Metallus

 The orchestra is always present but does not contribute to "weighing down" the sound, which often happens in similar operations.

 Ultimately, "Gattini" was the best way to celebrate their 20 years. Ingenious.

Gattini marks the 20th anniversary of Elio E Le Storie Tese's debut with a unique orchestral reinterpretation of their classic hits. The album blends the band's rock sound with a 40-piece orchestra, enhancing the melodies without overwhelming them. Featuring guest artists and a new track, it appeals to longtime fans and newcomers alike. Accompanied by a concert and making-of DVD, Gattini is a fitting and ingenious tribute to the band’s enduring creativity. Listen to Gattini and experience Elio E Le Storie Tese's classics reinterpreted with orchestral brilliance!

 ‘Creatura Nuda’ is a very intimate, personal work...a work of considerably higher quality.

 With her death, we lost a person who perhaps, with today’s music world, had very little to do.

Valentina Giovagnini’s 'Creatura Nuda' stands out as a deeply intimate, Celtic-inspired album that broke away from Italy's pop trends. The review highlights her unique voice and the album’s rich, varied tracks, including the notable use of bagpipes and electronic elements. Despite early success at Sanremo 2002, Giovagnini struggled with the music industry, eventually retreating from the spotlight before her tragic death in 2009. Her work remains a cherished hidden gem, admired for its quality and emotional depth. Explore Valentina Giovagnini’s 'Creatura Nuda' and uncover one of Italy’s most unique musical voices.

 The album doesn’t add much to Subsonica’s production, except for the only unreleased track, 'Il Vento,' which seems to be having some success.

 A Greatest Hits that flows quickly, offering us all aspects of the group.

Subsonica celebrates 10 years with 'Nel Vuoto Per Mano,' their first official Greatest Hits album. The release showcases their unique blend of electronic and rock sounds, highlighted by the popular unreleased track 'Il Vento.'

 They call themselves "Player 1" and "Player 2." Retrogaming and video games, especially from the 80s, are practically a constant in their music.

 Their sound is truly unique; you’ll either love it instantly or hate it right away, but for those who grew up with games and consoles, it will be a pleasant trip down memory lane.

 Prozac+ are one of the most underrated bands in the Italian scene.

 The album tells, both with the booklet and the disc, the comprehensive story of Prozac+.

This review highlights Prozac+ as one of Italy's most underrated punk-pop bands, often overshadowed by their hit single 'Acido'. The Best Platinum Collection serves as a comprehensive overview of their musical journey, showcasing both energetic and slower tracks with meaningful lyrics. The compilation helps new listeners appreciate the depth and evolution of the band. Though the group has been on hiatus since 2005, hopes for their return remain. Explore Prozac+'s Best Platinum Collection to rediscover one of Italy's true punk-pop gems today!

 Such high levels of trash have rarely been reached.

 His voice is completely inadequate for the project, and the Italian pronunciation... has a comic effect that is sure to brighten your darkest days.

The review harshly critiques 'Concerto In True Minor' by True Symphonic Rockestra, judging its metal-classical fusion as unsuccessful. While the two tenors perform adequately, James Labrie's vocal contribution is seen as inadequate. The arrangements are described as trivial and messy, failing to meet expectations. Overall, the album is considered a failed experiment, recommended only as a curiosity or for laughs. Discover why 'Concerto In True Minor' failed by True Symphonic Rockestra—listen and judge for yourself!

 It’s a good album that certainly stands out in the midst of all these similar summer compilations for its originality.

 Numero 6’s ska-style cover of 'Too Much Of Heaven' is certainly the most successful cover in my opinion.

Post Remixes Vol.1 is a refreshing compilation that features Italian rock bands covering iconic 90s dance tracks with their own interpretations. While not all covers fully succeed, the album stands out for its originality and diverse styles. Highlights include Numero 6’s ska-style 'Too Much Of Heaven' and Ex-Otago’s new wave take on 'The Rhythm of The Night.' Recommended for those seeking something different from typical summer compilations. Discover the unique fusion of 90s dance hits and rock styles—listen to Post Remixes Vol.1 now for a fresh take on classic tunes!

 Certainly among the best reunions ever seen.

 It’s nice to see a return of something a bit different from the usual stereotypes of Italian bands.

The MTV Storytellers album captures Bluvertigo’s return with a mix of their best tracks and new arrangements, accompanied by engaging storytelling.

 The voice is somewhat there, I admit, but it goes no further, it is just a voice without anything.

 You play the CD, being absolutely unbiased, forgetting all the anger for the duration of the CD. But the anger keeps rising.

This review contrasts the hard work of independent musicians with the rapid manufactured success of Marco Carta, criticizing his debut album for rushed production, banal lyrics, and overreliance on covers. While the singer’s voice is acknowledged, the album is considered a product mainly designed for fan consumption rather than genuine artistry. The reviewer expresses frustration with the music industry's favoring of image and instant fame over musical talent and effort. Discover the reality behind Marco Carta’s debut—listen and decide if it’s passion or product!

 The various tracks shine magnificently live, and those who consistently follow Bellamy and company know that they are one of those bands that gives everything in a live setting.

 Sometimes it feels like they rushed to release this CD... they could have waited a bit longer, and perhaps better refined the sound quality and cleaned it up.

Muse's live album Haarp captures the band's intense energy and passion during their Wembley Stadium concerts. Despite an excellent tracklist and strong performances, the album suffers from poor sound quality and overpowering audience noise. The recording feels rushed, diminishing the overall experience. Recommended mainly for dedicated Muse fans. Discover Muse's intense live energy on Haarp, but listen closely to hear if the sound quality lives up to the hype!
