Pinned Review
Overcoming architectural barriers.
There is a certain research field within human sciences that gravitates around the concept of "cultural relativism". The roots of this conception may be traced all the way back to the early decades of 19th century, namely to the work of Wilhelm von Humboldt, then they were developed in Germany thanks to lead figures such as Steinthal and Boas. The latter applied the concept of "linguistic relativism", that Humboldt had first developed, to ... read more

Absolution represents a first moment of shift in Muse's music career: from the heavy stuff that was contained in Origin of Symmetry, the band incorporate some electronic sound that will progressively be dominant in the rest of Muse's discography. For different reasons and with different merits, I feel like that Absolution is more or less on the same level of the band's previous release.
Absolution loses much of the energy that distinguished Muse's sound in Origin of ... read more
Metallica go pop and do it great!
Metallica's self titled is the last album in Metallica's discography (isn't it?) and it's a great way to close the efforts of an almost ten years long career - even though it is not close to the band's masterpieces.
This album surely denotes an opening of the band to a more wide approach that wanted to made the band as mediatic as possible: they achieved this purpose and they did it with good songs overall. It's nowhere comparable ... read more
"Luciferian Towers" is more or less on par with GY!BE previous release, but for different reasons.
It drastically cuts drone sections that was the part that I've less appreciated in Asunder, but in doing so it is not able to reach the build up that the latter was able to create.
Politically and socially speaking this album carry a lot, but it fails to fully convey its message due to the lack of field recording on the one hand (as in GY!BE first two studio albums), and the strong ... read more
A twist on the scene.
Though being part of the windmill scene, The last dinner party differ stylistically a lot from most of the bands that are part of it. Adopting a pompous and extravagant sound, the band is able to make a great pop album with some really good sections in it (maybe I'm biased, but they were always the parts were the bass was the protagonist, like in Sinner).
Despite not being my go to type of music, this album has surely a lot of elements in itself to justify the will ... read more
Origin of Symmetry is an electrifying and energetic album that combines heavy, dirty and hypnotic riffs with great vocals, resulting in an outstanding progressive rock album. After Showbiz, that was an ok but overall unimpressive debut album, Muse give a real display of their sound in this album that it is, still to this days, one of their best releases.
The only flaw of this album is that ion the second part feels like it holds back so that it is unable to match the strength of the powerful ... read more
