 "Tiny Cities represents a good alt-country album, closely linked to Kozelek, although the tracks were not born from his mind."

 "The final result is an album teetering between a 'experimental' solution and some frankly somewhat incomprehensible choices."

Tiny Cities, Sun Kil Moon's second album, is a divisive work mainly because it consists of covers from Modest Mouse reinterpreted by Mark Kozelek in an alt-country style. The album’s short length and sparse arrangements make it a less emotionally powerful release compared to the debut. Nonetheless, some tracks stand out for their melancholic beauty and Kozelek's distinctive voice, making it an intriguing if uneven listen. Listen to Sun Kil Moon’s Tiny Cities and explore the unique reinterpretations of Modest Mouse’s songs through Kozelek’s heartfelt voice and guitar.

 An album by Edwards/Woven Hand is a journey towards a parallel world in which the feelings of a bygone era are revived, where we find what we thought was lost.

 "Blue Pail Fever" reiterates [Edwards’s genius] forcefully, with its "on the road" flavor, the ancient atmosphere, Edwards’s own voice.

Woven Hand’s self-titled debut album offers a unique blend of dark country, gothic rock, and folk led by David Eugene Edwards’s evocative voice. The album paints an intimate, hallucinatory atmosphere with simple yet powerful instrumentation. Standout tracks like "The Good Hand" and "Blue Pail Fever" capture Edwards’s genius and emotional depth. Despite a few weaker moments, the album is a moving journey into ancestral and western themes. Dive into Woven Hand’s haunting debut—listen now and explore a dark country world like no other.

 'X' brings some novelties to Royal Hunt’s house with a greater sonic sophistication and a notable fusion of hard rock, metal, and prog.

 'X' is a work that confirms the quality of this band, one of the most prolific and original in the genre, capable of renewing themselves despite several lineup changes.

 De Niro returns to his roots and tells us a story set in those tough American neighborhoods where he himself was born and raised.

 Calogero’s story is a parable towards truth, towards the discovery of life’s fundamental values, towards recognizing the importance of work, family, and love...

The review reflects admiration for Robert De Niro’s career and praises his 1993 directorial debut, A Bronx Tale. It highlights the film's nostalgic portrayal of the 1960s Bronx, focusing on family struggles, loyalty, and the moral growth of young Calogero. The performances, especially De Niro and Chazz Palminteri, are noted as strong. The film is seen as a heartfelt parable about life, work, and values. Discover the heartfelt story of A Bronx Tale—watch and experience De Niro's touching tribute to family and the Bronx.

 Tranquility. This is the key word that came to my mind after listening to the second work by Balmorhea.

 "Baleen Morning" is an astonishing gem of modern neoclassical combined with post-rock of sublime refinement, simple and never overstated.

Balmorhea's Rivers Arms album offers a tranquil and intimate listening experience with dreamy neoclassical melodies and post-rock influences. While some tracks like "Lament" and "Baleen Morning" stand out for their emotional depth and refinement, the album as a whole falls slightly short of the band’s usual ethereal quality. Nevertheless, it remains a pleasant and soothing album recommended for those seeking a peaceful musical escape. Listen to Balmorhea's Rivers Arms and immerse yourself in an hour of tranquil neoclassical beauty.

 Finally, someone who doesn’t skin your balls with formidable high notes and stuff like that, but brings passion and is remembered for a different voice.

 Astral Doors focused on simplicity, stripping down the concept of heavy metal: aggressive riffs, well-placed solos executed with diligence, then the singer takes care of the rest.

Astral Doors' debut album 'Of The Son And The Father' pays homage to classic '80s heavy metal with straightforward riffs and passionate vocals. The band embraces NWOBHM influences, especially early Iron Maiden, delivering a solid and memorable metal experience. While not innovative, the album's strength lies in its honest, unpretentious approach and powerful voice of Nils Patrik Johansson. A must-listen for fans of traditional heavy metal. Listen to Astral Doors' powerful debut and experience true heavy metal passion today!

 It brings joy using sadness...

 McKennitt’s dreamy voice is contrasted with strings and sweet, barely hinted guitar notes, almost ethereal, which with their metaphysical touch transport the final track to another dimension.

Loreena McKennitt’s album The Wind That Shakes The Barley showcases her timeless, melancholic voice and deep cultural storytelling. The reduced instrumentation highlights her vocal magic, transporting listeners to distant, mythical landscapes. Though some tracks feel too familiar, the album shines as a heartfelt tribute to tradition and nostalgia. A must-listen for fans of new age and Celtic folk music. Listen to Loreena McKennitt’s captivating album and immerse yourself in timeless Celtic folk melodies today!

 Pretentious and very very confused is this "Dust" by Milcho Manchevski.

 If you really have two hours to waste, you might as well immerse yourself in this viewing.

Milcho Manchevski's Dust is a pretentious and confusing film that fails to deliver a coherent story. Set between New York, the Balkans, and the Wild West, it struggles with a tangled plot and uneven acting performances. Despite a few notable battle scenes and some good acting from David Wenham, the film is mostly weighed down by its convoluted narrative and lack of clear direction. Recommended only for those who enjoy complex and unpretentious stories. Read our review and decide if Milcho Manchevski’s Dust is worth your time or just a confusing mess.

 The album is certainly adequate, but adds nothing to the career of one of the most beautiful rock realities in history.

 Their fate was written even before they were born, their story seemed to have already been told.

Uriah Heep's 'Head First' continues the band's struggle to regain the critical acclaim of their early years. Despite a promising start with strong tracks like 'The Other Side of Midnight' and 'Stay on Top,' the album falls into predictable rock territory. Lineup disruptions and internal conflicts are evident, resulting in a solid but uninspired record that adds little to their legacy. The band’s resilience stands out even if this album doesn’t become a defining moment. Explore Uriah Heep's 'Head First' to hear their rock resilience and judge the album's mix of hits and misses yourself!

 Dirty, wasted, stinky, hallucinated, psychedelic, heavy, weird. Saint Vitus.

 Eat this satanic boletus without fear.

Saint Vitus' 'Hallow's Victim' is a seminal doom metal album that builds on the band's 1984 debut with dark, heavy, and psychedelic sounds. The album features standout tracks that showcase the guitar work of Dave Chandler and vocals of Scott Reagers. Its rotten, haunting atmosphere solidifies its place in underground metal history. Fans of doom and stoner metal will appreciate this classic release. Dive into the grim world of doom metal—listen to Saint Vitus' 'Hallow's Victim' and experience a psychedelic heavy metal classic today!
