 A bridge is only meant to unite and not to divide.

 Although I greatly appreciate other works by Calatrava, the structure aesthetically does not convince me.

The Ponte della Costituzione by Santiago Calatrava is Venice’s fourth pedestrian bridge over the Grand Canal, notable for its modern design and mixed public reception. While technical issues like stability have been disproven, controversies focus on accessibility and its contemporary look contrasting with Venice’s historic aesthetic. The reviewer appreciates Calatrava’s career but finds this work less daring and somewhat perplexing. The bridge’s usefulness is recognized despite divided opinions. Discover the story behind Venice’s modern bridge and decide for yourself how Calatrava’s design fits into the city’s timeless charm.

 The video is a little masterpiece created by mixing animation and live-action footage: the creatures and sets were all handcrafted, enhancing the fairy-tale effect.

Michel Gondry’s 'Human Behaviour' video for Björk’s 1994 debut single is a striking blend of handcrafted animation and live-action. Inspired by classic fairy tales, it creates a mysterious and dark atmosphere where the protagonist faces nature’s predators.

 This second CD is a real album, and not a collection of tracks put aside as a reserve.

 Put Thom Yorke on drums and you get 'Bangers and Mash,' an excellent Rock 'n Roll track that live, is even more satisfying.

 "La signora (die Majorin, 1936) is, therefore, not an indispensable text, by a rather forgettable author whose importance does not lie in its content but in its ability to tell 'something else', to go beyond the story itself."

 "Indispensable, as a true witness, is in my opinion, the support: in its bright green, in its lines marked by a dense and deep black, in its binding as strong as barbed wire. It has resisted."

The review contextualizes Ernst Wiechert's 'La Signora' within the Nazi era's propaganda literature, highlighting its limited literary value but notable historical significance. The novel's survival and its editions are contrasted with Anna Seghers' post-war work, 'The Seventh Cross,' emphasizing differing legacies. 'La Signora' acts as a testament to cultural and political influences on literature during 1933-1945. Discover the complex stories behind Nazi-era literature and explore the contrasting wartime narratives of 'La Signora' and 'The Seventh Cross.'

 This syrupy album doesn’t even reach the results of the previous one, that 'A Twist in the Myth.'

The review criticizes Blind Guardian's 'At The Edge Of Time' for lacking the band's traditional power metal edge and originality.

 "Here Lies Love" is the most 'blended' (chaotic?) work imaginable, mixing folk, Latin rhythms, jazz, and artistic pop.

 The project involved 21 vocalists, mostly female, and was crafted over nearly three years, showcasing high-level performances.

The album 'Here Lies Love' is a concept double CD musical focusing on Imelda Marcos, created by David Byrne and Fatboy Slim. With 22 songs performed mostly by female vocalists, it blends various genres from folk to jazz and pop. The album's eclectic and experimental nature results in a mixed but cautiously positive reception. It's recommended as an enjoyable, playful listen rather than a traditional music experience. Listen to the vibrant and unique 'Here Lies Love' album and experience a daring musical blend by David Byrne & Fatboy Slim.

 Filippo De Paoli’s voice advances like a snake: at times it glides, slow, then jolts, slices and dices the air.

 'Never A Need' ... a punch to the stomach and a good chocolate, because it hurts, but the sense of emptiness the punch leaves you is a candy to savor.

 Malfeitor’s music is imbued with a black and putrid aura, due to its occult and negative lyrics, inseparable from the music of Incubus.

 Fabban has improved greatly in vocal arrangement, the filthy and violent guitars, and the rest of the instruments accompanied by a warm and full production give us a devastating and indestructible Wall of Sound.

Malfeitor's second album, Incubus, marks a mature evolution from their debut with more considered and malevolent aggression. Fabban, also known from Aborym, delivers improved vocal arrangements and dense production, creating a powerful wall of sound. The album features occult lyrics exploring deep esotericism rather than typical black metal clichés. Incubus stands out as a significant and layered work in the Italian black metal scene, worthy of careful listening. Dive into Malfeitor's Incubus and experience the dark depths of Italian black metal now!

 "Black As Pitch is, in fact, perhaps the hardest album the band has ever produced."

 "The lack of originality and a production that... has made the sound too powerful... are the flaws that prevent the work from rising to the rank of 'masterpiece'."

Necrodeath's 2001 album Black As Pitch continues their thrash-black metal fusion with intense speed and brutality. While the album features strong performances, particularly on drums and guitar riffs influenced by Slayer and Kreator, it lacks originality and sometimes buries vocals in the powerful production. Despite these flaws and some tedious moments, the album delivers an intense experience that appeals to fans of brutal extreme metal. Explore Necrodeath's intense Black As Pitch and experience thrash-black metal at its brutal best.

 "One exceptional song in an album of absolute mediocrity doesn’t justify a prolonged listen, let alone a purchase."

While praising the track "Between The Lines," the rest of the album suffers from repetitive riffs and lack of creativity.

The criticism extends to the band's future prospects in the hardcore scene. Explore the full review and decide if The Ghost Inside's Returners is worth your listen or skip!

 If Silver Surfer has become the cult object it is today, it is probably more thanks to this 'turn' than to the adventures of the '60s and '70s.

 The greatness of Moebius lay in understanding that drawing had to break free from the tyranny of scriptwriters, becoming 'its own story'.

 "The Final Frontier is indeed what is known in Lombardy as a 'quadrello,' that is a brick, extremely heavy."

 "It’s definitely time for Iron Maiden to stop making studio albums!"

This review critically assesses Iron Maiden's 2010 album 'The Final Frontier,' arguing it lacks the spirit and innovation of their classic works.

It highlights the album's mainstream choruses, overproduction, and lack of originality. While a few tracks show glimpses of quality, the overall impression is that the band played it safe and regressed musically. Dive into the review to see why 'Homesick' may be a step back for A Day To Remember fans.
