The novelty of The Rifles’ beat also lies in the ska fusion which makes its appearance in the background on several occasions. By the fourth bullet they shoot at my forehead, I’m convinced this is the album that Franz Ferdinand are trying to make and have not yet found.

Bayleaf is an essential album for Pearl Jam fans and the most orthodox grungers. Stone Gossard isn’t a genius. He’s not an excellent guitarist. Nor an exceptional character. But he writes good songs.

"Supervixens is not a film, Supervixens is a cartoon performed by actors and actresses (mostly actresses) in flesh and blood." The work of a convinced erotomaniac who enjoys scandalizing old ladies who go to church three times a week, and arousing the priests who confess them.

The genre proposed by Mastercastle is nothing more than the usual rehashed power metal that has endlessly drained us over the past years. They may have tried hard but the result is more pointless than poor.

While the female vocalist Giorgia Gueglio and guitarist Pier Gonnella show talent, the overall album fails to impress or bring anything new to the genre. Despite polished production, the album is described as dull and repetitive, with little to recommend except for a couple of tracks. The reviewer advises listeners to avoid the album. Read the full review and decide if Mastercastle's 'The Phoenix' is worth your time or just another power metal cliché.
The rock becomes excessively guitar-centric, which works well for 'Jailbird' but not for 'Rocks', which does transform into a banal little song. Gillespie then looks like a terribly aged Dolce and Gabbana mannequin in cigarette pants and a vaguely mod look that’s completely out of time.

Discover why Primal Scream’s 2009 live show missed the mark and explore their classic hits that made them icons.
A beautiful concert: intense, generous, never predictable, but it could be different every night because drawing from the history of an artist like Nick Cave is too easy. A sacred monster becomes old when he has nothing more to say and becomes a clone of himself. This is not really the case for Nick Cave.

An album that doesn’t settle for just making a lot of “noise” but manages to break it up with excellent melodic breaks like in the already mentioned “Sons Of Cain.” It’s probably this excess of perfectionism that ruins it all... With that damned bland sensation. Neither fish nor fowl.

Criminal's White Hell delivers excellent thrash-death metal with strong riffs, melodic breaks, and top-notch production.

Explore Criminal's White Hell for powerful thrash metal riffs crafted with modern finesse—listen now to judge the blend of tradition and perfectionism.

"The Shiver managed to craft a work where the so-called 'epic twists' can be found only and exclusively in the invaluable external contributions." "Hans Ruedi Giger... contributed to the legendary reputation of a work that, from a strictly musical point of view, does not yet have either an audacious fusion of genres nor particularly complex structures."

An objective fully met, with songs all well-written and rich in suggestions, each of which offers something to the listener. A really well-crafted album, which combines many seemingly distant ingredients and that, if you’ve ever been charmed by certain groups from the ’80s, 'sounds' really good.

It can make you cry, it can make you laugh, it can make you think, it can make you jump out of your seat with an even greater effect than horror films. Most of the tracks are divided into a 'basic' version for calm exploration and a 'combat' version that becomes much harsher, elevating the tension.
