 Under The Covers is an anti-commercial, acidic, dark album, full of reverb, without hesitation.

 It is a very homogeneous and extremely artistic work, in line with the character of Lydia Lunch.

 James Chance is the equivalent of Jazz-Punk-Funk contamination in the late ’70s New York No Wave scene.

 The schizophrenic improbable union between Albert Ayler and James Brown played by a white musician, a blasphemy that has never existed anywhere else since.

James Chance's The Flesh Is Weak revisits the late 1970s New York No Wave scene, combining jazz, punk, and funk elements with artistic intensity. While it partly succeeds in capturing the era's raw energy, the sound differs from his earlier work. The album highlights Chance as a uniquely underrated artist with a distinct style. Dive into the wild fusion of jazz, punk, and funk—listen to James Chance’s The Flesh Is Weak and experience a unique No Wave legend.

 This record wants to taste of a lot of things, but in the end, it doesn’t taste of anything: It doesn’t have a real flavor.

 Made by him, I can’t stand this record!

The review finds 'Boarding House Reach' to be an overly sweet and stylistically confused album that lacks the impactful flavor of Jack White's previous work. Despite White's talent and clear ideas, the album fails to satisfy and feels snobbish. The electric guitar is less prominent than expected, and the genre mixing results in a diluted sound. Ultimately, the reviewer is disappointed, rating the album 2 out of 5. Discover the full take on Jack White's Boarding House Reach and decide if the experimental sound suits your taste.

 They are deliciously surreal when they ride the myth with the stumbling interpretation of GOD SAVE THE QUEEN, a piece so out of place it results in a bona fide DADA work.

 Call me KILLI I’ll be your BILLI, entry is free, drinks are too, and, as you know, those who don’t come are a Giovanardi.

Killi Billi delivers a unique punk experience using acoustic instruments and playful reinterpretation of classic punk anthems. Their debut vinyl single showcases a surreal, DADA-inspired take on 'God Save The Queen,' blending punk attitude with folk and country influences. The band’s joyful and self-produced approach shines through, making their music both authentic and refreshing. Listen to Killi Billi’s surreal acoustic punk take on a classic – grab the vinyl and experience punk like never before!

 Iggy is sick of thunderous amplifiers, harsh and hard guitars, contortions behind the microphone stand...

 His is the life of a survivor, the only one still possible for him; old age waiting for something that no longer returns.

Post Pop Depression marks a mature chapter for Iggy Pop, produced with Josh Homme. The album lacks the raw punk energy of his earlier work but offers a deep, orchestrated sound. It reflects on aging and transformation with subtle nods to his past. Considered possibly his last, it’s a heartfelt survivor’s album worthy of appreciation. Discover Iggy Pop’s introspective side—listen to Post Pop Depression today and experience a legend’s evolution.

 "L.A.M.F. stands with Never Mind The Bollocks by the Sex Pistols as the true punk manifesto."

 "The anthem of 'Born To Lose' is that of a generation of losers of which Thunders is a part."

L.A.M.F. by the Heartbreakers is an essential yet flawed punk rock album from 1977. Johnny Thunders’ guitar work and raw energy shine through despite poor production and mixed initial reception. The album captures the rebellious spirit bridging New York and London punk scenes. Though the band struggled, their influence remains significant. The reissued versions later restored much of the album's original power. Explore the roots of punk rock with the legendary Heartbreakers’ L.A.M.F.—listen now and experience the raw power of Johnny Thunders’ iconic guitar work!

 No one else has ever sung accompanied by Trane: the symbiosis between the two is perfect and reaches absolute peaks.

 This is a nocturnal album, to be listened to alone in the dark, feeling the emotional reaction alter the state of consciousness.

This review praises the 1963 collaboration between John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman as a rare and intimate jazz masterpiece. Hartman's rich baritone and Coltrane's expressive saxophone form a unique symbiosis across six romantic ballads. The album stands out for its emotional impact and timeless appeal, enhanced by a 2004 SACD remaster. It is recommended for solo, contemplative listening. Listen to the soulful magic of John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman—discover a jazz classic that touches the heart.

 "Nothing is true and everything is permitted become the absolute creed."
