Най-лошите и абсурдни ревюта на албуми, които сте чели Опции

[abydos]

Това би трябвало да е интересна тема, ако се развие и има потенциал да е доста забавна .
Споделете най-лошите ревюта, на които сте попадали. Обикновено най-забавни са такива за албуми, които са доказали влиянието и качеството си през годините. Ще започна аз с ревю на един от най-любимите ми албуми Terria на канадския музикален психопат Devin Townsend.
Предлагам на пост да не се пускат по повече от 2 ревюта, за да не се затлачи темата. Нека и покоментираме и да се посмеем на тези ревюта и хората, които са ги писали . По възможност дайте и линк към ревюто.

This music describes the best what is a monolithic electric guitar! I have never heard a more monolithic electric rhythmic guitar than on this record: that's completely ridiculous! This brutal guitar is so distorted and polluted with tons of useless effects that it takes all the available room! As if it was not enough, the musician seems to take a huge pleasure to exaggeratedly sustain each note, a painful torment for the ears! The rhythmic guitar is COMPLETELY unmelodious. The lead vocals are just simply too angry and aggressive for me. When the lead vocals are more mellow, they amazingly remind me David Gilmour and James LaBrie. There are some good acoustic guitar parts. There are some unconvincing TV or radio sounds, a much worse copy of Roger Waters' effects: they seem too coarsely produced. You can hear some whales-like sounds. There are some rare good passages, so that, globally, this record is not worth a complete listen. The only track that retained more my attention is "Deep peace", starting with an imitation of David Gilmour's voice; an Oldfield-esque guitar solo then begins, followed by an Hillage-esque one, featuring his spacy ambience from the "Green" album; then, it changes to a VERY modest & much slower attempt to emulate the symphonic Yngwie Malmsteen himself. This VERY rebel music is probably perfect for the young people who like disturbing moods.

Manigance - LґOmbre Et La Lumiere
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nowadays, the Power Metal terrain is well mapped. Discovering new territory is becoming more and more difficult.

Manigance did exactly that with their 2002 album 'Ange Ou Demon', but arguably, 2004's 'D'un Autre Sang' saw the band conceding ground to some of the new kids on the block.

Thankfully, guitarist Francoise Merle and vocalist Didier Delsaux appear to have sharpened up their songwriting pencils for this, Manigance's fourth full studio album, 'L'Ombre Et La Lumiere'.

That said, and maybe it's no surprise, there's nothing here to match the majesty of 'Dernier Hommage', the splendour of 'L'Ultime Seconde' or the adrenalin pumping kick of 'Integrite' from 'AOD'. But a number of tracks at least replicate 'Ange Ou Demon's energetic vitality and one or two come tantalisingly close to 'Ange Ou Demon's power metal benchmark.

'L'Ombre et la Lumiere' explodes into life with the awesome sensory overload of 'Envahisseur', a gilded Prog/Power metal hybrid. Other standout moments include the escalating operatics of 'Sang Millenaire', the neck snapping, high velocity power of 'Privilege' and 'Sentinelle's pneumatically powered riff and motorised rhythms. But album standout by a mile (or a kilometre) is the atypical 'La Force Des Souvenirs'. This track positively pulses with life and is suffused with such compassion and tenderness that in any other setting, the surrounding tracks would seem cold and emotionless.

The one constant across all four albums - and therefore easy to take for granted - has been Merle's plush, heavily layered production. Here, it's coated with a sheen of sonic grandeur that is absolutely perfect for the band's ambitious power metal, and particularly for Delsaux's dynamic delivery. Within that operatic framework, Merle's own guitarwork is epic, creating an overwhelming sense of momentum and an unstoppable drive that just takes no prisoners.

Frequently, where the songs just aren't strong enough, the performances and the production save the day.

But unfortunately, at times you just can't escape the feeling that it's all a bit forced, that what could have been so special is rendered a little bit predictable by the lack of really memorable melodies. But have no doubt, this is better than most, it's just that Manigance now seem to be constantly teetering on the brink - greatness seems impossibly elusive for this outstanding band. Pity.

Често се случва някоя пауър група като кривне от пауъра, верните й пауър фенове да се нахвърлят и бой!!! Същото беше и с последния албум на Sonata Arctica. И Sonata и Manigance никога не са били баш пауър и никога не са се опитвали да се придържат към рамките на този стил.

Фрази, като pneumatically powered riff и motorised rhythms трепят прасето с мотиката.

Точно пък Sonata никога да не са били... Ранният им Stratovarius-ки период ако не е пауър, не знам кое е.
