 Many people have a teddy bear, others a scooter, still others an old sticker album: I have "The Exorcist" (and this explains many of my problems).

 Regan Theresa MacNeil remains firmly in my view at first place in the ranking of children you never ever want to have.

The review recalls the intense Parental Advisory controversy of the original airing of The Exorcist and reflects on the film's lasting impact despite some outdated horror elements. The author admires Friedkin's direction style and highlights the film's societal significance, especially the chilling presence of Regan MacNeil. The review balances nostalgia with critical insight, celebrating the movie as a personal relic and a horror milestone. Dive into this heartfelt review and rediscover why The Exorcist remains a cornerstone of horror cinema.

 Tsukamoto’s films don’t delve into the unconscious; they pave the way by leaving a crater and pull it out, show it to you, and smack you with it.

 Frenzied direction but far too grounded, never losing touch with reality despite being in a timeless limbo pervaded by a suffocating shroud.

 "White Sun, Black Sun has a decidedly 'earthy' sound, rooted in the tribal rhythmicity of the African continent."

 "In Zaire creates a granitic psychedelia enriched with blues elements, references to the kraut repetition of Neu!, noise, funk, trance, and hard-rock."

White Sun Black Sun by In Zaire blends Italian occult psychedelia with tribal African rhythms. The album evokes earthy, percussive sounds rather than cosmic themes. It features contributions from notable guitarist Stefano Pilia and explores krautrock, blues, noise, funk, and trance influences.

 Glamour has no reason to exist because I Cani are not just any band.

 Glamour is a mediocre album, and I would even go as far as to say it’s unnecessary because it’s neither here nor there.

Glamour by I Cani fails to live up to the disruptive originality that characterized their debut. While attempting a more intimate and scene-driven approach, it settles into standard electro-pop territory. The reviewer finds the album mediocre and unnecessary, noting a loss of the previous artistic edge. Some tracks retain charm, but overall the growth feels boring and uninspired. Discover if Glamour lives up to I Cani’s legacy—read the full review and decide for yourself!

 Picciotto’s voice ... remains one of the best things ever heard by the human ear.

 An album filled with great emotion, the result of a band comprised of immense talents at a key moment in their musical existence.

One Last Wish's sole 1986 album is a melodic yet raw post-hardcore landmark created by former members of Rites Of Spring. Recorded during a vibrant Washington D.C. scene, it showcases intense emotion, distorted guitars, and memorable melodies. Although similar to Rites Of Spring, the album leans towards a sharper melodic direction. Praised for Guy Picciotto's expressive vocals and the band's tight songwriting, the album remains influential, despite its delayed 1999 release. Listen to One Last Wish’s 1986 album and experience the raw emotional power of Washington D.C.'s landmark post-hardcore sound.

 The cover is powerful and the music it contains is equally so, enough for me to consider this fifth album by the glorious German formation as their best.

 Krautrock at the best of the best, a magnificent album.

Wolf City, the fifth album by Amon Düül II, is praised as their finest work, capturing the perfect balance between psychedelic experimentation and structured progressive rock.

The album is celebrated as a peak in Krautrock history, showcasing the band's artistic evolution and technical mastery. Dive into Wolf City and experience the pinnacle of Krautrock’s psychedelic and progressive power.

 What makes the film great is the moving performance of James Woods, a man who ... conveys almost unique visual expressions.

 A beautiful film that, on the one hand, makes us reflect on a very delicate subject, like drugs.

Harold Becker's 1988 film Cocaine is a gripping drama showcasing James Woods' outstanding performance as a man devastated by drug addiction. The story highlights the tragic consequences of cocaine abuse, including domestic violence and loss. Sean Young also delivers a strong role, complementing Woods. Becker directs with skill, creating a powerful and reflective movie on addiction and self-destruction. Watch Harold Becker’s Cocaine now to experience a powerful exploration of addiction and unforgettable performances.

 The sound is more mature and it shows, but the lack of big hits, crucial at the time, certainly makes the record fall short.

 1965 undoubtedly had superior musical offerings, such as Highway 61 Revisited by Dylan, My Generation by The Who, and the Beatles’ double punch Help - Rubber Soul.

Kinda Kinks, the second album by The Kinks, reflects a mature but less bold sound compared to their debut. While overshadowed by the Beatles and lacking major hits, it features strong rock and blues elements. Notable tracks include 'Look for My Baby' and 'So Long'. The album is a respectable piece within the 1960s rock music landscape. Discover The Kinks' classic sound and explore the underrated rock gems of the 60s by listening to Kinda Kinks today!

 Few actually know that at the beginning of his career, the band leaned towards a progressive/psychedelic rock typical of the late ’60s.

 The intent is to shed light on two forgotten albums, and, if they weren’t forgotten, to give a different light to these, in case the roots of a great like Alice Cooper were forgotten.

This review explores Alice Cooper's second album, Easy Action, highlighting its psychedelic and progressive rock style distinct from his later glam rock. It contextualizes the album within the rich rock landscape of 1970 and underlines its underrated status. The album offers intriguing tracks like 'Shoe Salesman' and 'Lay Down And Die, Goodbye' that showcase a different side of Cooper's artistry. The review aims to shed light on the roots of a rock legend through these early works. Discover Alice Cooper’s lesser-known psychedelic beginnings—listen to Easy Action and explore the roots of a rock icon today!

 "Nothing, and I mean nothing, in this novel is normal."

 "A mishmash of situations and parallel events at the edge of reality, seemingly disconnected, that will lead the protagonist to put together a disturbing puzzle."

This review analyzes Daniel Clowes' graphic novel 'Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron,' a surreal and disturbing story tracing a man's search for his wife through a nightmarish world. The novel blends grotesque characters, dark conspiracies, eroticism, and paranoia into a complex, unsettling narrative reminiscent of works by Paul Auster and David Lynch. It is described as a psychological thriller that challenges normalcy and explores instinctual fears. Dive into Daniel Clowes' unsettling masterpiece—explore the surreal and dark world of 'Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron' today!

 There’s nothing to complain about regarding the performance or the artistic abilities of the young Roman guy.

 The only strong track is Il Cerchio, which gives the work its title.

The review examines Simone Barotti's EP Il Cerchio and highlights his artistic talents showcased in a live theatrical performance featuring Marquez texts. While the live arrangements impressed the reviewer, the recorded EP versions felt less effective, with only the title track standing out.

 "As I listened to Una Nave Nella Foresta many doubts disappeared, and where in Eden I had only disastrous things to point out, here I save all 10 songs."

 "The whole album... best captures the power of the boys’ concerts. The majority of the tracks are straightforward, they could really seem to be live, making their essentiality their strength."

The review acknowledges Subsonica's troubled past, especially with their low-quality album Eden and internal band issues. 'Una Nave In Una Foresta' marks a strong revival with 10 solid tracks that capture the band's live power and renewed songwriting.

 There are tracks on this album that are filled with so many sounds that it’s unclear why.

 'Old Shoes'...thrives on nothing and turns out to be the best of the bunch.

Sean Rowe's 2012 album The Salesman and the Shark delivers strong songwriting and a powerful voice reminiscent of Tom Waits and Bruce Springsteen. However, the production suffers from sound saturation, with some tracks overloaded with unnecessary sounds. While this flaw becomes less distracting after multiple listens, it hampers the overall listening experience. The simpler track 'Old Shoes' stands out as the album's best. Listen to Sean Rowe's The Salesman and the Shark and discover its powerful songs despite the layered production.

 With Wildfires, the girl tries to improve and deserves credit for succeeding.
