The album stands as a powerful farewell to the idealism of the '60s with landmark tracks like "Riders on the Storm." Dive into The Doors’ final masterpiece and experience the raw blues spirit and Morrison's haunting farewell.

 This ‘This Is Who We Are’ by the Romagnoli Now.Here is a good product, at least worthy of existence and a clear example of how these guys believe in what they do and want to grow quickly.

 Set Your Goals are without a doubt their point of reference, especially in the way they appear sunny and party style.

 It will make you rethink everything around you as a visual and auditory landscape full of nullity.

The review hails Black Marble's 'A Different Arrangement' as the standout album of 2012, exploring themes of paranoia, emotional torment, and closure through cold wave electronic sounds.

 Edo has never lost his essential ingredients: irony, mockery, and (self)criticism are always present and constitute a 'trademark.'

 Enough with always talking about Bennato with a gaze directed at past masterpieces, he is always there, and his intelligence as an artist and musician is always present and has never abandoned him.

This review dispels the notion that Edoardo Bennato's career declined after his hit Sono solo canzonette.

 If these projects had been put together years ago, today we would be talking about established stars.

 At the moment the idea is that of encountering a commercially useless and personality-lacking product.

Stereo Age's EP Strong Enough, produced by Alex Fusini at Fusix Studio, exhibits solid production but heavily relies on 90s pop-punk influences. The three-track release lacks a unique identity and feels too derivative, blending elements from Green Day, New Found Glory, and A Day To Remember. While technically sound, the EP fails to leave a lasting impression or establish the band's distinct style, making it difficult to get excited about their current offering. Discover the nostalgic pop-punk vibes of Stereo Age’s Strong Enough EP and decide if it resonates with your music taste!

 Thanks to the technical growth of the individual musicians and the wise choice to produce the album independently in their own studios.

 Twelve well-crafted tracks, where the Scandinavian stylistic background proudly emerges, as well as the Spaniards’ intention to make everything even more unusual.

 "Scott Walker did it again."

 "Bish Bosch is nothing but a sonic collage, an album deliberately and intrinsically discontinuous, but which, paradoxically, finds its raison d'être in its irreverent fragmentation."

Scott Walker's Bish Bosch is a daring continuation of his experimental journey that began with Tilt and The Drift. This album delivers a fragmented, dark, and intense sonic collage rich in black humor and unsettling themes. It challenges listeners with its dissonance, intricate instrumentation, and evocative vocals. The work demands full attention but rewards with profound emotional and artistic impact. Bish Bosch stands as a fitting and impressive conclusion to Walker's avant-garde trilogy. Dive into Scott Walker's Bish Bosch and explore one of the most challenging and captivating avant-garde albums ever created.

 Yes, it’s new age music, there’s no escaping it.

 The time has come, Mr. Pianigiani will be pleased (if you are reading this, I assure you that I listened to it all, eh).

The review explores Fabio Pianigiani's 'Legno,' a new age album characterized by its blend of acoustic guitars, oriental choirs, and atmospheric natural sounds. While the concept and spiritual themes hold an important place, the music itself can feel slow and repetitive. The reviewer uses the album as background music for reading, acknowledging its niche appeal but suggesting it might test patience for some listeners. Explore Fabio Pianigiani's 'Legno' for a unique new age experience—perfect for meditation and reading sessions.

 His music has a nice relaxing and emotional streak that led me to appreciate the album.

 Every verse emerges as if dragged and suspended in the air, with such truncated pronunciation you'd wonder what makes it so sad.

 Bruno Mars actually offers an easy-listening yet well-made album, genuine in its genre and honest in its intentions.

 The biggest flaw of “The Game” is its excessive focus on an ending that has the task of explaining everything.

 Fincher once again proves to be a master in creating tension, with the most thrilling scenes being the most successful.

David Fincher's 1997 thriller The Game is a well-crafted psychological film with intense suspense and a strong directorial hand. The story engages viewers with a complex narrative culminating in a shocking but overly explained ending. While the film excels in tension and atmosphere, it lacks emotional depth common to Fincher's works. Supported by strong performances from Michael Douglas and Sean Penn, it remains an entertaining, if somewhat minor, entry in Fincher's filmography. Watch David Fincher’s The Game for a gripping thriller experience with a twist – perfect for fans of suspense and psychological drama!

 "Like, let’s grab the instruments, let’s act like jerks and something will come out" seems to be the motto of the album.
