 If there was a bit of silence, if everyone made a bit of silence, perhaps we could understand something.

 A really long-winded, incongruous story in many parts and frankly boring and filled with rhetoric.

The review critiques Federico Fellini's 1990 film La Voce Della Luna as one of his weakest works, describing it as chaotic, tedious, and structurally dissolved. While it features imaginative and poetic moments, the film suffers from poor storytelling, unnecessary scenes, script holes, and awkward improvisation. The reviewer suggests the original novel by Ermanno Cavazzoni offers a far better experience. Despite some visual beauty and memorable scenes, the film fails to live up to Fellini's monumental legacy. Explore Fellini's final film and decide if its visionary moments outweigh the chaotic storytelling.

 An Absolute Classic of hard cinema, with a more incredible Linda Lovelace than ever.

 This film made and produced by a handful of indomitable slacker and freak friends... managed to rake in a good $1,300,000 in just one week of programming.

Deep Throat (1972), directed by Gerard Damiano, is a seminal pornographic film that helped unlock sexual liberation in America. Despite its explicit content, it is valued for its cultural significance, ironic humor, and nostalgic depiction of the 1970s era. Linda Lovelace's portrayal and the film's remarkable commercial success established its enduring legacy. The review also highlights Lovelace's later denunciation and recommends the documentary Inside Deep Throat for further insight. Discover the groundbreaking impact of Deep Throat—watch the film and the acclaimed documentary Inside Deep Throat now!

 I cringe in disgust at these damnably sad, insipid buffoons of the worst kind who pat each other on the back.

 I will NEVER AGAIN watch any film of this kind, much less these monstrous crap that plague us every end of the year.

This review harshly condemns Neri Parenti's Natale a New York as a poor-quality, clichéd holiday comedy typical of the Cine-Panettoni genre. The reviewer expresses disgust at the recurring stereotypes, tired scripts, and the film's cultural dumbing down. Notable performances are dismissed, and the author vows never to watch similar films again. The review ends with a call to seek better art and entertainment alternatives. Discover why Natale a New York is widely criticized—read the full review and decide if you dare watch it!

 A demo is a demo, damn it. Going to rummage through an artist’s trash for scraps of silly songs that the original artist had rejected to draw notoriety and attention is never a good sign.

 Such an operation will remain only a sign of VERY LITTLE respect for Rino, who must have turned in his grave seeing his private and completely rough moment splattered to 30 million Italians without his knowledge!

The review critiques Paolo Rossi's release of a previously unreleased demo by Rino Gaetano as a marketing stunt lacking artistic value. The author questions the respect shown towards Gaetano's legacy and sees the operation as primarily commercial, driven by media buzz and SanRemo Festival visibility. The demo is described as banal and forgotten for a reason, and its release is seen as a disrespectful exploitation of the late artist’s work. The review highlights a general skepticism toward music industry practices that prioritize publicity over art. Discover the controversy behind Paolo Rossi's tribute and explore the debate on music integrity and legacy!

 A work neither meat nor fish, in short, that annoys both sides.

 This "Festival of the Horrible for its own sake" ends with the historic Can’t Take My Eyes Off You mutilated and distorted into a shapeless, senseless hybrid.

This review harshly criticizes Dolapdere Big Gang's Local Strangers album for its awkward fusion of traditional Turkish instruments with iconic Western pop hits. The covers are described as unlistenable and poorly executed, with unsuitable vocals and a lack of cohesive artistic vision. The reviewer sees the album as a failed attempt at cultural integration that neither honors the originals nor the Turkish sound. Ultimately, it is viewed as a frustrating and misguided project emblematic of problematic cultural globalization. Read the full review and listen to Local Strangers to judge this unique fusion attempt yourself!

 The set design is truly recreated to perfection, and even the individual movements of the 5 members seem to be the same as the originals.

 These guys played superbly and technically perfectly, not only reproducing the same arrangements of the original tracks but recreating the same 'warmth' and enthusiasm of the deceased Original Genesis.

The Musical Box delivers an impressive and authentic tribute to early 70s Genesis, perfectly recreating the music, performances, and atmosphere. Despite minor issues like late start and seating, the concert transports attendees back in time with flawless musicianship and nostalgic set design. Fans of vintage progressive rock will especially appreciate the passion and precision. The review highlights the band's ability to capture the spirit of the original Genesis lineup with enthusiasm and technical skill. Dive into a time machine and experience The Musical Box’s flawless tribute to classic Genesis – listen, watch, and relive the 70s magic!

 "Usual riffs, usual screechy voice in a riot of screams and applause probably inserted artfully in the remix."

 "MADONNA IS MADONNA!! Even PRODI is PRODI but when he screws up you have to have the courage to admit it, right?"

This review delivers a sarcastic and critical perspective on Madonna's The Confession Tour live album. It suggests the tracks are repetitive and lack originality, despite the album's commercial success and awards. The review is interwoven with a humorous personal anecdote, reinforcing dissatisfaction with the music and experience. It implies that the album is more of the same familiar dance-pop rather than something exceptional. Discover if Madonna's The Confession Tour lives up to the hype—read the full review and decide for yourself!

 An Artist like Lou, when realizing that 'certain things cannot be surpassed,' should have the strength to STOP and not repeat himself.

 The voice is always a panacea, deep, sensual like a wounded animal that communicates only with its timbre veiled by hoarseness.

The review praises Lou Reed's legacy and vocal delivery but critiques the album 'Ecstasy' for its repetitive nature and lack of fresh energy. While some tracks like 'Paranoia Key of E' and 'Like a Possum' stand out lyrically and emotionally, the overall work feels like a rehash of familiar rock themes. The album is professional but not groundbreaking, reflecting a seasoned artist nearing the end of his creative evolution. Explore Lou Reed's Ecstasy for its intense lyrics and timeless voice—discover an album that bridges past and present rock.

 If it were a flower, it would be a graft of a Lion’s Heart onto a cactus (if that were possible).

 If it were a great record it would instead have sold millions of copies, a place in the History of Rock, a privileged position in my discotheque, something worth remembering it for…

The review uses vivid metaphors to describe Beck's album The Information, highlighting its eclectic and unconventional nature. Despite these creative comparisons, the album is seen as lacking a definitive impact or memorable success. It neither achieves massive sales nor secures an iconic place in rock history, leaving it somewhat forgettable in the critic's view. Dive into Beck's The Information and decide if its eclectic charm speaks to your music taste!
