Her voice becomes a magnet: I didn’t know I had iron with me, but evidently, some must have fallen into the snow from an absent-minded pedestrian. "The Queen and The Soldier" manages to move confidently and familiarly between my ears as if it were at home.

Gene's story is objectively insignificant, meaning that there's no plot, surprise ending, goal, much less a moral. The author describes an animalistic life made of sexual violence, racism, stomach gunshots, and rotten love as if he were trying to explain the function of an internal combustion engine to a boy on his first day at the workshop.

I do not doubt that for those who appreciate the genre it may assume the connotations of excellent work, but for my ears, it is by far the worst CD within the walls of my home. A pop not only harmless but also quite sneaky, with that shrill voice that might initially please. Not for me.

Precious suits her indeed. Because everything she touches turns into green gold at the box office every time and into golden statuettes in March. The wounds that "Precious" opens, with these rusty and dirty slashes, leave a mark.

If it were wood, it would be centuries-old olive. And all those knots that make it practically immune to time are nothing but Steinbeck’s dry and terse style. The ultimate goal of a people is somewhat more noble and higher and is called freedom.

It’s a dirty sound, pleasantly rusty and melodic, that creeps into your ears and doesn’t leave easily. Rage really knew how to break the spine of a song and pick up the thread before the end credits.
