The impetuousness and anger of the past haven’t disappeared; they’ve just changed shape and adapted to the passage of time. Via delle Girandole 10 is a very personal album both for the choice of content and the way it is treated, at times confidential, probably autobiographical but more than anything true and sincere.

"Stone Sour are NOT the dull and uninspired copy of Slipknot; in fact, they sometimes present sound nuances that are even more interesting than the 'cousin' band."

Sully is the fully successful version of American Sniper: though they appear very different, both films tell the same story, which is evidently very dear to the octogenarian director. It’s always about the numbers of lives, saved or taken; from a very cynical point of view, they are both aces at what they do.

A maybe rotten but sincere smile is worth much more than a thousand twisted words. Semi-acoustic sounds relax on a veranda under the sun. Alcohol, drowsy melodies, and uneven tempos.

The guitars are almost always razor-sharp, at times almost brushing the boundaries of punk tout-court. A good debut from VANT, perhaps not very original but fresh and full of good ideas.

This review explores the debut album by Flash, a band featuring former Yes members Peter Banks and Tony Kaye. The sound closely resembles Yes's style, especially in tracks like 'Small Beginnings.'

Ultimately, Flash, despite their talent, did not achieve lasting success, likely due to circumstances beyond just musical ability.

The album demonstrates the band’s desire to overcome the limits of the initial folk production to develop an opening towards a folk-rock with a vaguely progressive flavor. Rick Wakeman is a great musician, but he needs to be restrained… This piece is attributed with a great psychedelic vein, and at times I must indeed agree, but the final result, in my opinion, is uncertain.
