 Led by Lee's six-string, which finally allowed him to fully express his great talent as a bluesman, this is however the album of Ray Gillen, one of the most talented singers of the '80s and unfortunately also one of the most unfortunate.

 A small jewel to be passed down to posterity, to show that in the early '90s there was not only grunge but also bands like Badlands who, despite lasting only for two albums, managed to create a record full of warmth and tradition while keeping a foot in the present.

 From a visual standpoint, it’s a real feast.

 Monsters vs. Aliens thus ends up being yet another excellently packaged product, but unable to truly engage the viewer.

Monsters vs Aliens impresses with its 3D visuals and playful sci-fi references but lacks depth in story and characters. The animation showcases Dreamworks' technical prowess, particularly in fur rendering, yet the plot is predictable and lightly developed. While themes like self-acceptance and courage appear, they don't elevate the film beyond a typical light family comedy. Overall, it's visually engaging but narratively forgettable. Watch Monsters vs Aliens for a visually stunning 3D experience with fun sci-fi nods, but don’t expect a deep story.

 Spike Jonze with his creation not only amazed me by making a video that has absolutely nothing to do with the song, combining a big beat track with breakbeat tendencies for break-dancers in the middle of the street with a floor gymnastics performance.

 The video is indeed set within a competition where the role of the gymnast protagonist is played by Sofia Coppola, and towards the end, it focuses on the little things that easily go unnoticed and perhaps hide an old and glorious story.

Featuring Sofia Coppola and supported by intense bass riffs and rap vocals, the video elevates the track beyond typical expectations.
