluding the soundtrack of Dead Man, of course). After that introspective masterpiece Sleeps with Angels, as has often happened in his career, he decided to turn up the gain on the amps. The initial one-two (Song X and Act of Love) is worth the price of the CD. Donjunio, at this point, we're waiting for a biography of the loner in bookstores.

Neil Young Ragged Glory

10 sep 06

Voto:

Well, Don, certainly in terms of lyrics, Ragged Glory isn’t the best; I’m the first to admit it—banal lyrics, or perhaps just disinterested. We must be honest, the sound of this record is what matters; that’s what he wanted to achieve with this album. I agree with a 5 and praise for Weld, especially if you’ve seen the DVD of that series of historic concerts. His epileptic movements (on "Love and Only Love," believe me, I came close to transfiguration) are enough to decree his legend. So let’s say 4.70 for Ragged, a full 5 for Weld, for Sleeps with Angels and for Freedom; I’m only talking about the records of the renaissance, of course.

It seems that the only Young bard on the site is you; I consider myself too much a follower of the epic dimension to be a true detached luminary.

this is a 5-star record, it’s the grungy neil young, try listening to the EP released the year before called eldorado E.P, there are 2 tracks that I believe are the most violent ever written by young, heavy love and cocaine eyes, I would have fit them perfectly into this album instead of mother earth which I don’t really like, I would have ended this record in a devastating way with a blast of distortions and maniacal screams that would make even the grunge bands of the time pale...
