 Rotersand vaguely resemble Depeche Mode with quite a bit of spice and a significantly less showy and self-centered singer, thankfully.

 After fifteen years of honorable career, a physiological decline could have been expected, but here we are witnessing a real vertical collapse.

 There’s no soul, no momentum, practically everything feels manneristic and already heard.

This review critiques 'Dancer And The Moon' as a disappointing and flat effort from Blackmore's Night. Despite previous strong albums, the duo shows signs of creative exhaustion. The album offers few highlights and recycles past styles without vitality. Fans are advised to revisit earlier, more inspiring releases. Overall, it's seen as a low point in their career. Explore Blackmore's Night's earlier works for their true magic and decide for yourself if 'Dancer And The Moon' lives up to their legacy.

 One of the most beautiful rock voices I have ever had the chance to listen to, melodic, powerful, versatile, and charismatic.

 The Getaway is a truly perfect, highly inspired album free of weak points, a milestone in its genre.

 Nena makes you see these songs from a different, personal angle; she doesn’t just execute a scholarly rendition.

 If the alternative, the so-called new that advances in the female realm would be the indigestible, pretentious, and air-filled broths of Adele and Florence + The Machine, then long live Nena and her covers!

Nena's double album 'Cover Me' showcases 31 diverse songs, blending Neue Deutsche Welle, electronic, rock, and pop with passionate reinterpretations. The album features strong vocal performances and a rich mix of covers, from iconic German acts to international legends. Despite its length, the collection feels cohesive, revealing Nena’s versatility and charisma. Highlights include transformative versions of songs by The Rolling Stones, Rammstein, and Joni Mitchell. Minor forgettable moments don’t overshadow the overall impressive work. Explore Nena's 'Cover Me' for a vibrant journey through diverse covers reimagined with passion and vocal brilliance.

 Bruce Dickinson runs and jumps with the energy of a twenty-year-old, the voice is practically unchanged from the glory days.

 The performance of Mastodon turns out to be as heavy as a boiling soup to be consumed on a mid-August day at the equator.

The review chronicles an engaging live experience at Sonisphere 2013 in Milan featuring iconic metal bands. Iron Maiden's energetic and classic performance shines as the festival highlight. Other acts like Ghost impressed with stage presence, while Mastodon's set felt heavy but lacking soul. Megadeth delivered a powerful show with classic hits. Nostalgia and family connections color the personal festival journey. Dive into the epic Sonisphere 2013 festival experience—read the full review and relive legendary metal performances now!

 "The album is an ambitious work, complex yet easy to assimilate and very direct; essentially, it consists of deformed pop songs, enriched with orchestrations, synth bombardments, industrial beats."

Led solely by Kurt Harland, the album offers complex, cinematic tracks that evoke a dystopian future.
