 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.

This review explores Supertramp's 1987 album Free as a Bird, marking the band's declining phase after Roger Hodgson's departure. While the album offers pleasant moments and competent performances, it lacks the inspiration and distinctiveness of their earlier masterpieces. Tracks like 'Not the Moment' stand out, but many songs fall flat or feel uninspired. Ultimately, the album is deemed respectable but overshadowed by the band's golden era. Discover Supertramp’s evolving sound in Free as a Bird—listen now and explore their post-Hodgson era.

 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 album combines sparse tribal rhythms with massive basslines and reverb, evoking a dark and narcotic atmosphere. Remixes by T++ and Mordant Music contrast significantly with the originals, adding hard grooves and unstable, hallucinatory styles. This release is praised for its raw, bodily impact and continuation of bold dub experiments. Explore Shackleton’s fiery dubstep journey—listen now and dive into raw bass and tribal rhythms!

 It’s a way of making culture invisibly sublime, an other intelligence, don’t worry if it doesn’t entertain you, it’s not for everyone.

 The essence of the album: to reiterate that rock can move forward without frills and lace, with a hard yet seductive voice and well-sharpened electric guitars.

 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+.

 The strength of the film lies in its screenplay, which is simple and effective in revealing the hypocrisies of a facade inclusion.

 These difficulties are easily overcome by the film, showing us the true face of one of the many American fallacies that, unfortunately, many still believe in.

It handles delicate topics with tact, intelligent dialogue, and subtle humor. The reviewer relates these themes to personal experiences dealing with privilege and the complexities of social identity politics. Explore American Fiction to uncover its sharp and subtle commentary on race and inclusion in modern America.

 This Skyscraper is technically impeccable, excellently constructed, but inevitably lacks the magic of the beginnings.

 More interesting atmospheres and rougher sounds, less cabaret sound, although undoubtedly classy and finely crafted, would have been more intriguing.

David Lee Roth's 1988 album Skyscraper offers polished technical performances and pop rock melodies but lacks the raw energy that defined his Van Halen days. With top-tier musicians like Steve Vai and Billy Sheehan, the album is impeccably crafted yet feels somewhat overly refined and emotionally distant. Despite solid singles and strong sales, it struggles to match the groundbreaking magic of his earlier work with Van Halen. Discover the refined sound of Skyscraper and compare David Lee Roth’s solo brilliance to his Van Halen legacy.

 Busi’s vital force stands out beyond a facade autobiography and illuminates the will to intervene for a change of paradigms that brings us closer to truth.
