 Everyone works with the handbrake on: Gilmour doesn’t even occasionally show off his proverbial agility, merely laying down synthetic, atmospheric soundscapes everywhere.

 The album is very pleasant, with a Nordic and icy something that is also perfectly suitable for the intended series.

Steel Umbrellas by Saga serves as a commissioned soundtrack for the TV series Cobra, resulting in a more restrained and less dynamic album than its predecessor. While technically proficient and pleasant with a cool, atmospheric vibe, the songs lack memorable hooks and energetic performances. The band members hold back their typical flair to suit the soundtrack’s purpose, producing an album that is more work than heart. Despite its limitations, some tracks like "Shake that Tree" stand out as enjoyable moments. Explore Saga's unique soundtrack album and discover the atmospheric sounds behind the TV series Cobra.

 "Regina di cuori" is a standout at first listen but soon reveals itself as simple and commercial pop.

 As Pelu puts it, 'have sold your soul to the market...'

Mondi Sommersi, Litfiba's 1997 album, marks a notable shift from their rock roots to a more commercial pop sound. While some tracks like "Sparami" retain the band's original rock essence, the majority appeals to a broader audience at the expense of longtime fans.

 Hyperion is weak, settled on itself, and regressed.

 I cannot stand the voice of the singer Lars Larsen.

Manticora's third album Hyperion ventures into new musical territories with progressive and thrash elements but falls short compared to their previous works.

Overall, it's considered a weak and unconvincing step backward for the band. Discover the full review and listen to Manticora’s Hyperion to form your own opinion on this bold, yet flawed, metal journey.
