Given that Marco Carta, I mean, Marco Carta has triumphed at the Sanremo Festival, I can say: 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000, 100,000, 1,000,000, 10,000,000, 100,000,000, 1,000,000,000 times POOH!!!

Every time I hear "Ti sento," chills run from my ankles to the tips of my hair. Antonella remains my favorite vocalist for ages and ages, amen. Forget Giorgia, Elisa, and the like (I won’t mention La Pausini because just saying her name triggers an allergic itch). Here, we sing and sing as God commands. It’s a shame that after leaving Matia Bazar, she didn’t find the space and glory she deserved (maybe she didn’t care much about it..). Still, every time I hear something performed by her, I stop, stupefied, to listen in religious silence.. It’s a pity that their artistic collaboration was interrupted; they still had so much more to say, together.. P.S.: I didn't follow the puppet festival; how did the Afterauar go?

Damn, you've written a serious review.. The question that immediately arises for me is: why do they still call themselves Sepultura?

Well, I must say, at their debut I found them truly unbearable, but over time and with the subsequent works, I've reassessed them quite a bit; however, I always tread carefully.

..already done in 1986 if I’m not mistaken), and neither "And Justice For All" (that’s from '88) is played with the usual mastery (which means always the same since there’s hardly any evolution to be seen), and on top of that, it has gone very well (thank goodness, now they can finally get their acts together, with just 100 million records sold, earnings from concerts, merchandising, and all the rest I was afraid they’d starve, now I can sleep more peacefully). In short, if you decide to buy it, it will stay on your stereo for a long time!! (I will never give my money to an old band that has nothing left to say, that keeps recycling itself, living in the memory of the past and what it once was; the singles I’ve heard are enough for me to say that an old group playing fake Thrash is really one of the most depressing things you could ever see).
9. Nonetheless, the review is stunning, well done! When’s the next one?

Anyway dear Marco, be patient, but I want to go track by track:
1. First of all, let me introduce myself, I am MarcoSanitarium (we already knew that, unless your name is really like that on your birth certificate... Anyway, nice to meet you, I’m Cornell and that’s what I’m called on my birth certificate.), and as you can tell from this first review of mine, I am a fan of Metallica (really?)... (I also listen to Black Sabbath, Manowar, Morbid Angel, Slayer (at least put in a couple of dots, otherwise it seems like your listening ends there..)
2. What I’m about to review is their latest album "Death Magnetics" (why Magnetics?)
3. Metallica is an American thrash metal band (Really? I thought they were a super popular ballroom dance group at local fairs), formed in 1981. They have sold over 100 million records (so it would be best to say enough, let’s give space to the young ones) and are, if not the inventors, one of the most important bands in metal (the inventors of metal? Metallica? Who are BLACK SABBATH then? And you even say you listen to them..). But let’s skip the biographical notes and move on to the album! (oh, thank goodness, come on..)
4. First of all, the cover is very beautiful in pure thrash style, a genre they first invented and then brought all over the world... but let’s leave the talks about covers to the posers, it’s the album that interests us XD. (Beautiful, really, speechless.. Let’s leave the discussions to the posers..)
5. James is always number one with his powerful and masculine voice (what a man, I get POLLUTION IN MY PANTS every time he opens his mouth.), Lars is very good (very good? If you listen well, you’ll realize it’s time for him to stop with the fills, maybe he could get away with it at 18, but now he misses beats embarrassingly, the guitars are always ahead.), Kirk, plus the new addition Robert Trujillo (who fits in like an electric eel in my underwear) are no less, and their way of playing is, coincidentally as always... MAGNETIC!! (What a fantastic comparison! Did it come to you in a dream while you were thinking about what to write? Anyway, I never hear Trujillo’s bass, what the hell did they hire a bassist for?)
6. But let’s get to the album, it starts with This Was Just Your Life, and The End Of The Line, good tracks (good tracks?) supported by beautiful solos (beautiful solos?) by Kirk Hammet (Doesn’t Hammett spell with two t’s? Maybe I’m wrong..)! Broken Beat And Scarred is very technical, and Metallica reminds us that they are not second to anyone on the scene, the same goes for All Nightmare Long, a very nasty song (scary.. a very technical song? Come on Metallica, at least on a guitar level this is the first thing you should expect, we’re not talking about Oasis..)
7. The Day That Never Comes (Unlistenable, a mishmash of déjà-vu trying to return to Master of Puppets, but here we are in 2009, and a solo that winks, nose, and ears all together to Highway Star) and Cyanide are nice, but a little too light for those who are used to the good things since the days of "Master Of Puppets" (you’ve been stuck in 1986? 23 years have passed damn!). Unforgiven III is a very sweet and emotional ballad (Yes, but you know, when you’ve already made a song like Unforgiven that you did well, I wouldn’t drag the dead horse tied to the wagon for too long, I’d just bury it.. Movies are already boring with sequels, except for Saw, but even IV gets annoying..). The Judas Kiss and Suicide And Redemption show us the great technique achieved by those who have years and years of supremacy in the scene behind them. Finally, My Apocalypse is quite enjoyable, but it’s a track more suitable for headbangin (headbanging, or am I wrong?) than for simple listening!! (Exactly, every time I hear it, I get an uncontrollable urge to throw myself out the window with the stereo!)
8. In conclusion, nice album, the criticisms from the most hardened anti (emo, street types, etc.) (what genre do these street types belong to? Wha

I stumbled upon them by chance while playing Need for Speed Underground, when “Nobody” kicked in and nothing could stop me! Great Skindred, the singer is out of his mind. The album is nice, compliments on the choice. An interesting proposal for the fusion of various genres, which I would say is very successful. Good review.
