Travelling presents itself as the perfect continuation of Tourism, yet it struggles to reach the adequacy surpassed by Charm School.

 With this Travelling Roxette has taken an unnecessary step backward, not quite in line with the commendable recovery of Charm School.

Roxette's Travelling compiles unreleased tracks, rarities, and live recordings spanning their recent years, aiming to rekindle their legacy. Despite this intention, the album lacks a clear identity and mostly features forgettable songs. While some moments stand out, the overall effort falls short compared to the more cohesive Charm School. The review urges Roxette to focus on future originality rather than revisiting old formulas. Discover Roxette's journey through Travelling—listen and decide if nostalgia or future hits await!

 That gleaming limousine is unscrupulous capitalism, deaf to a planet in decay.

 I believe it could leave the audience sufficiently puzzled for lively post-viewing discussions, but I consider this 'Cosmopolis' a missed opportunity considering the initial premises.

This review discusses David Cronenberg's film Cosmopolis, highlighting its themes of capitalism, power, and decay. The limousine metaphor and protagonist's emotional detachment are praised, yet the film's heavy, confusing dialogue and minimal action make it a challenging watch. While it inspires debate, the reviewer sees it as a missed opportunity with interesting but overly complex elements. Dive into Cosmopolis and join the debate on power, luxury, and the decay beneath the surface.

 "The Animals revived the old black tradition and gave it a sound slap to free it from austerity and academic formalities."

 "'We've Gotta Get Out Of This Place' would be enough to justify the unconditional devotion to the group, this collection contains forty other valid reasons."

This review praises The Animals' compilation album as a vital collection of blues rock classics. It highlights their role in reviving traditional American blues within the UK scene, driven by Eric Burdon's powerful vocals. The album is credited with influencing future rock developments and is awarded a perfect score for its timeless appeal and historical importance. Listen to The Animals' timeless blues rock classics and explore the roots of British rock today!

 Kick Out The Jams is the proof that people like Wayne Kramer and Rob Tyner can change music.

 They just wanted to scream their anger and play like crap and this was the secret of the already mentioned Iggy Pop.

Kick Out The Jams by MC5 is a powerful and raw live album recorded in Detroit in 1969. It captures the primal energy and anger of a band that helped lay the foundation for punk rock. The review highlights MC5's authentic, unrefined sound and their influential role despite limited technical skill. This album remains a crucial, often overlooked rock milestone that predates bands like the Ramones and Sex Pistols. Dive into the raw energy of MC5's Kick Out The Jams – a true punk rock milestone! Listen now and experience Detroit's primal rock legacy.

 This is a youthful and unripe album in the sense of being instinctive, fresh, passionate, spontaneous; simple and sincere pop rock.

 Her empathetic, versatile, never intrusive, playful, and brilliant vocalism hits the mark, just as much as her simple and sincere songwriting.

Kirsty MacColl's debut album 'Desperate Character' showcases a young artist's fresh, passionate pop-rock style. Despite fragmented success, the album shines with genuine melodies and versatile vocals. Its blend of vintage 60s and 80s sounds alongside heartfelt songwriting captures MacColl’s unique charm. This album remains one of her most successful and emblematic works, revealing her true artistic depth. Listen to Kirsty MacColl’s 'Desperate Character' and experience a fresh pop-rock classic full of charm and heartfelt melodies!

 The song and the video gave me mixed feelings: lightness and melancholy, sadness and carefreeness.

 'Gossamer' teaches that if you have a problem, you must keep smiling at life, not to deceive others, but to strengthen yourself.

Initially indifferent to Passion Pit, the reviewer was drawn in by the mental health struggles of lead singer Michael Angelakos and the single 'Take a Walk.' Despite a lukewarm first listen, repeated plays of 'I'll Be Alright' deepened their appreciation. The album delivers a mix of melancholy and optimistic energy, teaching strength through smiles. It ranks among the reviewer's top albums of the year alongside other notable artists. Listen to Passion Pit's Gossamer and experience a unique blend of melancholy and uplifting indie pop.

 An ending as predictable as rarely seen only further disappoints the very large potential of the project.

 A production that operates on a very basic level (not annoying, mind you), that simply doesn’t capture the attention, except perhaps of the very young.

Rupert Sanders' Snow White starts strong with Charlize Theron's villainous performance but quickly loses momentum. Kristen Stewart's role fails to engage, and the film suffers from dull action, ineffective special effects, and a predictable storyline. Despite a solid cast and high potential, the movie ultimately feels formulaic and bland, appealing mostly to younger audiences. Discover why Rupert Sanders’ Snow White disappoints despite its star cast and fantasy promise—read the full review now!

 Nick Waterhouse is good at masquerading as 'black,' but practically incapable, in the context, of communicating who he really is.

 This album is nice, buy it, download it, listen to it, but in essence it doesn’t say and will never say anything about who Nick Waterhouse really is.

The review contrasts Nick Waterhouse's album 'Time's All Gone' with the autobiographical reflections of Keith Richards. While praising Waterhouse's faithful homage to 60s black music and high production values, the reviewer questions the artist's personal identity and authentic voice behind the retro style. Despite enjoying the album's sound, the reviewer feels it lacks deeper self-expression and originality. Discover Nick Waterhouse’s vintage-inspired sound—listen to 'Time’s All Gone' and explore a passionate revival of classic rhythm & blues today!

 Sharon, black hair, smooth and shiny. Dark, penetrating eyes. With her guitar in hand and her voice, she wins you over immediately.

 Thank you, Sharon, for these twelve tracks soaked in memories, in pain, but above all in strength and positivity.

The review highlights Sharon Van Etten's 'Tramp' as a deeply personal and emotional album, portraying themes of lost love, growth, and friendship. The music creates an intimate bond with the listener, enhanced by a moving duet with Zach Condon. The album offers both melancholy and strength, making it a memorable and comforting musical experience. Listen to Sharon Van Etten's 'Tramp' and experience a heartfelt journey through love, loss, and growth.

 "Squawk is certainly a small masterpiece of creativity and imagination, where each track shines with its own life and light."

 "Tony Bourge’s guitar riffs are much sharper and more incisive than in the debut, creating an incredibly essential and compact wall of sound."

Budgie's 1972 album 'Squawk' is a powerful and creative work that bridges hard rock and heavy metal. With sharper riffs and varied styles, it showcases the band's musical range and innovation. Though overlooked at release, it's now recognized as a small masterpiece worthy of rediscovery. Tracks mix hard-hitting aggression with folk and psychedelic influences, anchored by strong performances from the trio. Explore Budgie's 'Squawk' to experience the hard-hitting roots of heavy metal and the band's unique eclecticism today!

 Her name was Lizzy Grant, and she was capable.

 "Kill Kill", "Yayo", "Pawn Shop Blues", and at least three or four more are little pop gems.

This review sheds light on Lana Del Rey’s first album released under Lizzy Grant, highlighting its dark yet elegant style and standout tracks like "Kill Kill" and "Yayo." Despite initial obscurity and later withdrawal, the album reveals that Lana had talent prior to her commercial breakthrough. The reviewer appreciates the album's authenticity and contrasts it with her more produced work. While noting some live performance critiques, overall the album earns a solid positive rating. Explore Lana Del Rey’s original sound with her debut album as Lizzy Grant—listen now and discover the hidden pop gems!

 An anti-star disguised as a star, able to express ‘underground’ concepts using blatantly mainstream language.

 No man can guess in cold blood what he might do in passion, but the things that he deplores today are tomorrow’s latest fashion.

The review praises Falco's 'Wiener Blut' as an eclectic and innovative album, capable of combining synth-pop, funk, rap, and glam rock with ironic and provocative lyrics. The record marks a turning point, signaling the beginning of a more niche phase for the Viennese artist and his talent for anticipating musical and social trends. Rediscover a synth-pop landmark: let Falco surprise you!

 A fan in a rock album… incredible but true, but it’s the sound of a fan that opens the fifth studio album by Deep Purple.

 Fireball rightfully ranks among the gems of hard rock, a very powerful album, an album with no holds barred.

The review praises Deep Purple's 1971 album Fireball for its powerful hard rock sound and standout tracks like the title song and Demon’s Eye. It highlights Ian Paice's drum skills, Ian Gillan’s aggressive vocals, and Blackmore’s famous guitar solo. The album is celebrated as a gem of hard rock with no compromises.

 Fire Make Thunder emerges as a weaker CD than usual, entangled in itself and with fewer interesting cues compared to the past.

 The class is there and it is noticeable, but this time the ideas have come up short.

OSI's 'Fire Make Thunder' is a highly anticipated 2012 prog metal album featuring electronic and urban metal elements. While the album offers complexity and moments of brilliance, it falls short compared to earlier works like 'Free' and 'Blood.' The review highlights the album's strengths such as aggressive guitar work and unique atmospheres but notes a sense of overconstruction and fewer memorable ideas. Overall, it is a decent but less spontaneous OSI release that demands multiple listens. Discover the nuanced layers of OSI's Fire Make Thunder—listen now and explore this complex prog metal journey.

 The rest of the album is in the style of 'Now Demolition,' with slow rhythms that, when executed by Evile, even make the most die-hard thrasher wince.

 My final rating for this heavy-to-listen album (even though it’s composed of only 9 tracks) is 2/5.

This review criticizes Evile's second album, Infected Nations, for its slow rhythms and unengaging tracks compared to the band's debut Enter The Grave. Only a few songs and certain musicians stand out, but the album is overall heavy to listen to and disappointing. The reviewer gives it 2 out of 5 stars and recommends revisiting the debut album instead. Explore the full review and listen to Evile's debut Enter The Grave for a better thrash metal experience!

 "A film that has passed somewhat under the radar, possessing a weak point in its excessive reliance on already seen characters, but at the same time has the ability to make these personalities well-integrated into a world with distorted edges."

 "London Boulevard is a film with a modern cut, attempting to create its own structure, capable of entwining gangster, thriller, metropolitan drama, and a love story made more of glances and unspoken things than of sickly sweet romance for its own sake."

London Boulevard, directed by William Monahan, is a modern gangster thriller merging crime, romance, and visual flair. While it follows some familiar genre tropes, its stylish execution, strong performances, and soundtrack make it engaging. The film blends complex characters and a moody London setting, crafting a dark yet captivating atmosphere. Despite criticisms of being derivative, it offers an enjoyable and well-crafted experience. Watch London Boulevard to dive into a stylish blend of crime, romance, and moody London vibes.

 Aufheben is perhaps the best album of the new era and coincides with our Maestro’s revived artistic vigor.

 A small gem of psychedelia finally aimed at communicating with the outside world and not just with one’s inner self.

Aufheben marks a powerful return for The Brian Jonestown Massacre and Anton Newcombe, blending psychedelic influences with krautrock and pop melodies. The album balances mystical motorik rhythms and dreamy atmospheres with new sonic explorations. It showcases a matured, clear artistic vision, leaving behind previous struggles and delivering one of the band’s best works in years. The diverse tracks reflect a blend of classic inspirations and avant-garde experimentation. Explore Aufheben and experience The Brian Jonestown Massacre's vibrant psychedelic journey today!

 "Behind those shy, reserved, introverted, snobbish characters were hidden two absolute geniuses of light music."

 "This album approaches perfection ... selecting a random track guarantees finding a masterpiece."

Steely Dan's debut album Can't Buy A Thrill blends pop, rock, jazz, and fusion into a near-perfect collection. Donald Fagen’s unique voice shines despite initial industry doubts. Each track offers sophisticated arrangements and timeless appeal, making the album a masterpiece repeatedly worth listening to. Not just a record but a benchmark in quality and artistry. Listen to Steely Dan’s Can't Buy A Thrill and experience a masterful fusion of pop, rock, and jazz that shaped music history.

 Furious and dirty like a brawl, as restless as a neurotic madman, hard yet at the same time rotten.

 Drummer Jim Paradise beats the skins like a desperate man, as if he were hitting someone with an iron pipe.

Pigs' album 'You Ruin Everything' marks a powerful entry from Dave Curran and collaborators, delivering fierce, distorted noise rock. Combining explosive bass, brutal drumming, and raw guitar work, the record is described as violent and heavy yet captivating. The album perfectly captures restless energy and intensity. Recommended especially for fans of Unsane and noisy, aggressive music. Listen to 'You Ruin Everything' now and experience raw, violent noise rock at its finest!

 Diluvium is an album with a devastating sound.

 If the first tracks presented several references to their idols, Atomic Rooster, Diluvium gets closer to Krautrock, especially in the central part.

The review explores AINIGMA's 1973 album Diluvium, a raw and hard album in the Krautrock genre marked by youthful inexperience and modest production. Despite its flaws, the album impresses with torrential riffs and a notable psychedelic suite on the second side. The band, formed by very young musicians, remained obscure but is deserving of rediscovery today. The review highlights both the strengths and limitations of this overlooked Krautrock gem. Explore the raw power of AINIGMA's Diluvium and dive into this hidden Krautrock treasure today!
