We are probably faced with the worst release from the Black Rebels (though not entirely terrible), if we don’t count the unnecessary and embarrassing noise/drone experiment "The Effects of 333."

 If you are a lover of band classics like "Love Burns," "Stop" and "Weapon of Choice," this album will make you nostalgic for the old days...

Released in 2010 under their independent label, 'Beat the Devil's Tattoo' sticks to Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's classic sound but fails to innovate. The album features a few strong tracks like the title song and 'War Machine,' yet many songs drag and lack freshness. Fans of earlier works may find it nostalgic but overall disappointing. The album misses the dark, desperate atmosphere that once defined the band. Explore the highs and lows of 'Beat the Devil's Tattoo'—listen and decide if it lives up to the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club legacy.

 A sparkling finale with a twist I could’ve gladly missed in favor of a nap.

The review harshly criticizes Simon Brand's 'Identità Sospette' for its incoherent storyline and annoying character portrayals.

 Now we finally have a definitive fresco that provides answers but, unfortunately, still raises questions.

 Seeing a furious John Brannon appearing between a curtain of smoke and blinding white lights is enough to make me happy.

 Farrar looks like a possessed Iggy Pop, shirtless, he throws himself to the ground, returns in the middle of the audience, throws the mic.

The review captures an intense live show featuring Ceremony, Negative Approach, Gun Outfit, and Mrs.Magician at The Echoplex.

 Brainbombs depict violence and perversion (the real kind) in the seemingly cold manner typical of Industrial groups.

 They manage to make me feel guilty, and a bit sick. Maybe that’s their genius, I don’t know.

The review explores Brainbombs' album Burning Hell, highlighting its raw, repetitive garage rock sound paired with shockingly explicit and violent lyrics. While the music maintains a monotonous yet compelling groove, the content evokes genuine discomfort and moral conflict. The band's near-anonymity and unapologetic approach amplify the disturbing impact, making the album both repellent and fascinating. The reviewer admires the musical aspect but struggles with its brutal subject matter. Dive into Brainbombs' Burning Hell to experience one of the most raw and unsettling albums in underground rock!

 This is really AN ALBUM NOT TO BUY.

 An irritating, unpleasant, cold album, with an exhausting monotony.

The review expresses strong disappointment with Hercules and Love Affair’s third album, 'The Feast Of The Broken Heart.' The critic finds the album monotonous, cold, and lacking personality, with weak vocals and uninspired production. Despite previous interest in the band, this release fails to deliver the promised aggressive and fiery sound. Overall, it is described as an exhausting and unstimulating listening experience. Read the full review and decide if Hercules and Love Affair’s latest album is worth your time or a missed beat.

 It’s a mediocre work not at the level of its predecessors but surely better than the recent 'tacky' things done by the now aging singer-songwriter.

 The only gem in a sea of low-value stuff is 'Nessun Pericolo per Te' from 1996.

The review critiques Vasco Rossi's 1985 album 'Cosa Succede in Città' as mediocre compared to his earlier work. While the lyrics are simple and uninspired, some instrumental parts, especially saxophone solos, stand out. The reviewer sees this album as a decline in creativity, with only a few tracks like 'Domani si, Adesso no' and 'Toffee' offering redeeming qualities. Discover the highs and lows of Vasco Rossi's 80s sound—listen to 'Cosa Succede in Città' and decide for yourself!

 Phargo, I discovered them about 10 minutes ago, I didn’t fall in love with them, their sound is not what I like (even though in certain parts they come close) and above all, they play EMO.

 Ignorant white noises and lo-fi under layers of distortions that evoke a wall-of.sound between the most bearable shitgaze, rarely departing from melodic vocals and even when the melody explodes, they remain anchored to a melodic voice that screams without scratching.

The review offers a thoughtful and personal perspective on Phargo's 'Rende's,' highlighting its emo style characterized by lo-fi, melodic vocals and layered distortions. The reviewer does not fully embrace the band but appreciates certain emotional qualities in the music. There is also reflection on the broader emo genre and its emotional expression. Listen to Phargo's 'Rende's' for a rich, emotional emo journey—explore its textured soundscapes now!

 "Paralyzed Mind of the Archangel Void is not the soundtrack of a hallucinatory movie; it is the movie itself."

 It is total improvisation, but without exceeding in onanistic experimentalism.

The review situates Harmony Rockets' Paralyzed Mind of the Archangel Void as a 1995 side project of Mercury Rev during a pivotal transitional period. It is a live 40-minute improvised jam merging krautrock and free-jazz with psychedelic avant-garde elements. The album serves as a cosmic, hypnotic journey that moves away from Mercury Rev’s earlier noisy psychedelia and later dreamy pop styles. Although challenging and unconventional, it offers a unique auditory experience that resists easy categorization. Dive into the cosmic improvisation of Harmony Rockets and experience a psychedelic journey like no other.

 Poltergeist is an IDIOTIC film, a completely IDIOTIC film, where it definitively kicks off the trend of stupid American families.

 The mother opening a room’s door, demons scream at her and she closes the door apologizing. I jumped out of my seat back then!!!

This review harshly criticizes Poltergeist for its outdated and foolish portrayal of American families facing paranormal events, weighed down by Spielberg’s overly sweet direction. Despite its idiotic plot and absurd dialogue, the film remains a genre pioneer with memorable special effects and scenes. The reviewer finds it frustrating but acknowledges its influence on later horror films. Dive into this sharp critique of Poltergeist—discover why it’s both iconic and flawed, and decide for yourself if it still haunts the genre.

 The dad, at the crucial moment, gets up, grabs his iPhone, and takes off, leaving the mother with the two little ones in her arms, visibly frightened and shaken.

 This film has the huge flaw of being an internal journey as useful as a conversation that goes in one ear and out the other.

The review discusses Ruben Östlund's Forza Maggiore as a film set during a snowy mountain vacation which exposes underlying tensions in a couple. It highlights a pivotal avalanche incident revealing family dynamics and gender roles. Despite strong acting and beautiful imagery, the reviewer finds the narrative somewhat ineffective and repetitive. The film reflects generational male behavior but struggles to fully engage emotionally. Overall, it is a thought-provoking yet challenging watch. Discover the complexities of Forza Maggiore and explore its chilling take on family and gender dynamics—watch or read more now!

 The song is catchy and well-played, although with a rather banal text.

 The music video is as clichéed as it gets... just a small step would do!

Otto Ohm's latest single encapsulates the band's signature sound with catchy melodies and strong vocals. However, the lyrics are seen as banal despite some interesting word choices. The clichéd music video further limits the band's visibility. Despite their evident artistic qualities, the group remains underrecognized after years of effort. Listen to Otto Ohm's latest single and explore their unique sound despite its flaws.

 A splendid and very bitter portrait of a pioneer of the current little-letter girls-dolls-tramps who, 50 years later, still flit between luxury, money, and power.

 The film, which lasts 125 minutes, is at times quite entertaining but is also ruthlessly cynical and pushes to the threshold of the grotesque with some rather... psychedelic sequences.

I Knew Her Well is Antonio Pietrangeli’s acclaimed 1965 film that captures the bittersweet story of Adriana, a naive girl chasing dreams in Rome.

 This album is a pocket. Sometimes it’s useful, sometimes it doesn’t matter if it’s there or not.

Minor Alps' debut album 'Get There' offers a warm, atmospheric indie experience built around vocals and minimal acoustic sounds. The reviewer acknowledges the album's subtle charms but also finds some tracks rhetorically carefree and occasionally indifferent. Overall, the album is described as a useful but not essential listen, evoking a pocket-like presence in one's music collection. Listen to Minor Alps' 'Get There' for a warm, atmospheric indie experience with subtle acoustic charm.

 The voice is precisely the extra touch: warm and at the same time detached, slightly husky and luscious.

 'My Dreams Dictate My Reality' is an homage to her loves, towards bands like The Cure or the B-52’s; viewed in this light, it’s a joy to listen to.

 The special effects are indeed elementary, but their rudimentary artisanal charm makes them genuine and in their own way effective and coherent.

 Crude and bizarre, imaginative and naive, Flash Gordon is a cult in its own way.

Flash Gordon (1980) is a flawed yet strangely captivating sci-fi film marked by rudimentary special effects, impressive sets and costumes, and a campy script. While the direction and characters feel clichéd and often ridiculous, the film's baroque charm and genuine silliness give it cult appeal. Max Von Sydow’s portrayal of Ming the Merciless stands out amidst caricatured roles. Despite its shortcomings, it reflects a lost era of filmmaking that remains visually imaginative and nostalgically entertaining. Discover the charm and kitsch of Flash Gordon—watch the cult classic and explore its unique style!
