Already by listening to the first track of the album -Alphabetland- a broad smile lit up my face after exactly 5 seconds, and that’s not so common these improbable days. When I look at the misery of so much music today, I feel like saying this is a colossal album.

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.

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.

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.

"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."
