The dull and anonymous sound marks the fate of this LP for the most part, and the highly questionable performance of the frontman. This 'Live At Last' depicts an off-form band that seems like a pale cover band of the creators of 'Black Sabbath' and 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.'

Black Sabbath's 'Live At Last' is a live album filled with classic tracks but marred by poor sound quality and weak performances, especially from Ozzy Osbourne. The recording, originally a semi-bootleg from 1972, was only officially released in 1980 and has been overlooked since. Despite some moments of decent playing, the album feels dull and lacks the energy and passion fans expect. Overall, it serves only as a cultural artifact rather than a must-have live recording. Discover why 'Live At Last' is a rare glimpse into Black Sabbath's live history—read the full review and decide for yourself!
"TONIGHT IS GONNA BE THE NIGHT...WHEN THE MOON AND STARS AND THE STAGE ARE SHINING BRIIIIIIGHT!!!" "Danny Byrd's sonic signature is there but there’s a vague aura of seriousness that somewhat clashes with the previous tracks; luckily 'Planet Earth' quickly arrives to satisfy my hunger for musical silliness."

This little group has a singer who offers a lyricism that truly stirs something, with a unique voice that is not always 'suitable' for the proposed genre. Not exactly the album of the year but truly sad and disconsolate. Suitable for the summer.

If Rock 'N' Roll doesn't scare your parents, you're not listening to the right stuff. Their music is made not to make you think, that is, amoral (and not immoral) music, which makes puritans and moralists cringe, highlighting that in this world there is also sex, horror, and violence.

Escape Whisper Valley by SpinTop Games is a dull and repetitive Seek & Find game with no meaningful story or challenge. It recycles mechanics and designs from past titles, offering little to no enjoyment beyond the first 10 minutes. Despite attractive backgrounds, the gameplay becomes tedious quickly and lacks longevity. The reviewer advises against purchasing it or similar escape games due to their monotonous and uninspired nature. Avoid Escape Whisper Valley and explore better puzzle games with engaging stories and challenges.

The album title and cover could paradoxically contain the message the band might want to leave, namely that of a death represented by an album that is indeed a blank shot towards music. It’s undeniable that today it’s really difficult to hope for a metal album that can stand the test of time.

Black Tide's sophomore album 'Post Mortem' fails to replicate the raw energy of their debut 'Lights From Above.' The band’s shift from classic heavy metal to a more commercial emo-metalcore style disappoints long-time fans. Industry pressures and a change in image and sound dilute the band's original identity. Despite some well-produced tracks, overall the album lacks the grit and authenticity that once defined them. The reviewer expresses skepticism about the future of metal given current market trends. Explore Black Tide's 'Post Mortem' to hear the controversial shift and decide if this metalcore change works for you.

Live At Syria Mosque, taking place on a carefree day in April, shows us that the band can do without Peter Gabriel and probably, in a certain sense, manages to capture the audience’s attention more effectively as a band and not as a single member. The second part... gives rise to one of the numerous duets between Collins and Bruford, making the piece a genuine crescendo of drumstick and cymbal hits.

Curran’s fourth work ends up falling into a reflection on the truthfulness of God, which shares little to nothing with the film. Stone drags on slowly among dialogues born from a really poor screenplay and real filmic voids.

Stone brings together Robert De Niro and Edward Norton in a prison drama with psychological depth. However, its slow pace and weak screenplay hinder the film's impact. The director relies heavily on the actors' charisma, but their performances are uneven. The spiritual and romantic subplots feel superficial, contributing to a somewhat dull cinematic experience. Discover why Stone's strong cast couldn't save this slow prison drama—read the full review now!
