This album is like a Sicilian cannolo without ricotta, a beautiful package that wraps a cheap gift.

 Taproban may have perfectly emulated even Gabriel’s little burp, but they spent everything on their cloning effort reserving the residual energy to recreate a C-Sides of their legendary epigones.

Taproban’s Posidonian Fields heavily imitates early 70s Genesis but fails to deliver originality or engaging material. The album feels like a hollow clone, with only minor highlights such as the track "Octopus." Despite nostalgic appeal, the review criticizes the album's monotony and lack of substance. Dive into the review and decide for yourself if Taproban’s nostalgic prog rock homage hits or misses the mark.

 This could be a definition attributed to the term Post-Rock, or rather to the experience of certain artists like Tortoise or to the projects undertaken later by the members of Squirrel Bait.

 An immediately recognizable sound, thanks to both the voice and Bill Nelson's unique guitar style.

 Two hours of film without particularly engaging events or scenes ends up being boring, an abyss into which Michael Clayton falls.

 Tony Gilroy throws interesting ideas with punctuality and precision, but he prefers a far too classic approach.

Michael Clayton explores complex legal and political wrongdoing through a restrained, classical narrative. Despite strong performances from George Clooney and Tilda Swinton, the film struggles to generate suspense or engaging events. Director Tony Gilroy prioritizes thoughtful ideas over thrilling action, resulting in a slow-paced drama that poses interesting questions but lacks entertainment drive. Tilda Swinton's Oscar-winning role is a highlight in this otherwise underwhelming feature debut. Discover the layered narrative of Michael Clayton and decide if this cerebral drama is your kind of thriller.

 Our friends in Flames can’t produce anything but the same records over and over.

 The opening and title track of the album makes me laugh personally, with this Metallica-esque arpeggio... and then the metalcore kicks off, but not even the good kind.

 What particularly emerges in this work is the great compositional inspiration that still drives the guitarist as the decade reaches its turning point.

 His vocal ability leaves a bit to be desired, not off-key, but with a tone that is not very interesting and perhaps inexperienced.

 The Greek band shows nothing new under the sun, and the 'blonde' from the 'World on Fire' video is enough to understand the current state of Firewind: the ideas have run out.

 It is power itself that no longer offers anything new. It can no longer attract because it is fossilized always on the same coordinates.

The review criticizes Firewind's Days Of Defiance for offering nothing new to the power metal genre, which the reviewer feels is stuck in repetition and clichés. Despite good technical skills and chemistry, the album falls short of expectations. Some tracks like 'Chariot' and 'Broken' receive praise, but overall the work is deemed too constructed and uninspired. The reviewer also reflects on the genre's overall stagnation. Discover Firewind's Days Of Defiance and decide if power metal still has a spark for you!
