It remained a bit empty, as if it were just the exoskeleton of one of the most known goth rock bands in the world.

 The group desperately tried to modernize the sound while trying to maintain some sort of adherence to its essence, but without succeeding too much.

The reviewer, passionate about 80s music and The Cure, finds 'Songs Of A Lost World' a technically refined album but somewhat flat and lacking memorable hooks. Despite Robert Smith’s strong vocals, the album leans too heavily on 70s and 80s synth sounds and ballads without igniting the expected spark. Some tracks stand out, such as 'Warsong' and 'Endsong,' offering moments of drama and cinematic feel. The overall impression is one of an album caught between modernization and nostalgia but not fully succeeding at either. Dive into our detailed review and listen to The Cure's latest album to decide if 'Songs Of A Lost World' resonates with your nostalgic and modern tastes!

 It starts off well, promises much, more than it delivers.

 With a more compact story and a more ‘elevated’ performance it could have been the bomb it promised to be.

Longlegs opens with a powerful and promising start, featuring well-crafted visuals and tense atmosphere. However, its plot becomes clichéd with supernatural elements that deflate enthusiasm. Nicholas Cage's portrayal is over the top, and the story feels less focused than expected. While director Oz Perkins shows skillful craftsmanship and genre knowledge, the movie ultimately serves more as a style exercise than a gripping thriller. It falls short of the high expectations set before release. Discover if Longlegs' style and scares are enough—read our in-depth review or watch now!

 The big face on the cover does not look like someone who has found the Sun again.

 Steve Lukather is a... dark musician. His voice is dark, competent and decent, but really dark.

Steve Lukather’s 2021 album 'I Found The Sun Again' delivers solid musicianship recorded swiftly with passion. The album features eight tracks including covers and originals with Toto-esque elements. However, the reviewer notes a persistent dark tone in vocals and guitar that may tire listeners. Though well-crafted, the album lacks fresh inspiration and the bright interplay found in Toto’s full lineup. Lukather’s professionalism and love for music remain evident but the album feels routine. Explore Steve Lukather’s distinct style in 'I Found The Sun Again' and decide if his dark rock vibe resonates with you!
