 "Accusani without Poles seems no longer himself..."

 "'Il fiore per te' is a poignant power ballad that tells of a lost love..."

Sick Tamburo's album 'Senza vergogna' follows their previous work with a slow, post-rock style dominated by pounding drums. Despite a few inspired, faster tracks, the album overall feels uninspired. The reviewer notes that Accusani seems off without Poles, and hardcore punk fans may be disappointed. Explore Sick Tamburo's 'Senza vergogna' and decide if their new sound resonates with you.

 A little over twenty minutes to reconcile memory with perception through a long isthmus of melancholy and heartache.

The review praises Harold Budd’s EP The Serpent (In Quicksilver) for its evocative minimalism and emotional depth. It highlights Budd’s shift from orchestral arrangements to intimate solo piano textures.

 The result is a muffled, disorienting effect, very much like Jesus and Mary Chain, but more powerful.

 The episodes to positively highlight are undoubtedly the wild 'Occhi a spillo,' the wicked 'Sono un’immondizia,' and the depressive single 'Luca.'

Gioia nera (2004) marks Prozac+’s shift toward electronic-infused rock, guided by Gian Maria Accusani. Though some filler tracks slightly weaken the album, highlights like Occhi a spillo and Sono un’immondizia stand out.

 We are men, but we sleep in deep holes dug in the ground, we nourish ourselves with what we can.

 A damned fresh and innovative sound, heavily copied in the coming years, almost immeasurably.

 There is a lack of authentic emotion, and in an autobiographical film, this is almost absurd.

 Apparent contradictions that irritate rather than intrigue, and add nothing to the texture of the crisis that Valerio experiences after discovering the violent world of adults.

Padrenostro, directed by Claudio Noce, struggles to convey authentic emotion in its autobiographical recounting of a 1976 terrorist attack on the director's father. The script lacks depth and fails to develop meaningful themes or character growth, resulting in superficial and sometimes frustrating storytelling. Despite some promising ideas and artistic attempts, the film does not successfully evoke the complexities of childhood or father-son dynamics. The soundtrack and stylistic choices fail to enhance the overall narrative. Read our in-depth review of Padrenostro and discover why this autobiographical film misses the emotional mark.

 "Gli anni più belli is not a romance film, it is a punch to the gut that focuses on the nature of relationships between person and person."

 "A work like this can, in my opinion, be considered part of what I would define as a 'neo-neo-realism' of these years."

The reviewer admires how Gli anni più belli transcends traditional romance, offering a raw portrayal of human relationships over forty years. Praising Muccino's directing and the performances, especially by Pierfrancesco Favino, the film is seen as a quality example of recent Italian cinema.

 "A good debut, suitable for lovers of well-played and equally inspired pop punk."

The album combines pop punk energy with early explorations of themes such as drugs, social maladjustment, and existential loneliness.

 The desire to copy themselves.

 The songs are stale, you forget them immediately, perhaps with the exception of a couple of tracks at most.

Misery Signals' latest album Ultraviolet fails to live up to their earlier masterpieces. Despite solid production and vocal performance, it lacks innovation and memorable tracks.

 Considering that certain musical opinion doesn’t distinguish value from pretentiousness, go ahead confidently, Canadian post-punk band, with colossal-colored concept videos.

 No arrangement of brass and strings, no polished video, vocoder, rhythmic solution, or desire to break free from the genre would salvage a track like The Next Fix from the garbage.

The review highlights Crack Cloud's Pain Olympics as a visually ambitious project with sociological themes but musically lacking originality and coherence. While their concept videos impress with dystopian and Eastern European imagery, the music leans heavily on unremarkable post-punk influences. Some tracks fall flat, and the album fails to live up to the promise of their previous work. Fans are encouraged to explore side projects instead. Explore Crack Cloud’s Pain Olympics—watch the concept videos and decide if their post-punk vision resonates with you.
