Makeup That Reflects Light

Uzeda I'm A Rope - Different section wires


's true. This is a disc 10 years ago.

You might wonder what sense to talk about this disc so much away from the moment of conception. I answer you now:

1) First reason: to buy risucire are only now, after many years he was looking for and thanks to reprint due to 25 years of music's biggest ever American label: Touch & ; Go

2) Second reason: It's never too late to incense an Italian band that has done (and doing) history and is known as one of the best reality noise at the global level.

3) Third reason: I personally think that Uzeda are an example of integrity, passion and great talent. Two of them are married (just like in Sonic Youth), all are close to 50 years and continue undeterred to play this sonic stuff that would put off fans of their peers from smooth ballroom.


That said, for those not familiar, you must add the disk in question is one of the most mangy I've ever heard: imagine the slowness and repetitiveness of the first dream Ulan Bator, adding that feeling of "bastard attitude" of the typical Shellac (by the way ... sits behind the mixer of course Mr. Albini) and mixed it all with powerful doses of discomfort and nervousness music dates from a guitar able to lie down to the mat.


Perhaps those who are not accustomed to Uzeda happen to call into question the vocal performances of Giovanna Cacciola, when in fact the long run is hard to understand the core of almost everything is you, asynchronous and thus poised on the brink of perpetual discord, but as conclusive (due to his own way of singing) to square the circle Uzeda.


The lion's share is of course the guitar of her husband, Augustine Tilotta (by the way, retail gossip: the couple's son has for some time the new drummer for Three Second Kiss! Bad blood does not lie in short, that routs ...!) the magnetic field by providing the tension that is certainly the figure style of the quartet. Almost never get up the pace, there is no speed in spare "Different section wires" other groups within the same area and link have focused on acceleration and hot beats and here is the worship of the need to "hold the rope" the listener, to fry to perfection, to make him put his hands in his hair to try to relieve nervous at each stage is released in a piece like "Stomp." Then there comes a point where there is only room for a healthy cathartic release: the battery part and the whole takes shape and substance.

Disc essential and deleterious to the same point ...

Tabacco And Mouthwash

Metallica - Death Magnetic


sure I'm not a fan of Metallica. I know not very well, I only have 3 albums (The Black Album, St. Anger and the last album mentioned here) and I listened to the album called "first time" many times and not so long ago (I speak of "Kill 'em all "and especially" Master of Puppets ").

From this start by saying that the condition precedent "St. Anger" was considered by all metalheads a hard unlistenable while I liked it, even if I think a bit 'too broad. It was not a metal album, no solos, sounds very indie. Brave, in fact. I think that Metallica fans hate him, or so ...

why I bought the new, which was released after 5 years earlier. is an album pigeonholed in the concept of "throwback" I generally much less impressed than "St. Anger" Metallica wanted to go back to Metallica. The point is that I have noticed that the disk has been accepted in a truly mixed, some say because they are boiled in an hour of music put everything they have done in 25-year career (and I would say that in this context are essentially agree with them) and there Some say that the songs must listen without prejudice and that the riffs are the best tours currently in the field of hard (and I agree with this statement).

are in midstream, they are not able to figure out where they want to get these four gentlemen vintage men millionaires ... probably only do what they want, not having to prove anything to anyone. The only certainty is that the hard work in the long run, and only if you have big claims. They should put in the car with the volume always very high, listen and listen again.

The square and devastating riffs push ... you realize that they are monstrous in terms of inventiveness, that the arrangements are sensational, there are cuts and changes that do not know how many would be able to invent / make. In some ways really impresses our "Death Magnetic"

automatically but you also realize that metal bands have never been able to write a ballad worthy of the name and Metallica are one example: pathetic attempts to give sense to a sequence of agreements which by their nature can never become distilled beauty (in "Death Magnetic" to get even the ridiculous "The Unforgiven III" as if they had enough of the failed attempts of the two previous chapters).

The final impression is that of a group returned to base as having realized that they are capable of playing music only significantly Metal.

And what if they pleased, they are happy to do this. The steps of "Load" "Re-Load" "St.Anger" and "Black Album" - to quote the most controversial episodes but also the most challenging in light of the growth of a group - did not lead to anything. am only interim steps, moments of madness if you will.

Ultimately should stop writing album, have made the history of heavy music and their "Death Magnetic" will end in my back burner fast enough, just the echo of their magnificent riff ends to let me go up and down her head.

What a strange group Metallica ... who understands them more ...
