Fabrizio De André - Volume III
90

Amore che Vieni Amore che Vai, il Testamento, La Guerra di Piero, so many standout songs. Feels like poetry rather than music in a way, which I figure is most definitively the point lol, the lyrics are so genius (especially if you know italian lol), one of my favourite singer-songwriter records oat

Don't get me wrong, this one has incredible amounts of charm, and I still like the things it did differently, and for me it's ... read more

Rapture - Futile

in a way feels like the perfect spiritual successor to Brave Murder Day in a way that October Tide's "Rain without End" failed to achieve, feels much closer to the simplistic, goth rock-y vibe of the original album. completely left me speechless, wow. Love the melodies, even songs I like less than others like "Someone I (don't) Know" manage to have such good musicianship, the lead guitars are very expressive, and so are the vocals. The drumming is so on point as ... read more
