 The phrase that opens this little masterpiece of electronic music… manages to nicely summarize the intentions of Depeche Mode towards the listeners: to make people travel with closed eyes.

 Many bands are inspired by DM, stealing here and there, but no one has yet taken up their legacy… it’s a matter of soul and, in Martin Gore’s soul, there was quite a lot to bring out.

Violator by Depeche Mode is a seminal 1990 electronic album noted for its dark rock influences, innovative sound design, and profound emotional depth. Featuring standout tracks like "Personal Jesus" and "Enjoy The Silence," it showcases Martin Gore’s songwriting and Dave Gahan’s distinctive vocals. Although some elements feel dated compared to modern electronic music, the album's soul and energy remain compelling. Its influence on subsequent artists is undeniable, though its unique spirit is hard to replicate. Discover the timeless sounds of Violator—listen now and experience Depeche Mode’s pioneering electronic journey.

 Songs that start slow, with just some hand claps in time, a piano in the background, and then suddenly explode.

 This is already hell! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

 The debut album from the aeroplanes disappoints right from the first listen.

 Everything reminds too much of something else... it copies in a boring way.

Jet's debut album Get Born contains some catchy singles and well-produced tracks but overall feels predictable and derivative. Its songs, while pleasant, lack originality and fail to stand out from similar rock releases of the early 2000s. Despite a strong start, the album doesn't deliver anything new or exciting, resulting in a disappointing listening experience. Explore Jet's Get Born and decide if this overhyped rock debut sparks your interest or feels too familiar.

 Finally some cool rock!

 The Dado is a truly beautiful and complete album, which played inside my stereo for years and years.

 Silvestri’s lyrics confirmed him that year as the most promising new Italian singer-songwriter along with Samuele Bersani.

 There are none. Or rather, there are very few.

 True Skies comes across as a terrible copycat of Urban Hymns in an even more pop-infused form.

The reviewer expresses strong disappointment in The Shining's debut album 'True Skies,' highlighting its lack of originality and weak guitar work. Although the band captures visual attention and the vocalist Baxter shines with impressive range, the overall production fails to impress. The opening track 'Quicksilver' offers some hope, but the album largely resembles uninspired copies of previous Brit rock bands. Detailed track analysis is avoided to spare readers from repetitive content. Discover if The Shining's 'True Skies' lives up to the Brit rock legacy or falls short—read the full review!

 It was a moral duty to write something about this song, a symbol of a rock movement that was about to give birth to something truly energetic and unrepeatable.

 I clearly side with the latter [that Oasis was a good rock band that knew how to speak like no one else in the nineties about the everyday feelings of ordinary people].

This review appreciates Oasis' single 'Live Forever' as a hallmark of 1990s British rock. It highlights the songwriting skills of Noel Gallagher, the energetic production, and the relatable themes of everyday life in Manchester.

Despite initial reservations about reviewing singles, the author sees 'Live Forever' as a definitive anthem of its era. Listen to 'Live Forever' and explore how Oasis shaped 90s rock culture with their unforgettable anthems!

 "First of all it must be a product that introduces you even to those who have known nothing about you until now."

 "I’ll record Dead Passengers in a mix of bossa nova and jazz with the guitar strings just gently plucked..."
