500 FOLLOWERS REVIEW (big thanks to all of you guys!!!).
This one is the only Bob Dylan album I have never written a single line. There is something too big about it that keeps me always in the back of the room just listening to it without being able to put my words on it. Maybe this is a good opportunity to finally give it a try.
For many many years talking about best Dylan album was a synonym of talking about “Highway 61 Revisited” and perhaps for some bold people it was a ... read more

Best Iron Maiden album.
How many bands keep improving at their seventh release? Not many
This is the case for Seventh son…here the band keep looking for the best way to incorporate new ideas to their formula without loosing their signature. And yes, they were incredible successful in this attempt.
Seventh son… is inspired by the novel Seventh Son by Orson Scott Card, which basically serves as a general idea to develop the plot for the album (check the book anyway because is ... read more
It is difficult to be super objective with The Beatles but I will do my best.
Brief summary: I love the song, I don't know if I am loving what they did with the original track.

Probably as most of you I was moved (and I am still) with John vocals. To hear him "alive" after all these years is a thing, no question about it. I clearly miss the guy and his unique sensitivity. I really love the way he approaches to this subtle atmospheres (this song reminds me to Julia or maybe Oh My ... read more
A couple of notes here.
I am always worried when a classic band release a late career album. It is always a question of, are they going to just copy and paste whatever they have been doing for the last XX years? Is it going to sound soulless? Are they going to try to sound "fresh" following some sort of a new/current type of popular sound? plus the unavoidable question in this particular case, is the singer going to be capable to decently deliver? and finally the most common around ... read more
I can see people is kind of deciding they are back (from who knows where) and the dark times are gone. Be excited because the second coming is here... sorry but if all that crap is just based in this song, you are delusional.
This song is a copy of a copy of a copy, rhythm, drums, vocals even the lyrics is a copy of something better they have done before. yes, it sounds like American Idiot, so guess what? elections are coming and this is the perfect opportunity to resucite some old glories. I ... read more
I am not even sure if this was disappointing or not.
I like the band, I have enjoyed way too much his early stuff to come here and say "this is the worst band ever¨, sorry I can't do that.
But the thing is that I think the real problem here is we were expecting too much from this guys. The idea was always fun and extremely simple, but even as simple as it was these guys managed themselves to create a very recognizable musical signature. Actually I must say, they invented a sound on ... read more

Hey there, whynot! I am almost at 100 reviews and I thought to myself, what would I review for my 100 review. What do you think? And it doesn't just have to be rock or metal. It can be anything. I will also be doing a community list on the most requested albums. Thank you!

Hey Whynot!!!
I just hit 200 followers, thank you all so much!!! To celebrate I'm doing another community list, as my last one seemed to go relatively well...
Ok, here's the scenario:
You're abducted by aliens and they're curious about the human race, and they ask you about the strange assortments of sounds we call 'music'.
What song or album would you pick to show them that encapsulates the reason why humans listen and enjoy music.
Thank you again for your contribution!!

Hello there Whynot!
Would you like to be part of my new community list? This time, the topic is "Airplane Mode": what would be, in your opinion, a perfect song to play while flying high up in the sky.
I'm looking forward to your submission! And for this occasion I will also make a playlist for Spotify and maybe YouTube as well

I will make sure to give it a listen! It sounds chilling and hopeless with those lyrics in mind. I appreciate your recommendation!

What I love about this website is how some mfs who probably have never written a birthday card invitation then come here and write ¨very poor songwriting in this album¨... priceless.

Finally done.
First two records fill the first place in my head, just depends on the day.
Eighties was the most difficult decade to review... for the most it is an amazing discography.
