Their unmistakable guitar sound, the unique timbre of Markus Acher’s small voice, so sweet you never want to stop listening to it. Shrink however reaches its peak with the eponymous song, which I had to listen to about thirty times to be sure that such a beautiful song could exist.

This review critiques Snapcase’s album End Transmission as a disappointing and uninspired departure from their acclaimed 1993 debut, Lookinglasself. The album lacks the band’s signature explosive riffs and power, failing to engage or deliver the aggression fans expect. The reviewer warns that the hardcore scene faces a crisis, with Victory Records producing few strong acts recently. Bands like Raised Fist or Speak are noted as hopeful exceptions. Discover why Snapcase’s End Transmission disappointed hardcore fans and explore what the future holds for the scene.
The new album seems to be a child of the "club culture" and all that whirlwind of styles and tastes encountered, precisely, in clubs. The lack of a connective thread and the coexistence of such heterogeneous styles may not appeal to the "purists" and might leave one disoriented.

Terranova's second album marks a clear stylistic shift from their debut, embracing an eclectic mix of electronic subgenres inspired by club culture. While this diversity creates a vibrant and impactful soundscape, it also lacks the cohesive thread that characterized their earlier trip-hop influenced work. Fans of pure electronic styles may find the broad variety both a strength and a limitation. Overall, the album represents a bold but somewhat uncertain musical evolution. Listen to Terranova's genre-blending album and dive into the vibrant world of early 2000s electronic exploration!

Turbonegro didn’t invent anything new, but this should not affect the listening of this work, which should be placed among the masterpieces of the genre.

If it weren’t too banal, one could define it as an 'old new album,' or, if you prefer, a 'new old album.' But beware: it doesn’t feel old! A long, complex, and refined album suitable for both the more advanced listener and the newcomer to the field.

This is my review, I’m not joking, a record NOT to buy, it only contains old stuff in 12" versions at most... If you don’t know them, and you liked the last Get Ready, it might make sense to buy it, but even then, Substance 1987 is a better choice.

The reviewer criticizes New Order's International album for mainly featuring old tracks in 12" versions. They recommend previous compilations like Substance 1987 instead. Only newcomers or fans of Get Ready might consider it. Read the full review to learn why New Order’s International may not be the best pick and explore better alternatives!
Vanhamel tells stories and personal situations, but does so in a 'universal' way: he takes you into his world and makes you believe you are him, but you are not him, you are yourself in the same stories and situations. "OTSF" is a decidedly unique album, which can either be very appealing or absolutely repulsive to those who listen, but - in my view - there is no middle ground.

For those who don’t know them, just listen to "Rocket" to fall in love with them. The difference between them and all the other bands that do this genre is definitely the use of the violin in almost every track.

The deus ex machina returns in all his splendor. With his arrogance, with his poetry, with his Pollock-style paintings, and with his Gibson Les Paul! Sometimes he disguises it instead, as in the first track, Joe Louis.
