 The real Supertramp were something else: they brought unpredictable and incisive melodies, surprising chord sequences, chiselled and sublime piano riffs.

 This work would deserve four full stars if only it were the album of a new classic American jazz blues band. But it’s the tenth of the legendary Supertramp, and compared to Crime of the Century it would hardly deserve two...

Rick Davies' jazz and blues influences dominate, yet the album lacks the unpredictability and memorable melodies of earlier works.

 It’s not just the fruitful alternation between the two different voices ... it’s just that the inspiration is weak, the ideas diluted.

 My judgment ... is that of a profound admirer, but not of a delusional worshipper for the sake of everything produced by this band.

 Four tracks, two twelve-inch vinyls, 45 RPM, one track per side, about 30 minutes of dark, blood-weeping dub filth.

 This is pure dub shit updated to the degrading twenty-first century, no abstraction or intellectualism, concrete forms of 'music for bodies,' just pure filthy dub.

Shackleton’s Fireworks is a powerful and haunting dubstep release consisting of four tracks across two vinyls.

The review positions Yello's 'Claro Que Si' as an enigmatic and challenging album, combining sharp irony with mystification. The reviewer reflects on discomfort and absurdity, linking it to the band's Swiss origins and production style.

 The script decides to take this potential, make a ball out of it and throw it in the trash.

 The pace is soporific, the plot coils upon itself, and already in the second season, it’s slipping into the insipid.

Severance Season 2 starts with an intriguing concept about memory separation at work, but quickly unravels into a confused mix of horror, clichés, and weak plot. The story fails to capitalize on its premise, with dull characters and nonsensical conflict. Despite scattered thriller elements, the pacing is slow and disappointing. The reviewer finds it unworthy of a paid subscription, recommending only a free trial watch. Discover the full critique and decide if Severance Season 2 is worth your time—watch with a free trial on Apple+.
