The Punisher

 If I think of all those years wasted being idiots and shoveling crap, who would’ve thought that cribbing from Pavarotti or Bocelli... would find the recipe for happiness!

 Excellent entertainers/circus performers... without style, without class but most often simple 'raucous noise in C major.'

 The result is an album cold, glacial, where a 'fake' soul oozes, planned at the table.

 Those who have experienced it know. And they do not reside here, in this cute and pleasant album, which truly feels empty and remarkably like a loud sham.

Robbie Williams' Intensive Care is a technically well-produced album with polished arrangements and catchy tracks. However, it lacks emotional depth and originality, feeling cold and overly calculated. The review criticizes the album for playing it safe to satisfy mainstream fans, contrasting it with more daring and authentic music. Ultimately, it is seen as a predictable, homogenized pop product without real artistic risk. Discover the truth behind Robbie Williams' Intensive Care—listen and decide if it delivers or disappoints.

 Predictable in its coldness and cleanliness, where the only thing missing is precisely the soul, the warmth, the sweat, the humanity.

 A horrifying recycling of ideas already used as seasoning in better dishes (much tastier and especially much more nutritious).

 The class is all there, nothing to say, but there’s a sense of 'little soul' encapsulated in sounds not particularly captivating or modern.

 An album that after a couple of listens I imagine will be, like others, placed in the most unlikely point of one’s music shelf or, at best, resold for 8 euros at some downtown stall.

Kate Bush returns after 12 years with 'Aerial,' a double album showcasing beautiful craftsmanship but lacking the emotional depth and modernity of her earlier works. The album is split into two themed parts, inspired by nature and daily life. While some tracks offer moments of charm, overall it feels predictable and less captivating, missing the edge that once characterized Bush's music. Fans may appreciate the artistry but might find it less compelling compared to her past masterpieces. Listen to Kate Bush's 'Aerial' and explore a beautifully crafted yet contemplative return from a legendary artist.

 Bacharach gives us a shake-up, removing the tux and bow tie for rawer, more essential songs.

 The album, described as 'a punch in the stomach delivered with a velvet glove,' feels more like a weak and intimidated punch.

Burt Bacharach's At This Time seeks to present a rawer, more engaged side of the legendary composer, addressing political themes with collaborators like Elvis Costello and Rufus Wainwright. However, the album's musical execution struggles under dated pseudo-lounge arrangements, leaving it feeling tepid and underwhelming. Despite good intentions and heartfelt messages, the overall impact is diminished musically. The album is seen as a weak artistic statement from a 77-year-old icon trying to reconnect with contemporary issues. Discover Burt Bacharach’s rare political statements and collaborations—listen to At This Time and judge its bold but flawed message yourself!
