The Ruts invented Punk-Reggae from scratch, a softer version of the genre is by the Members. 'Babylon’s Burning', for example, is better in this live version, in my opinion.

Try to imagine a perfectly useless album. Well, this is the case with 'Any Day Now.' 'Tears Of Rage' indeed becomes a pathetic showcase for Baez’s voice. A real travesty.

Great cinema does not live by great means alone, and intelligence, creativity, and culture can well redeem budget constraints. The almost destabilizing, labyrinthine structure of the space and the surprising forays into the subjective world of the heroine give rise to a nightmare atmosphere.

A real debut with a bang (in terms of quality, but unfortunately not in terms of sales). "Sheepdog" would have you scream scandal, plagiarism for its sinuosity and beauty, only to realize such melody and way of making music you've never heard anywhere.

The result appears too predictable from the first listens. Some good anthems, but not enough to reach full sufficiency, moreover, it was reasonable to expect more after the excellent response to the second album.

Silverstein's Arrivals & Departures follows the sonic blueprint of their earlier works but falls short by being overly predictable and repetitive.

The album struggles to meet the expectations set by its predecessor and ultimately results in a half-hearted effort.

Sometimes not all the make-up is harmful, and if you have a bit of patience and good faith... I’ll explain why. Either it really cites Kraut-rock or I’m going deaf (I fear I suspect the answer...).
