they may be the best and virtuous Italian group, okay, but they should pay royalties to Frank Zappa for all the aware and sneaky plagiarisms. basically, they are a cover band of Zappa. more
Orgasmic dark decadent black mass in Velvet Underground style. Distortions that evoke a universe torn apart by the fangs of inevitable darkness, music that conjures scenes of death in an empty room, in a microcosm that becomes a macrocosm. Truly disturbing and fascinating at the same time. more
Attention: this music can act as a hormone on the brain and the human body. It stimulates a strong sense of estrangement from reality, a sense of euphoria, and induces the listener to release fluids. Those eager for intense emotions and musical drugs can shoot this sound wonder directly into their veins. more
I can't help but give four stars to this album even though it's made up solely of covers. The musical atmosphere that it creates is so enchanting that it's impossible not to love it. It's like flying on a magic carpet. more
A true giant of singer-songwriter music. No ifs and buts. I’ll add something to the previous definition. He is one of the "three crowns" of the Italian singer-songwriter tradition along with De Andrè and Guccini, and for me, all three deserve 5 stars. The albums from “Alice non lo sa” to “Q Disc” and “La donna cannone” are impeccable and represent the history of the singer-songwriter genre. Some gems with extraordinarily high lyrical and melodic quality. From “Scacchi e Tarocchi” to “Prendere e lasciare,” there’s a different yet equally interesting second phase. From “Amore nel pomeriggio” to today, without infamy and without praise. And then, well, like many (but not all) he has lived off the royalties from the first 10 years of his career. more
One of the masterpieces of European Death Metal; the five Swedish guys don’t need much time: just a little over thirty minutes in an album where everything is infinitely powerful, played with ferocious skill, with a production that highlights the multiple violent characteristics of a sound that annihilates you. "Blinded By Fear," "Cold," "Nausea," songs of unprecedented executive cruelty that lead to the instrumental and conclusive "The Flames Of The End"... Staggering... more
Fellow citizens of Cannibal Corpse and creators of a Death Metal aimed at annihilating through listening: a boulder of disproportionate power, with a guitar sound dark, gloomy, infernal... Degenerates... more
When I see the publication date, it makes me reflect. Damn. more
I love them. more
The damn lord of darkness more
pure shit that is very much liked on debaser more
Raw Death Metal with sick Grindcore residues; from Mexico come these dubious drug traffickers, hiding behind names like Asesino and Juan Brujo... Ritmos Satanicos... more
Missing e Message. And to think that he can't read music! more
A little more Ramazzotti and Antonacci. Less of others. more
The singer of the depressed losers. more
Known internationally, he boasts numerous collaborations. Straddling the line between Art and Commercial. Until 2001, with the album "Shake", he deserves a full 4 stars. Then he lost his way, yet he didn't stop gifting us a few pleasant tracks. "Blues" from 1987 is beautiful and my favorite. And then "Diamante", which, however, is by De Gregori. Rating: 4 upwards. more
An Italian icon worldwide, even if at one point, in duets with Liga and Bono, he sought to get closer to popular culture, when opera and pop are two worlds that are hardly reconcilable. His operatic career is a 5, without a doubt. more
"Strange World", then disappeared. Score 3 for the memories. He was wearing the Napoli shirt on TV in 1996, when the sponsor was Record Cucine. more
A piece of popular Italian nationally-inspired culture. But in the end, it's little more than an honest craftsman. Happy for him that he’s a star in Russia. Rip (1943-2023). more
If only there were more. more
