 The true gem of the album... is “I Wanna Be Sedated”, one of the band’s iconic songs, probably their last great misfit anthem.

 Although the longer duration of the songs, the cleaner production... scandalized some punk purists at the time, the rock essence of the Ramones was in fact not at all compromised.

Road To Ruin captures the Ramones’ transition into a slightly more polished sound without losing their raw punk essence. The addition of Marky Ramone brought heavier rhythms while preserving their rock'n'roll roots. Despite some controversy over the cleaner production and longer songs, the album remains iconic, especially for the timeless hit "I Wanna Be Sedated." This record reflects the band’s struggle for commercial recognition while maintaining artistic integrity. Discover why Road To Ruin remains a punk rock milestone—listen now and experience Ramones’ timeless energy!

 "At the moment of listening, however, one gets the impression of an album not well in focus, uncertain of the path to take, quite 'recycled'."

 "...the dramatic and intense ride of 'Straight Life' (which alone is worth the 3 stars) are there to remind us that class is not water."

Therapy?'s 1998 album Semi-Detached presents a mix of familiar sounds and new harsher elements, aiming for maturity but lacking clear focus. While some tracks disappoint due to awkward shifts, others like 'Straight Life' stand out, reflecting the band's class and provoking nostalgia for their earlier iconic works. Dive into Therapy?'s Semi-Detached and rediscover the mix of raw energy and memorable melodies today!

 The aggression does not abate: even though the pace changes more often, the sounds move away from blues and Steve Knight’s organ sounds more psychedelic than usual.

 I challenge you to find the original and turn up the volume. And to hell with the doubts.

Mountain's 1971 album 'Nantucket Sleighride' expands on their debut with longer, more complex tracks mixing hard rock, blues, and psychedelic elements.

 Despite the WB label on the back of the cover, the Hüskers have not softened at all and are still capable of hitting hard as ever.

 Taken on its own, it is a nearly perfect album of alternative pop with shadowy and nostalgic tones.

Candy Apple Grey marks Hüsker Dü's first major label release, blending their hardcore punk roots with more melodic and pop elements. The album balances corrosive energy with melancholic, nostalgic tones. Both Grant Hart and Bob Mould deliver strong songwriting across varied tracks.

 "Their instrumental technique is miraculous for a hardcore group..."

 "'Institutionalised' is a logorrheic, schizophrenic, and desperate rapcore that vomits all the frustration of disinherited kids of Los Angeles in the eighties."

Suicidal Tendencies' 1983 debut album is a landmark in American hardcore punk, blending thrash metal and rap influences into a powerful, original sound.

 "It’s a shame, really, that Mike, the macho, foul-mouthed survivor, is the first to meet an unfortunate end."

 "Do you want to spend an hour and a half of trash but are tired of Alvaro Vitali and know all the various 'Violent Shit' by heart? Good, 'Pasto Umano' is the one for you."

Pasto Umano is a gloriously trashy gore movie, heavily inspired by Hostel, featuring idiotic characters, laughable villains, and atrocious dubbing. The film is a slow-paced, low-budget horror that excels in its ridiculousness and gore, making it a fun watch for fans of cult and bad movies. Despite poor acting and senseless scenes, it offers exactly what trash horror lovers seek: mindless gore and dark humor. A perfect film for a silly, gory movie night. Ready for a wild ride of mindless gore and trashy fun? Watch Pasto Umano and embrace the chaos!

 Metal Circus... essentially paved the way for the masterpiece 'Zen Arcade'.
