 I can’t help but laugh when I read the title of this album: Vasco tracks 2 unreleased and rarities.

 My dear Vasco, the game is over in the Clako house.

The reviewer, once a devoted Vasco Rossi fan, expresses deep disappointment in 'Vasco tracks 2.' The unreleased songs lack creativity and feel hastily produced.

 "I have an uncontrollable urge to vomit.... does anyone want to finish this crude review for me?"

 Musically speaking, Sabryna is the transgender counterpart of Leone di Lernia, with much more vulgarity and much less business.

 How can one not tip their hat (and vomit in it) to an androgynous singer who, on a catchy pop base, extols her love for urine and the consequent joy of pissing in a song like "Pisciatemi in Bocca"?

 An album that makes its "weak points" its strengths.

 The title track represents the entire spirit of the work: dark, slow, melancholic, and full of that musical "monotony" and stillness.

 Thrash in form, but little substance, to be even remotely comparable to the Four Horsemen.

Bullet For My Valentine’s album Scream Aim Fire fails to meet expectations after their successful debut. The shift from melodic metalcore to a thrash metal style results in inconsistency and lack of spirit. While some instrumental parts shine, weak vocals and repetitive choruses weigh down the album.

 The Dome is used by King as little more than a pretext for writing a splendid choral novel that demonstrates how people can change and do rash things when placed in strange and difficult situations.
