This CD made me 're-evaluate' many artists and many things; for example, Danti, Vacca, and autotuned choruses.

 The downside of the CD is that the songs are not memorable enough, and in a few years, we will forget about the CD.

The review discusses Mondo Marcio’s album ‘Cose dell'altro mondo’, highlighting strong intros, notable collaborations with Danti and Caparezza, and interesting autotune use. Some tracks fall short due to unmemorable beats and less impressive guest verses like Emis Killa’s. Overall, it’s a solid album that challenges the reviewer’s biases and reflects Marcio’s growth, though it might lack lasting impact. Discover Mondo Marcio’s evolving sound and dive into the standout tracks of ‘Cose dell'altro mondo’—listen now and rethink your rap favorites!

 The story itself fails to take off, leaving one more than once puzzled due to an evident lack of depth.

 The real weak point of Macdonald’s work is the use of the historical vehicle as a critique of today’s society, which appears decidedly out of place and too ethically biased.

Kevin Macdonald's 'The Eagle' tries to recount a Roman legion's lost honor but falls short due to a weak and shallow story. Despite beautiful locations and some technical merits, the film is bogged down by a clichéd and ethically biased critique of Western civilization. The narrative unravels especially in the second half, failing to engage or deliver meaningful impact. Overall, it is a disappointing historical epic lacking originality. Read the full review and decide if 'The Eagle' is worth your watch or just a disappointing historical drama.

 The atmospheres created by the good Roy perfectly recall those of rainy days. Cold, gray, and somewhat melancholic atmospheres.

 It will take you at most 50 minutes and could open up a world for you.

The review praises Roy Montgomery's solo album as a standout psychedelic and instrumental work marked by minimalism and atmospheric soundscapes. It captures the essence of rainy days through evocative guitar and effects. The album is highlighted as a masterpiece, ideal for immersive listening and personal interpretation. Listen to Roy Montgomery's evocative album and immerse yourself in a rainy psychedelic sound journey today!

 The three albums have little in common with each other, perhaps musically the second and the third, but the song lyrics belong to three different phases in Smith’s life.

 No smoke machines, no strange faces (those times are past) but many emotions not necessarily plastic but sincere.

This review covers The Cure's 'Trilogy' live DVD, featuring a concert at Berlin's Tempodrom performing songs from Pornography, Disintegration, and Bloodflowers. The reviewer highlights the emotional depth and distinct phases in Robert Smith's songwriting, praising the musicians' performance and production quality.

 I call him James 'the whiner' now.

 You CAN'T AFFORD a solo album like this.

This review harshly criticizes James LaBrie's solo album 'Elements of Persuasion.' While praising LaBrie's iconic voice with Dream Theater, the reviewer feels the solo work is disappointing, repetitive, and unworthy of such a talented frontman. The album fails to meet expectations and is described as indecent for an artist of his caliber. Discover why James LaBrie's solo album sparks such debate—listen now and decide for yourself!

 An apparent simplicity that hides complexity.

 Porcupine Tree is a band that took the romantic prog and developed their own modern version not too far from the legendary pioneering bands.

The review praises Porcupine Tree's album In Absentia as a modern prog rock gem, highlighting Steven Wilson's masterful composition and Gavin Harrison's distinctive drumming. The album balances apparent simplicity with deep musical complexity. Key tracks like 'Blackest Eyes,' 'Prodigal,' and 'Heartattack in a Layby' stand out for their arrangement and emotional depth. The reviewer relates the album to a daisy—a symbol of complex simplicity—and warmly recommends it. Dive into Porcupine Tree's In Absentia and experience prog rock's perfect blend of complexity and beauty today!

 Béla Tarr’s cinema is one that transcends: it transcends space and transcends time, and yet it remains still, true to itself, black and white, like a tango without music, honest.

 What they build and what they will build, what they do and what they will do is only deceit and lies. What they think and what they will think is ridiculous. They think because they are afraid. And those who are afraid know nothing.

This review praises Béla Tarr's Werckmeister Harmonies as a transcendent cinematic work that confronts human pain, existential despair, and societal illusions. Set in a bleak Hungarian village, the film uses stark black-and-white imagery and philosophical narrative to explore themes of fear, rationality, and truth. The reviewer highlights the film’s misanthropic yet vital message urging humanity’s awakening. Tarr's cinema is described as both an artistic and emotional effort, inviting viewers to face uncomfortable realities to rediscover authentic existence. Dive into the haunting world of Werckmeister Harmonies and experience Béla Tarr’s powerful cinema of truth and pain.

 "That four-letter word... was truly the cry of a generation that had had enough, of that inexplicable idiotic Indochinese massacre."

 "Minutes to spend succumbing to the fabulous acid visions of a 'Pat’s Song'... where her smile will color the sky."

This review vividly captures the defiant spirit of Country Joe and The Fish's debut album 'I Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die.' The album embodies the 1967 counterculture, blending sarcastic political protest with psychedelic folk-rock. Highlights include the iconic anti-war anthem that became an emblem of its era, while deeper cuts explore themes of love, disillusionment, and musical innovation. The review reflects on the album’s lasting historical and musical significance. Listen to the timeless protest and psychedelic sound of Country Joe and The Fish’s debut album and experience the spirit of ’67.

 Nightglory oozes sensuality, elegance, and class from every pore, but deprives us of the more experimental and menacing aspect of the Emilian formation.

 The songs of Nightglory are potential chart hits that, if not labeled as Kirlian Camera, would quite sadden me, despite their admirable craftsmanship.

Kirlian Camera’s album Nightglory marks a clear departure from their industrial roots toward accessible, synth-pop sounds with standout vocals by Elena Alice Fossi. While professionally crafted and elegant, the album feels predictable and overly polished, lacking the experimental and darker elements that characterized the band's earlier work. New guitar contributions add texture, and notable covers add dramatic flair. Despite its quality, Nightglory may leave longtime fans wanting more innovation. Discover Kirlian Camera’s Nightglory and explore their elegant yet approachable synth-pop journey.

 Prison Bound is indeed the launching pad for what Social D would become up to the present day: an unrepeatable fusion of melodic California-made punk and the best of American music.

 An indispensable album, if one wants to understand and delve into the history of a unique group.

Prison Bound marks Mike Ness's triumphant return after personal hardships, blending punk rock with American country influences. The album serves as a pivotal moment for Social Distortion, showcasing their raw yet melodic style. Despite lo-fi production, the songwriting and emotional depth solidify their legendary status. This work bridges their early punk roots with a more mature and personal sound. Explore the iconic blend of punk and country in Social Distortion's Prison Bound—listen now to experience a legendary comeback!

 Killer Joe? Major film: bad, ignorant, raw, deep, sweet, ruthless, grotesque, shot with the experience of someone who has been making movies for 46 years.

 Friedkin may not always hit the mark, but when he wants to punch you in the stomach, he does it so hard that: you vomit, and he gets censored for 25 years.

Killer Joe is a tough, raw, and ruthless film by William Friedkin, adapted from a Pulitzer-winning play. Matthew McConaughey delivers a strong performance in a gritty Texas crime story. The film explores themes of evil through brutal and unsettling narrative choices. Despite its harshness and limited theatrical release, it stands as a major, impactful work in Friedkin's career. The reviewer highlights both the film's disturbing nature and its depth. Discover the raw intensity of Killer Joe—watch or read more to experience Friedkin’s powerful vision and McConaughey’s gripping role.

 I find myself fully legitimized to praise (OUT LOUD) this album of very light swing-pop (jazzy), inlaid with lyrics that can only be a joke.

 It’s a pleasure to listen to Sergio Caputo, with a cocktail in hand, reclining in an armchair with feet on the table, a sauce stain on the tank top, and a grin of satisfaction printed on his face.

The review praises Sergio Caputo's album 'Un sabato italiano' for its light, jazzy swing-pop style full of simple, ironic lyrics. It contrasts the album’s joyful and playful mood against heavy or serious music genres. The reviewer enjoys the relaxing and unpretentious vibe evoked by the album, presenting it as an antidote to overly serious or sad music tastes. Ultimately, it is applauded as a fun, lounge bar soundtrack perfect for casual listening. Enjoy the playful swing-pop charm of Sergio Caputo's 'Un sabato italiano'—listen now and relax with its witty, joyful tunes!

 Foxygen, or how I learned to stop worrying about trends and love rock’n’roll.

 The album is a perfect example of how in 2013 one can still draw heavily from a bygone era without ever falling into the already heard.

Foxygen’s 2013 album 'We Are The 21st Century Ambassadors Of Peace & Magic' combines 60s psychedelia with modern indie rock. The album evokes influences from Syd Barrett, MGMT, and Velvet Underground. It stands out as a fresh breath of rock nostalgia while avoiding cliché trends. The duo skillfully blends homage with originality, especially in tracks like 'No Destruction' and 'Oh No 2'. Listen to Foxygen's fresh take on 60s psychedelic rock and explore their timeless indie vibes now!

 After thirty years, Bauhaus are still the best of their genre.

 I was incredibly moved by this slow and atmospheric piece.

This review covers Bauhaus’s 1998 reunion concert DVD 'Gotham,' highlighting the band's gothic and punk roots. Peter Murphy’s presence and key songs like 'Hollow Hills' and 'Bela Lugosi’s Dead' are praised. The reviewer emphasizes the perfect sounds, energy, and stage presence. It's a must-have for Gothic music fans and captures a dreamlike era in the genre’s history. Watch Bauhaus's legendary Gotham concert DVD and experience the pinnacle of Gothic rock live!

 A clumsy caricature of Napoleon on the cover prompted me to buy this album, leading to the discovery of an American band from the nineties that delves into an accessible folk rock.

 A band that is always pleasant to listen to...nothing more.

Bluerunners' The Chateau Chuck is a 90s American folk rock album with a distinctive accordion sound and Dylan-esque influences. The album features a mix of tribal rhythms, grunge harmonies, and dreamy folk-rock melodies. While pleasant and accessible, the album lacks standout moments or 'fireworks.' It's an enjoyable listen but ultimately not groundbreaking. Listen to Bluerunners' The Chateau Chuck and explore a soothing blend of folk rock and accordion-driven melodies from the 90s.

 This album proves that Edoardo Bennato is the greatest rock star we have in Italy.

 Rock seeps from every pore, sweat, and tears; great tension also for another classic 'in fila per tre', revisited with a rock twist but without overwhelming the basic structure of the song.

Edoardo Bennato's 'Edoardo Live' confirms his status as Italy's greatest rock star, delivering energetic live performances with masterful musicianship. The album features rock-infused versions of classics and unreleased tracks, all performed with intense passion. Highlights include a notable guitar solo by Luciano Ninzatti. This live album is essential for both fans and newcomers to Italian rock. Discover the electrifying energy of Edoardo Bennato's live performances – listen to 'Edoardo Live' today!

 This concert, in my opinion, is the manifesto of Gothic.

 Siouxsie is its queen, and with her voice, she takes you into the vampiric heart of cold England of those years.

This review covers the 1983 live VHS 'Nocturne' by Siouxsie And The Banshees, capturing their seminal Gothic rock sound and atmosphere. Featuring Robert Smith on guitar, the concert at Royal Albert Hall is praised as a musical manifesto for the Goth movement. The reviewer emphasizes the raw, evocative performance and the band's influential role in the 80s music scene. Discover the haunting power of Siouxsie And The Banshees' Nocturne—watch, listen, and feel the pulse of true Gothic rock history.

 Tarantino is no longer the one from Pulp Fiction. He is a director who knows his craft, period.

 The dialogues no longer surprise, the referentiality feels stale and too often masks an underlying emptiness detectable in the film’s moral that racism is a bad thing (no kidding).

The review acknowledges Quentin Tarantino as a skilled director who delivers an enjoyable blockbuster with Django Unchained. It critiques the film for lacking originality, relying heavily on verbose dialogue, familiar references, and a predictable plot. While the movie has strong elements like its anti-racism message and acting performances, it ultimately feels formulaic and less impactful compared to Tarantino's earlier works. The reviewer sees it as a solid but muddled film that caters to fans aware of Tarantino’s aesthetic. Explore our detailed review and discover whether Django Unchained lives up to the Tarantino legend!

 Like the noise of a heart in constant fibrillation, an unnatural and incessant continuous beat.

 An incredible magma of anguish slides heavily from your head down to your stomach.

Rapoon's The Kirghiz Light is a deeply unsettling yet compelling electronic album. It evokes a continuous tension and anguish likened to a heart in fibrillation, creating a dark and comatose soundscape. The reviewer describes the listening experience as disturbing but addictive, highlighting the album's intense emotional depth. Despite its challenging nature, it is praised as masterful electronic music. Dive into Rapoon's The Kirghiz Light and experience an intense journey through dark electronic soundscapes.

 It’s a shame that in a singing street vendor there is nothing extraordinary, so the interest that an average person should have in this video clip should be equivalent to that for a silent Super 8 film depicting a math lesson.

 The continuous call to the American myth operated by successful tune-makers... will tend to make us forget the superstructure that sets the rules, conditioning our lives and excluding social criticism.

This review analyzes the viral rise of Muhammad Shahid Nazir, aka One Pound Fish Man, whose catchy market chant became an international hit after a viral video. While the tune itself is simple and rooted in traditional street vending, its success highlights Western fascination with novelty and the myth of the self-made immigrant success story. The review critically questions the validity of the American Dream today, emphasizing structural social and economic barriers that limit real social mobility despite such sensational cases. Ultimately, it calls into question the hype surrounding viral sensations as reflections of broader social realities. Discover the story behind One Pound Fish and explore the viral phenomenon that sparked a conversation about social myths and music marketing.
