❝ Offramp remains a historic CD in Metheny's production, clean, perfect, emotional.
❝ Throughout the album, you can hear and feel the characteristics that made this group famous: well-crafted dynamics, fresh and never banal melodies, complex and studied harmonies, a particular taste for minimalism, and improvisation.
❝ The breaking down of musical barriers led, in 1987, to the composition of what is considered by many to be one of the guitarist's highest musical/artistic expressions, and it is with this 'Still Life (Talking)' that Metheny reached one of his creative peaks.
❝ The alternation between Petrucciani’s ever-emotional piano and Miller's precise bass pulse is, in fact, a real pleasure, as are Garrett's sax forays.
❝ M2, an album released in 2001, winner of a Grammy award, represents the pinnacle of Miller's most mature and prolific phase;
❝ This album represents everything that is Miller's music, it is and remains his most beautiful record, and it is certainly one of the greatest fusion releases ever.
❝ Silence the detractors of this flight of fancy! We’re talking about PASSION!
❝ Pure emotions. That’s all you can expect when Steven Wilson is involved, one of the many misunderstood geniuses of today’s music scene, on par with the likes of Daniel Gildenlow, Roine Stolt, Neal Morse, and the rest...
❝ Four stars cannot be denied, Robben Ford is a great artist. Difficult to be deeply passionate about him, but impossible not to enjoy his music, his creativity, his rightness.
❝ “Revelation” is a concentration of technique and melody that involves the listener on an ecstatic level, delivering refined emotions.
❝ an excellent guitarist with great technique who has a predominantly jazz style
❝ This is love, I admit it.
❝ An album composed and played in a state of grace.
❝ Reel To Real is the DNA of Simple Minds.
❝ “Summerteeth is the sound of quiet desperation.”
❝ “The first great masterpiece of the millennium.”
❝ “Attending a Wilco live is like participating in a sacred performance.”
❝ "Hope and Desire" is the 2005 album and it is the most mature.
❝ Scofield possesses one of the greatest qualities of the great jazz musicians: you recognize him after two notes.
❝ John Scofield (b 1951 USA) is among the few guitarists, in the vast musical landscape, capable of 'giving' their instrument a distinctive, original, and unmistakable sound.
❝ As soon as I pop it in the player, it reveals itself to be one of the most pleasantly funky albums I have ever listened to.
❝ A masterpiece of despair, a despair expressed through the canons of high-ranking psychedelia.
❝ Deconstructed trip-hop.
❝ There is not a single song worth saving.
❝ The song “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” – beautiful anyway – made him known to everyone, sure, but here we’re in a different league.
❝ In conclusion, “Odelay” is a fundamental album for rock music in the ’90s and, in general, a model to follow when it comes to the ability to reinvent musical genres, blending them together in a unique and unrepeatable way.
❝ A melancholic cloud hangs over Sea Change.
❝ If one thing is certain, it's that the blond sprite from LA is not in a creativity crisis.
❝ Michael Moore is truly passionate about highlighting with hard-hitting and polemical documentaries how even the most powerful country in the world has its flaws.
❝ Either you pay, or you're on your own, basically!
❝ WARNING: The writer declines any responsibility for possible damages to wonderful lies, self-esteem, jumps from thirty-meter skyscrapers, and multicolored balls.
❝ The 30 Seconds to Mars. Never felt the urge to listen to them. In fact, I actually avoided them.
❝ In conclusion a horrible album to be avoided.
❝ Unforgettable album.
❝ This little gem, easy to listen to yet very classy, encloses 18 minutes of authentic and emotional music.
❝ Be that as it may, my compliments to the minstrels of Oregon. Rating 4.8
❝ “Play” was the album that, at the end of the nineties, gave electronic music the dignity it deserved as a musical genre, finally eliminating the concept of “computer-made stuff”.
❝ The first aspect to consider when reviewing “Play” is that, in a moment made difficult for the recording industry by the easy transfer of “data”, this work sold 23 million copies, 20 of which were albums and 3 were singles extracted from it.
❝ At 53, Richard Melville Hall gives us his best album in years, imbued with inspiration and immense class, crowning a journey that is increasingly consistent and never tamed.
❝ We all remember Nada Surf thanks to their splendid debut "High/Low" released back in 1996, when with the single "Popular," which was highly played even by MTV, they achieved a good international success.
❝ Santana is sweat, it is eroticism, it is shaking your ass to the relentless rhythm even if you're at a funeral.
❝ So let's confidently be guided by our expert shaman and embark on this adventure called "Caravanserai."
❝ This album should be listened to with company, because it must be danced to.
❝ “It's like when you light the zarsa, you feel it burn a bit in your mouth but the taste is so good.”
❝ “Dan Auerbach, the redhead, and Patrick Carney, the nerd.”
❝ “There is no heart or soul; in Let's rock, there are few ideas, banal and stale riffs, no potential hits, just lots and lots and looooooots of boooooooring boredom.”
❝ Bonamassa is possessed, driven by a musical passion and specifically by guitar playing that grants him infinite energy.
❝ One of Joe Bonamassa's best albums: “Richmond,” “Ball Peen Hammer” and the ending of “One of These Days” are poetry to me: four and a half stars.
❝ Bonamassa never creates trash. Just things a bit useless, now and then, but only because he arrived last, out of time, and is objectively devoid of a strong personality, too manipulated by the manic passion for those who did what he loves so much before him.
❝ Weak. Predictable. Useless.
❝ Audioslave formed in 2001 under the moniker Civilian, and consisted of Tom Morello, Tim Commerford, and Brad Wilk, respectively guitarist, bassist, and drummer of Rage Against The Machine.
❝ The result leaves no doubt, the voice is the astonishing trademark of Audioslave.
❝ Brad Mehldau. A genius.
❝ “Romanticism implies nostalgia for damaged goods. Music is heightened nostalgia” B.Mehldau.
❝ Traditional jazz lovers, beware, shoo, away!
❝ The blues in its true form is a reflection of a man's life and comes from personal experiences, both good and bad. I acknowledge that I have unintentionally hurt many people, left friends, and now the only thing worth living for is the blues
❝ “Bluesbreakers With Eric Clapton” marked an indelible turning point for blues and rock blues, laying the foundation for the subsequent hard and heavy evolution: it influenced many musicians, and bands like Cream, Led Zeppelin, and Free, just to name a few, certainly owe something to this record.
❝ I believe that John Mayall is the most important white Blues musician, and he has been since the sixties when, with his Bluesbreakers, he took on the role of a true pioneer of the British blues revival.
❝ "For all the love you’ve left behind / You can have mine."
❝ Certainly one of the most interesting albums of 2004 is Our Endless Numbered Days by Sam Beam, known as Iron & Wine.
❝ A must-have and endlessly listenable like the "become" of the final track repeated obsessively.
❝ Forgiveness Rock Record is the Pantone catalog of serenity, rarely disturbed, and in a certain sense erected to a state of consciousness that we should all arm ourselves with, if we don’t want to go crazy.
❝ A great concert, truly. And further confirmation that there is something in Toronto that grows musicians really well.
❝ A beautiful record. Truly beautiful.
❝ “…Back to being who I was before…”
❝ But, when you listen to these songs, it will seem like admiring a sketch by Michelangelo.
❝ “Born In The UK” will have the merit of introducing this chubby genius to a wider audience
❝ For the person writing to you, the best band of the last 25 years.
❝ Go without bread, for once, but by divine goodness, not without a work like this one.
❝ These gentlemen are extraordinary, no doubt about it: enjoy listening and welcome back to Isis.
❝ After forty years, evolving is not taken for granted, and often it is done in the opposite direction. But not here, not this time.
❝ My band and I never talk about this album, and we don’t even play it at concerts.
❝ No doubt, this album is an absolute must-have.
❝ Buy the record, period.
❝ Nashville is a wonderfully warm, typical, intimate, and enveloping album.
❝ Sound drug so well written, produced, played, and sung that everything else fades far into the background, almost disappears.
❝ Boards Of Canada are a mystery.
❝ It is a nocturnal journey within oneself and simultaneously through thirty years of avant-garde electronics.
❝ The rest is almost unlistenable.
❝ Not just Buck Rogers, then.
Buck Rogers
❝ Feeder just can’t make bad albums, this is now established.
❝ It’s currently difficult to find a better proposal than Feeder in the realm of melodic rock.
❝ we are in the presence of one of the most powerful, precise, in-tune, and soulful voices around.
❝ Calm, storm, and calm again (live, it seems they are irresistible: three guitars, two basses, two drums, violin, cello, and visual projections!).
❝ A work of art.
❝ post-rock devotees will have one of the absolute pinnacles of the entire genre in their hands.
❝ their music is mostly banal and simplistic.
❝ "I’m a fucking genius" (Noel Gallagher)
❝ This is undoubtedly the masterpiece of the Gallagher brothers
❝ I drink to remember /Why all this blood is on my teeth /I drink to forget /What am I about to do
❝ A work to listen to with attention, where the keyboards are the undisputed masters of the scene and aim to guide the listener through a truly vast range of colorations.
❝ The singer is Corey Taylor, but Stone Sour is not Slipknot.
❝ Great job, Corey & Co.
❝ There are no heroines to save and bring back from an underwater world.
❝ EVERY RECORD HAS ITS REASON!!!
❝ Mono manages to make their guitars sound like a set of violins...
❝ Qotsa: probably the best fucking rock band on the planet!
❝ An album that combines sophistication with a lack of pretentiousness, it's enjoyable without tiring, flowing rapidly: a small hallucinogenic masterpiece!
❝ This is the key to understanding (or rather listening to) the latest and newest masterpiece by the band of Josh Homme, the soul and mind of the stoner scene worldwide for over 10 years now.
❝ It is incredibly painful to talk about this album with the awareness that we are facing the last work in the thirty-year career of this formidable group; it is incredibly painful to do so at such a short distance from the death of Mimi Parker, the heart and soul of the group along with her partner Alan Sparhawk.
❝ Double Negative is one of those albums that provoke a sense of alienation after the first listen, greater awareness after the second, and a sudden and irreversible love from the third onwards;
❝ buy this album and don't listen to it. Put it on the shelf and forget about it.
❝ Norah's crystal-clear talent is audible in every track of an album that reaches its peak in songs like "Don't Know Why" (written for her by Jesse Harris), "Lonestar" (written by Lee Alexander), the alluring "Nightingale," and especially "Come Away with me," perhaps, to date, the most beautiful track she has ever written herself.
❝ the album is what it is… relaxed, standard pop-jazz with nothing weird or risky… you put it on and it runs as smooth as a baba!
❝ A project that showcases the artistic maturity of the singer-songwriter and consecrates her voice, “magical” for many, boring for some.
❝ But remember: it's always just rock'n'roll.
❝ This Boris produce music at the same speed with which an eighty-year-old pees.
❝ The ever-evolving hydra from the Land of the Rising Sun mocks those who can't seem to evolve..
❝ The impossibility of finding oneself again.
❝ Sigur Rós don’t play Post-Rock, they play the way Sigur Rós play, which is like no one else plays.
❝ The feeling is that of being part of an important moment in the History of Music:
❝ You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
❝ It’s fucking rock’n’roll after all, it’s live, it’s blood and sweat.
❝ A complete and essential album in music history.
