a record of dazzling beauty, inversely proportional to their notoriety

@holdsworth: the Velvet Underground of the first two albums are THE PSYCHEDELIC in the highest sense of the term, not the West Coast psychedelia with the extended jams of musicians under the influence of acid, but that feverish and experimental sound that was the progenitor of what would later become noise rock. Closing parenthesis, Rush is at the antipodes of psychedelia, and this excellent album is no exception, one of their best episodes.

one of the animated movies I enjoyed the most as a child, the part with the penguin Pablo is wonderful:

Dio Holy Diver

One of the most important and representative voices of heavy metal... this "Holy Diver," "Rising" with Rainbow, and "Heaven and Hell" with Sabbath are his three highest peaks. Not to be forgotten.

they repeat the classic and stereotypical formula of the so-called post-rock, which in reality is not post-rock, the usual repetitive guitars with fast picking like on a mandolin heard in a thousand other similar records

simply a classic, one of the main reasons why 90s rock has nothing to envy to that of other decades

pinkholler, I compliment you on your musical tastes, truly refined judging by the artists you review... after For Carnation (one of my favorite bands), this "April" is one of the works I appreciate most among recent releases. In this album, I hear a lot of Neil Young, especially in "The Light" and "Tonight the Sky"; the vocals are incredibly similar to Beck's in "Sea Change" (both Californian). I find "Moorestown" particularly stunning with its enchanting lyrics. It might tend to stretch the tracks a bit too much, but it's a great record.

I can't wrap my head around how, until 3-4 years ago, I could listen to such empty and sterile music and then rate it so highly... this is not progressive, it's its caricature, a jumble of useless virtuosities for their own sake, zero expressiveness.

The Beatles Please Please Me

The audio quality of this record is miraculous considering it was recorded on a 2-track. The songs are little tunes, but for the time, it's a great album. I don't agree with the notion that the Beatles lacked experience; by the time of the Please Please Me recordings, they had already performed 927 concerts.
