 The rest is pretty flat. Especially the vocal part. A pity.

 For those who have never listened to Def Leppard, dust off 'Pyromania' (1983), 'Hysteria' (1987), and 'Adrenalize' (1992).

Def Leppard's 2006 album 'Yeah!' is a cover project that did not meet fan expectations. While some tracks like '20th Century Boy' and '10538 Overture' show strong execution, the album overall feels flat and lacking original energy. The vocals especially fall short compared to the band's classic style. Fans are encouraged to revisit earlier Def Leppard albums instead. Listen to Def Leppard's classics and explore their style beyond the 'Yeah!' cover album.

 This album, released in the 90s, collects some of his greatest hits including "teorema," which is one of the most famous songs in his repertoire.

Influenced by Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music, the album challenges traditional listening with repetitive, evolving rhythms that evoke shamanic rituals.

 Soen sounds like Tool but with a different moniker.

 The music contained within, though clearly reminiscent of the often-cited band, is decidedly engaging, 'studied,' dark, polished, and perfect in every little detail.

Soen's debut album Cognitive draws strong comparisons to Tool but delivers a polished, engaging, and expertly crafted prog metal experience. Featuring talents like Martin Lopez and Steve Di Giorgio, the album balances familiar influences with its own dark atmospheres. Despite sounding like a 'clone,' the quality of music and execution earns it high praise. The tracks are varied and mood-rich, making the album effortlessly listenable. Discover Soen’s Cognitive – listen now to experience a polished prog metal album blending familiar influences with unique dark moods.

 Ted demonstrates a dismal inconsistency not only on a narrative level but also on a purely comedic level.

 A veneer of flashy wickedness, some harmless quirks, the coolness ensured by the timely citation of some current event... and there you have the comedic genius of the 2000s (and 2010s).

The review criticizes Ted as a derivative and unoriginal work, essentially a long Family Guy episode stretched into a movie. It highlights predictable jokes, shallow narrative, and overused vulgar humor. The film lacks consistency both narratively and comedically, offering forgettable laughs and banal sentimental elements. The reviewer questions the widespread praise for MacFarlane's work, attributing it to a resonance with contemporary youth culture rather than genuine quality. Discover why Ted struggles beyond its surface laughs—read the full review and explore Seth MacFarlane’s controversial comedy style.

 Here the Great White offer the best of the best available around.

 If the previous album turned out to be yet another flop, the P.O.D. of "Murdered Love" instead return to being the ones we listened to on albums like "The Fundamental Elements of Southtown" and "Satellite," but played a bit worse.

 The general feeling is that of facing a band that, when asked "Are they alive or dead?" reacts with a timid raised hand, not with an energetic response like "Hell yeah, we're here!"

P.O.D. is often remembered for their early 2000s hits like "Youth of the Nation." Their album "Murdered Love" attempts to recapture the magic of past successes but falls short with underwhelming tracks and missed potential. Some songs stand out, notably the single "Lost in Forever," the ballad "Beautiful," and the collaboration with Cypress Hill on "West Coast Rock Steady." Overall, the album feels like a hesitant step rather than a confident comeback. Discover P.O.D.'s latest efforts and explore the standouts in Murdered Love – listen now and decide if the band’s back in action!

 A few months before he died, Jimi received a visit from Miles Davis, who brought him some scores to 'listen to' in view of a possible collaboration.

 After repeated listens, one senses a lack of creativity in arranging Jimi’s pieces in a jazz/orchestral form.

This 1974 album by Gil Evans Orchestra pays homage to Jimi Hendrix, reflecting on a missed collaboration that never came to be. While standout tracks like 'Crosstown Traffic' and 'Voodoo Chile' shine, much of the album lacks creative jazz arrangements and often stays close to the originals. The reviewer views the album as a mixed bag, not fully achieving the dynamic blend that Hendrix and Miles Davis might have created together. Listen to Gil Evans Orchestra’s tribute to Jimi Hendrix and discover jazz fusion’s intriguing 'what if' moment.

 "The album delights us immediately with 'Supremacy', a cover of the old Muse, in which you can hear Bellamy’s sampled falsetto only at the end."

 "The last two tracks ('Unsustainable' and 'Isolated System') are instrumental tracks that, due to the absence of excessive nonsense, are unjustly considered the most beautiful tracks on the album."

This review of Muse's 'The 2nd Law' uses humor and absurdity to examine the album's tracks and lineup changes. It highlights bizarre covers and unexpected guest appearances with a sarcastic edge, praising some instrumentals while criticizing others. Despite its playful style, the review points to a mixed reception overall. Dive into this quirky take on Muse's The 2nd Law - listen and decide if the album’s wild spirit speaks to you!

 The lyrics are undoubtedly the vital core of this album, performed with the right amount of anger and abundant use of chants to further amplify the messages being sent.

 Musically, the quintet has made a significant leap forward, erecting a sonic wall from which it’s difficult to escape and which will prove its worth especially in live settings.

 This is a masterpiece, but I cannot describe it to you, not this intimacy, I can’t. Listen, gentlemen, listen and annihilate yourselves...

 The leader Brent Smith confirms his excellent vocal skills in most of the tracks.

 In an increasingly ‘plastic’ and similar-to-itself rock scene, the performance of Shinedown proves to be satisfying and at the same time open to a very wide audience.

Shinedown’s double live album ‘Somewhere In The Stratosphere’ captures strong performances both electric and acoustic, showcasing the band's vocal prowess and diverse sound. Key tracks include the rare 'Diamond Eyes' and a heartfelt 'Simple Man' cover. The album offers a solid overview of their work but suffers from limited availability and high prices in Europe.
