 The works with him are easy listening to me, and attention is always alive, in this latest album, already from the second track, it becomes annoying.

 They tried to create something different from the previous works but fell into banality, indeed it is quite a boring composition.

The review expresses disappointment in Soft Machine's 1973 album Seven, citing a lack of creativity and repetitive bass loops. The absence of original member Wyatt is seen as a major factor in the decline. Despite its fusion style and experimental ambitions, the album is considered boring and less engaging than earlier works. The reviewer respects the band's legacy but finds this release uninspired. Explore Soft Machine's legacy and decide if Seven's experimental fusion resonates with you.

 "Cone of Shame" is probably one of the best songs ever appeared on a Faith No More album.

 At this point, I think you should already be on NME listening to this work (of art? probably yes).

Faith No More's Sol Invictus marks a successful comeback after 18 years, showcasing diverse styles and maintaining the band's experimental edge. Despite initial doubts, the album impresses with catchy tracks and strong performances, especially from Mike Patton and the keyboardist Bottum.

 A kaleidoscopic darkness has descended on the brightness of Scuba, aka Paul Rose.

 A darkness cast over a very powerful light, difficult to suffocate, generating a clash with uncertain outcomes.

 A few notes with a truly pleasant effect.

 The voice is highly irritating, it never has a change in tone, too calm, too crystal clear.

Robben Ford's 2013 album Bringing It Back Home offers excellent jazz guitar and instrumental solos with a prominent bass and saxophone presence. The calm, unvarying vocal tone and largely steady rhythm make the album somewhat monotonous over its 49-minute duration. The third track, Fair Child, introduces a refreshing upbeat change, but the rest remains consistently mellow. The reviewer appreciates the musicianship but finds the album less engaging overall. Discover Robben Ford’s skilled guitar jazz—listen to Bringing It Back Home and experience its soothing instrumental beauty.

 Nomadi gathered all these influences, mixed them with their skill as honest craftsmen, and what emerged was an album they probably didn’t even initially think of themselves.

 The 90s probably saw the best formation of the Nomadi... with Daniele Campani a true pneumatic hammer, Cico Falzone... Elisa Minari giving the ensemble a breath of fresh air.

 You could say anything, except that you’re facing a production of this kind.

 The production of the sounds has been reduced to a minimum, thus offering a work that is generally aggressive in its progression.

Mooth's Slow Sun defies sludge-rock labels, leaning more towards noise-rock with nervous guitars and unpredictable rhythms. The album offers gritty, aggressive progressions and reflective, ironic lyrics. Though interesting and energetic, it somewhat lacks a distinct artistic soul to stand out fully. Recommended for fans of the noise-rock genre. Listen to Mooth's Slow Sun for a gritty and unpredictable noise-rock experience.

 Nightcrawler is a film about the character, above all.

 No drop in pace, no lapses in style, no excessive predictability. Simply a blend of very dark and murky colors, a ton of scenes that pumped me up, and a damn good direction.

 The album opens with the perfect single "Junk of the Heart (Happy)", you listen to it twice, you sing it all week.

 The brilliant closing with "Mr Nice Guy" with a tribute (or perhaps plagiarism?) to the Beatles’ "Twist and Shout" leave us imagining a future marked by continuity but perhaps with a hint of modernity.

Junk of the Heart marks a return to form for The Kooks after a weaker second album. Produced by Tony Hoffer, the album features polished, retro-inspired melodies and strong vocal performances by Luke Pritchard. Standout tracks like "Junk of the Heart (Happy)" and "Time Above The Earth" showcase the band's catchy yet sophisticated style.

 This CD represents the emblem of the dissolution of a Human dream into a Divine ether and therefore the passing of the baton from an ideological attitude to a mystical one.

 That cry "The modern initiate is over... Citizens" is the musical transposition of Munch’s scream; "Look, Sofia, look at life flying away".
