 In this wreckage, the Californians Thrice are among the very few bands to be saved, and they do so in great style.

 The remarkable opening trio is equaled in the closing trio where melody and speed coexist in symbiosis.

Thrice’s debut album Identity Crisis stands as a strong entry in the post-hardcore and emocore scene of the early 2000s. Known for its energetic riffs, fast-paced drumming, and melodic hardcore influences, the record shows the band’s originality despite raw production. The album features memorable tracks including an opening and closing triumvirate that showcase their distinct style. While it lacks later experimentation, the debut captures the essence of Thrice’s foundational sound. Dive into Thrice’s Identity Crisis and experience the raw energy of their post-hardcore roots today!

 Centurion is mainly a thriller heavily characterized by the slasher soul of its director.

 What a shame... It’s an engaging and dynamic film, but little 'worked' precisely on those elements in which Marshall needed to improve.

Neil Marshall's Centurion is a visually compelling action thriller set in ancient Britain, focusing on the epic of the Ninth Roman Legion. While the film succeeds in its intense battle scenes and atmospheric design, it falls short in character development and historical storytelling. Fans of Marshall's earlier work may find it engaging but lacking the complexity expected. Overall, Centurion is a dynamic but uneven film. Explore the fierce battles and intense visuals of Centurion, but see if the story and characters meet your expectations.

 "This latest work by Shining was a bit rushed, put together without much conviction and lacking a raison d'être."

 "Kvarforth's clean singing is irritating and often reminiscent of cheesy choruses like those of Linkin Park."

The seventh album by Shining, VII: Fodd Forlorare, marks a disappointing turn in the band's evolution. Although musically precise and well-produced, the album lacks the compelling edge and emotional depth that characterized their earlier work. Excessive clean vocals and uninspired performances diminish the impact, making it a lesser entry in their discography. Fans of the band's prior artistry may feel let down by this more polished but less innovative release. Discover why Shining's VII: Fodd Forlorare divides fans—read the full review and listen to decide for yourself!

 Pure madness.. this might be the first statement that comes to mind once you place "Om" by Coltrane on the turntable.

 The saxophonist’s spiritual research continues by temporarily setting aside the unparalleled lyricism of his sax, instead becoming strong, especially in this session, of a cosmic aggressive and noisy free jazz.

John Coltrane's Om is a pivotal album marking his shift to free jazz infused with spirituality and African influences. Featuring intense, dissonant solos, and collaborative jazz mastery, it challenges traditional forms and embraces cosmic themes. The album is both aggressive and engaging, representing a key point in Coltrane's spiritual and artistic evolution. Dive into the cosmic sounds of John Coltrane's Om and experience a transformative free jazz journey today!

 A kind of demented and at times brilliant TOM & JERRY, without words, without filters, without 'well-meaning' that pierced (and spoiled!) the young minds of the readers.

 The contrast between the 'childish' sign and the 'heavy' contents indeed created a unique short circuit.

Inspired by Robert Crumb, it broke traditional comic norms and was frequently censored. The work remains a rare cult classic with a unique mix of irreverence and artistic boldness. Its contrast between innocent visuals and heavy content offers a shocking and memorable reading experience. Discover the wild world of Squeak The Mouse and experience a cult comic like no other!

Overall, it reopens a classic groove and highlights Scandinavian rock diversity. Listen to 'The Art Of Telling Lies' and experience Vains Of Jenna's fresh take on classic hard rock.

 Tarja’s vocal performance is superb and shines especially in the ballads.

 The final impression is one, forgive my expression, of a 'handbrake' perpetually engaged.

Tarja Turunen's second solo album 'What Lies Beneath' is an ambitious and polished work showcasing strong vocals and tasteful symphonic elements. The album features notable collaborations and cautious musical experimentation. However, the review suggests the album feels somewhat restrained, lacking a fully realized aggressive metal edge. It balances ballads and heavier tracks but does not completely satisfy either side. The reviewer anticipates a more defined future direction for Tarja's music. Discover Tarja's evolving sound in 'What Lies Beneath'—listen now and explore her symphonic metal journey.

 The jewel, however, is the phenomenal "Bankrobber", one of the first examples of 'glitch hop', where a massive beat of snare and bass drum is followed by a series of electronic/idm digressions.
