Delivering a political album is always risky, with the possibility that it will get locked in its historical era usually a direct consequence. On their 18th album, prog rockers Marillion don't seem to care, and they have nothing to lose and no one to account to but themselves. FEAR is an acronym for "Fuck Everybody and Run." Two of its three lengthy, multi-part suites ("El Dorado" and "The New Kings") are overtly political statements that look at England and the calamitous state of the world not only observationally but experientially. Topical songs have been part of the band's catalog as far back as 1984's "Fugazi," and have shown up as recently as the multi-part "Gaza," from 2012's Sounds That Can't Be Made (the latter was perhaps an impetus for this record)…
F.E.A.R. is the eighth studio album by American hard rock band Papa Roach. It was released on January 27, 2015. F.E.A.R. sold 24,425 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 15 on the Billboard 200 chart, charting higher than their previous albums Time for Annihilation and The Connection, also outselling both of them. It is their first Top 15 album in UK since Lovehatetragedy. The album differs from the band's previous sound via the utilization of a "djent" tone in the guitar recordings.
E.A. Poe is another band from the mass of those 70's Italian bands, who recorded just one album in their career and disappeared soon after due to the lack of promotion. The album contains elements both of Symphonic Rock and Classic Progressive Rock, making their style quite abstract and undefienable. Some cuts in ''Generazioni'' are very well-crafted, dominated by the dark organ sounds, light classical piano, soft vocals and pastoral acoustic guitars (and even some mandolin), resembling to a Symphonic Rock band, close to the sound of Premiata Forneria Marconi. In some others it's the star of guitarist Beppe Ronco, who really signs. Leaving his pastoral mood apart, he fills the musicianship with fast guitar chords and jazzy passages, which battle with Giorgio Foti's organ all the time…
