Rivo

 A wound to the heart, an intimate, invisible pain, to be overcome with that inner strength that resides in the core of every living being.

 Overall, the album does not convince and for long stretches, it bores.

Skin's solo album 'Fleshwounds' reveals a more vulnerable and slower musical style compared to her work with Skunk Anansie. While tracks like 'Trashed' and 'Lost' stand out, much of the album feels dragged and less convincing vocally. Recorded away from the UK, this intimate project shows emotional depth but fails to fully captivate throughout. Listen to Skin's solo journey in 'Fleshwounds' and discover the intimate side of this powerful vocalist.

 Turin Brakes’ warm voice is modulated like an instrument—really essential for an acoustic duo.

 After the twentieth 'AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHH' from Cornell, I find myself sinking into a dreadful stupor.

This review covers several live performances at the Flippaut Festival Bologna 2003. Turin Brakes delivered a moving acoustic set, while Queens of the Stone Age impressed with a strong rock performance. Audioslave showed technical skill but lacked fresh ideas. The White Stripes and Dandy Warhols received mixed to negative reactions. Overall, the festival's organization and venue earned positive notes. Discover the highs and lows of Flippaut Festival Bologna 2003 – dive into live music reviews and relive the performances now!

 Subsonica ARE THE BEST ITALIAN BAND AROUND!!

 Truly captivating, without realizing it, you find yourself dancing... Superlative!

This review covers Subsonica's 2003 live concert at Palasport Busto Arsizio, highlighting the band's status as Italy's best and their strong setlist from three albums. While the arena's poor acoustics and an older audience were noted, the performance's energy, song pairs, and impressive visuals created a captivating experience. The inclusion of guest Krisma added to the '80s dance vibe, making the show superlative despite venue limitations. Discover Subsonica's powerful live energy—listen to the concert and feel the pulse of Italy's finest electronic rock band!

 The instruments, varied and orchestrated sublimely, weave the threads of a net that eventually surrounds you without even giving you notice.

 They should be listened to in the dark, in absolute silence. Any noise would ruin the musical idyll.

The review highlights the importance of listening to Sigur Rós' Ágætis Byrjun in silence for full immersion. It praises the album's orchestral complexity, Icelandic setting, and enchanting vocals sung in a mysterious language. The music is described as captivating and deeply atmospheric, enveloping the listener in a unique soundscape. Dive into Sigur Rós' Ágætis Byrjun and experience the haunting beauty of Icelandic post-rock today!

 This album released on May 5, 2003, left me very puzzled.

 I’ve always loved Blur. And I will continue to do so, even if this album just doesn’t sit well with me.

The reviewer expresses long-standing admiration for Blur, yet finds 'Think Tank' a puzzling departure from their classic sound. Influences from Gorillaz and Fatboy Slim give the album a different vibe, especially after guitarist Graham Coxon's exit. Despite the mixed feelings, the reviewer remains loyal to the band. Lyrically and musically, the album explores new territories but lacks the typical Blur signature. Listen to Blur's 'Think Tank' and explore their bold new sound that bridges classic Britpop with experimental beats.

 "It’s always the same: they start slow with little keyboards and calm sounds. Then the break with 25 overdubbed distorted guitars that make the building shake."

 "Definitely the best track on the album." (referring to 'Don’t Stay')

The reviewer initially finds Meteora formulaic and predictable, with the usual quiet verses and heavy distorted guitars. While some tracks like 'Don’t Stay' and 'Numb' stand out, others like track 11 are disappointing. Overall, the album grows on the listener but remains familiar territory for Linkin Park. Discover the energy and nostalgia of Linkin Park’s Meteora—listen now and decide which tracks stand out for you!

 For those who like Placebo, this album will be enjoyable.

 "Sleeping With Ghosts" is a slow and poignant ballad, perhaps the best track on the album.

The review reflects on Placebo's fourth album, Sleeping With Ghosts, acknowledging its elegant but somewhat repetitive power pop style. The author debates Billy Corgan’s theory about bands ending after three albums, finding the album both familiar and enjoyable. Lyrically, the album remains dark and ironic with standout tracks like the poignant title ballad. While originality is questioned, the emotional and ironic nuances make it worthwhile for fans. Discover Placebo's haunting blend of dark lyrics and power pop—listen to Sleeping With Ghosts and explore its ironic depth yourself!

 There's no doubt about it, Subsonica is the best Italian band out there!

 As it's played, it's hard to distinguish the live tracks from the original album ones.

This review praises Subsonica as Italy's top band, highlighting the impressive double CD 'Controllo Del Livello Di Rombo' released in 2003. It features a mix of live tracks and three new songs, with a standout jungle-inspired track called 'L'errore.' The live performances are so well-captured that distinguishing them from studio versions is difficult. The reviewer offers thoughtful suggestions on track selection but highly recommends the album and Subsonica's other works. Listen to Subsonica's dynamic live album and explore their best tracks today!

 "The voice becomes almost an instrument, a bit drawn out sometimes, even evoking similarities with Travis or Tom Yorke."

 "An album perhaps released in the wrong season. It should be listened to on summer evenings, watching the starry sky, reflecting, dreaming, fantasizing."

Turin Brakes' second album, Ether Song, showcases a more mature, acoustic folk sound compared to their debut. The album features simple, Unplugged-style instrumentation with emotive vocals often likened to Travis and Thom Yorke. Key tracks like 'Long Distance,' 'Pain Killer,' and 'Blue Hour' stand out for their beauty and poignancy. Ideal for reflective summer evenings, the album offers a timeless, atmospheric listening experience. Listen to Turin Brakes' Ether Song and experience a timeless acoustic journey perfect for reflective summer nights.

 At first listen, one is truly baffled.

 Dean Garcia worked more on the 'highs,' neglecting the great depth that had characterized them.

The New Adventures Of Curve marks a return with a more electronic sound that shows some moments of creativity but lacks the depth and originality of earlier works. Production by Alan Moulder adds polish, but the album feels incomplete and misses the burst of genius that previously defined Curve. Standout tracks include 'Till The Cows Come Home,' 'Star,' and 'Joy,' which carries a New Order influence. Overall, a mixed effort balancing nostalgia with modern electronic touches. Discover Curve's latest electronic journey and decide if this nostalgic return resonates with you!
