 "Eric Johnson from Austin, Texas, at the tender age of just sixteen, in what is described as one of the most surprising hard-blues experiences across the American landscape."

 "This record is a 'stream of consciousness'... but one thing is certain, it places at its center the astonishing technical skill of its young guitarist."

 "Random Access Memories is boring, sluggish, self-referential, dull, useless, empty, pretentious, unpleasant, sterile, bland, indigestible, amateurish, annoying, arrogant, stupid, and banal."

 "The album is musically poor, lacking ideas and banal, packaged specifically to satisfy the most diverse listeners, to be blasted on the radio, and to make the most superficial listener cry masterpiece."

 Time and its passing become for Niccol the money of our days.

 The film is watchable for its good rhythm, but it possesses too many derivative aspects.

Andrew Niccol's In Time presents a unique dystopian concept where life-span is currency. Despite its strong premise and good pacing, weak performances and a diluted screenplay hold it back. The film struggles to maintain Niccol's signature style, ending up as an average action movie with some original moments but too many derivative elements. Explore the unique world of In Time — watch the film and decide if its concept is worth the watch!

 A 'jungle' of emotions, colors, and sensations, and listening to it in bed gave me a sense of peace at times that is hard to find in the noise of today’s music.

 The spectator... is forced to lose, each time, the reference to the 'track title'... a word repeated obsessively sheds its meaning to become a mere sound occurrence.

 In the finale, the holocaust of feedback celebrates the success of such demolition... someone covers their ears or, exhausted, retreats to the corners.

This review explores My Bloody Valentine's live concert in Rome as an avant-garde sonic event where traditional audience roles dissolve. The band subverts the usual structure by eroding the identity of tracks and focusing on sound as a fleeting, immersive presence. The performance culminates in a chaotic feedback finale, symbolizing both destruction and expansion of the music space. Audience reaction ranges from frustration to retreat, emphasizing the challenging nature of the experience. Discover the raw intensity of My Bloody Valentine's live noise experiment—listen and feel the sound reshaped live!

 The newborn from the Bodom house appears disoriented and uncertain, and its parents have attempted to cover these deficiencies with a bombastic title and production.

 What innovation there is gets drowned in a sea of confusion and stylistic derivation, as if the group were undecided whether to play 'new' or 'old-school', and fails even to find an ideal point of mediation.
