A rare example of a career without any drops in quality, marked by the release of albums that defined a five-year period from the late seventies to the early eighties. An essential sound, with tracks instantly recognizable after just a handful of seconds... It's a gift you're born with... more
Good job. I give it a 4 mainly for "Demian", which after all these years remains one of my favorite Italian albums. Even the latest "Il contrario dell'amore" has some great tracks, it's just a pity she's not very prolific (but if the silence helps avoid her producing stuff like "Sei come me," then it's for the best). more

Imagine a distant stellar object that emits energy like a hundred galaxies... INCREDIBLE! more
Shameful like all the people from Como. more
A band that, through the five albums released, has crafted a linear, intimate, introspective, and twilight journey, with songs that dig deep into the soul, leaving you with a sense of eternal serenity... Spiritual... more
"Sandinista!" Just pronouncing and writing the name of this sonic monument by the Clash fills me with the usual, ever-present generational chills; a work that contains thirty-six tracks with a total duration of nearly two and a half hours, where the band is at the peak of a creative arc that seems to never end. It begins with the rock-rap-hip hop of "The Magnificent Seven," which immediately makes it clear that there are no cultural or musical barriers: WORLD MUSIC... more
In three words, the answer to the question: "what is post-rock?" more
Never been a fan of heavy metals, but these ones are really interesting. Veins of prog metal, death, etc... more
"Heroin it's my wife and it's my life." Already listened to in a destabilized state of consciousness, I can only imagine what happens when you listen to European Son and Heroin under LSD. I guess that I just don't know. more
After three years of silence, too long for me, Mark Knopfler returns with the first double album of his crystal-clear discography; a record where the proverbial sound of his guitar weaves threads of infinite poignant beauty, with the peak reached by "Yon Two Crows," a song with a rustic flavor so soft, accompanied by Mark's voice occasionally whispered, which rightfully ranks among the most beautiful interpretations from my personal dispenser of dreams... Enchanting. more
Primus have always titled their albums ironically; in my opinion, they surpass themselves with this fourth album released in 1995!!! "Tales from the Punch Bowl"... A work that aims to be a reasoned continuation of their previous albums: the work, so to speak, of maturity. And it is mystical for me to get intoxicated by the opening "Professor Nutbutter's...", a disruptive ride where, if there were still any doubts, they demonstrate their instrumental mastery... Absolutes... more
I have always appreciated and followed the Cavanagh brothers' band, fascinated by their musical growth which, after the dawn of Doom-Gothic-Metal, has reached in the last two albums a prog-rock with shoegaze nuances of extraordinary emotion... Dreamers... more
After helping to shape the sound of Dire Straits on the first two albums, David leaves the band definitively in the hands of his brother Mark; launching a long solo career, unknown to many, with a series of well-crafted pop-rock albums. more
Spectacular! With the first record, you get into the mood in an impressive way. more
Much more than a punk band. more
How could you forget these guys, even just for "Celebrate"/"Gli spari sopra"? Oh God, the records you can happily forget though.. pretty weak band, zero originality, and a handful of things copied from U2 during the Eno period. Anyway, aside from the "BONIANA" (and annoying) voice, the first album was a decent radio rock record. more
I've seen Gene live in action multiple times, with Death, Strapping Young Lad, Fear Factory: pure technique with a speed of execution that leaves you in awe. But what impresses me the most is his bulk: a mountain capable of maintaining terrifying tempos effortlessly... Deadly... more
