 It was slammed by critics at the time of its release and considered half trash even by many fans, which I believe it absolutely does not deserve.

 If one does not love Celtic music, they do not buy the album and even deplore the change in musical genre, but this does not mean they should think the band has become lousy or that it no longer knows how to play or compose.

The review argues that Deep Purple's 1973 album 'Who Do We Think We Are' is unfairly underrated, largely due to its softer and more varied musical approach. Despite critics and some fans dismissing it, the reviewer emphasizes the band's intent to explore different styles without losing their compositional skill. Key tracks like 'Woman From Tokyo' and 'Rat Bat Blue' are highlighted as standout achievements. The album should be judged within its own artistic context rather than against previous works or fan expectations. Ultimately, the review calls for fairness in assessing artistic maturity and evolution. Discover the overlooked depths of Deep Purple's 'Who Do We Think We Are'—listen now and explore a different side of classic rock legends.

 A plastic candy-like coating and a marked sonic limpness that makes even Placebo sound like Kyuss in comparison.

The review expresses mixed feelings about the Horrors' album Luminous. While acknowledging the band's evolution and belief in their music, the critic finds the album overproduced and lacking spontaneity, resulting in a sound that feels lifeless compared to their earlier work.

 In Guccini, America is little more than a pretext, and this LP can be considered the account of that experience.

 The album was mocked and fiercely spat upon by critics, shattered and burned in public.

 It is not rock music and was not even meant to be brought to stadiums; yet it gained historical nobility making it a classic among ELP’s records.

Works Volume 1 by Emerson, Lake & Palmer is a highly controversial album blending classical, jazz, and ballads rather than rock. Released in 1977 amidst the rise of punk and disco, it was harshly criticized but has since gained historical recognition. Each band member contributed distinct styles, making it a unique but divisive entry in ELP's discography. While not embraced by all fans or critics, it remains a classic with a niche appeal. Dive into the epic tale of ELP’s Works Volume 1—explore this bold, genre-blending album that redefined progressive rock’s limits.

 "Metal Machine Music represents the Rorschach test of modern music: everyone sees what they want to see."

 I have the musical embarrassment to declare that I adore this album and listen to it with the same attention I reserve for Berg’s Wozzeck.

Lou Reed's 1975 double vinyl Metal Machine Music remains a controversial and pioneering noise album that blurs the line between art and provocation. The work's extreme guitar feedback and layered noise challenge traditional music structures. Initially misunderstood, it later gained recognition as a progenitor of punk and noise genres. Despite its difficulty, it continues to inspire debate and admiration decades later. Dive into Lou Reed’s daring noise masterpiece and discover why Metal Machine Music remains a landmark in experimental sound.

 Blue Öyster Cult doesn’t like being banal, neither in musical styles nor in thematic cores of the lyrics.

 The style of the group is quite minimal and focuses all on the impact of the riffs, very inspired and in the classic melodic and hypnotic style of Finnish death.

 A different way of understanding the genre, therefore, that does not focus all on technique and sonic violence, but which has allowed for the creation of a remarkable work.

Depravity’s 1993 EP Silence of the Centuries offers five songs of classic Finnish death metal that focus on hypnotic riffs and atmospheric guitar solos. The production creates a muffled, distant mood matching the evocative cover art. Despite its brevity and the band's short lifespan, this EP captures the essence of Finland's golden death metal era.

 Aspid disbanded, no one knows when, no one knows why, without ever releasing any other works.

 Let’s delve into more detail now... the solos should have remained in the annals of metal.

Aspid's 1992 album Extravasation is a highly technical and emotive thrash metal record that remained obscure for years.

 PFM’s tribute should be seen as a nostalgic wave around De André’s figure, nothing more and nothing less.

 Going to a PFM show and listening for an hour and twenty minutes to what remain covers is at least ridiculous.

The review covers PFM’s 2014 live tribute show to Fabrizio De André at Parco Majnoni. While the band delivered an engaging performance, the setlist favored De André covers over PFM’s own material. The concert ended early due to rain, and audience reactions were mixed. The reviewer questions the artistic merit of relying on nostalgia instead of producing new work. Discover the passion and controversy in PFM’s tribute to Fabrizio De André — listen to the legacy and decide for yourself!
