"Age Of Unreason" is the new album of a project that will likely cease to exist the day humanity no longer needs to be told how much it sucks.

I want acidic sounds, indefinite distortion, the clear and classic noise, I want hardcore that rots under the bass drum. The Fury is on the level of my core-post-hardcore: a lot of noise, hoarse voice, hardcore guitars…always with that late ’90s early ’00s straight edge attitude.

"A totally negligible 1980s erotic film, as well as a rather poor acting performance." "The song 'Catherine' is beautiful, really! But it’s not enough to save a woeful and terribly predictable film."

Ultimately, it serves more as a memory trigger than a worthy cinematic experience. Discover this forgotten 80s erotic film and see if nostalgia or curiosity drives your watch!

"Flanagan doses them impeccably, with an apparently calm rhythm, alternating jumpscares with moments of false relaxation."

This “whining” is indispensable to me because in this record... are all my weaknesses, my insecurities, melancholy, sadness, my adolescence and youth.

Gloriana was generally re-evaluated positively by critics, carving out a niche in the repertoire, which I’d say is fitting for an opera of this worth and historical interest. Choices, decisions, consequences, everything passes in front of her tired eyes: this is Britten at his most inspired.

Choices, decisions, consequences, everything passes in front of her tired eyes: this is Britten at his most inspired.
Gloriana, premiered in 1953 for Queen Elizabeth II's coronation, was initially poorly received due to misplaced expectations but later gained recognition.

However, the fragmented libretto and underdeveloped characters limit its full potential. Despite its flaws, Gloriana remains an important and evocative work within Britten's repertoire. Discover the nuanced brilliance of Britten's Gloriana—listen, read, and explore this complex historical opera today!
