The album, allow me to say it, is awful.

 The sound is dry and monotonous, the instruments suffocate each other, with DeMaio’s bass reigning supreme.

The review criticizes Manowar’s The Lord Of Steel as a disappointing follow-up to previous works. It condemns the album’s dry and monotonous sound dominated by an overwhelming bass.

 Ferreri’s Bukowski doesn’t even remotely reach the heights of his real-life counterpart.

 The true Charles’s verve is missing, the nihilism-cynicism dialectic - an essential keystone of the entire literary complex, is absent.

Marco Ferreri’s 'Storie di Ordinaria Follia' attempts to adapt Bukowski’s 'Tales of Ordinary Madness' into film but falls short of capturing the author's complex spirit. The movie reduces Bukowski’s profound nihilism and poetry to a clichéd romantic-drama, trivializing the original work. Despite some visual merit and faithful social setting, the protagonist is portrayed as bland and unexpressive. Fans of Bukowski’s true voice may find this adaptation disappointing and superficial. Discover why Ferreri’s film misses Bukowski’s mark—read the full review and explore the challenge of adapting literary classics to cinema.
