Lucio Battisti -Il Mio Canto Libero
Martello
It was great to listen to it again after so many years. Among the albums I've listened to during the marathon so far, this is easily the best: the music may become less eclectic, but it's also much more mature, making tracks like Il mio canto libero and Io vorrei even more overwhelming. The lyrics are more focused too, often with a heavier tone, like in L'aquila, but sometimes they're also fun, like in Luci-ah or Gente per bene gente per male. But if I have to think about the tracks that will stay with me forever, I think of two opposite poles: Confusione, a fun blues-rock song that I still know by heart, and especially La luce dell'est, which I hadn’t listened to in years and hit me hard, truly bringing tears to my eyes. I didn't see it coming at all, but this album is really something special. 9/10, the most popular Battisti at his highest level. more
Lucio Battisti -Umanamente uomo: il sogno
Martello
Maybe it’s not a masterpiece... but wow, how beautiful this album is. The opener "I giardini di marzo" is stunning (even though a part of me thinks the refrain could have been greatly improved, but I’ll keep that to myself and let it go), fun and danceable "Innocenti evasioni," an absolute masterpiece "E penso a te," beautifully dreamy the title track, very cute "Comunque bella," adorable "Il leone e la galline," quite cool even though with a bit too light a text "Sognando e risognando," for Fantozzi fans 92 minutes of applause for the concluding "Il fuoco"... in short, a great album, even though it remains a step below "Amore e non amore" for me. 8/10, and here Battisti is absolutely on fire. more

I prefer the first period, the one with Paul on vocals. It's really not bad at all with Bruce either, though I lean more towards scattered songs here and there among the endless albums they have released. more

The Elvis of hip hop. As a kid, I thought he was God on Earth, but over time I realized how overrated he really is. He may be a skilled and talented writer, but his lyrics always come off as embarrassing, childish, and utterly banal, even during his so-called "golden years." His productions are nauseating, his hooks are some of the worst I've ever heard, and his flow... Ah, his flow. Is it just my impression, or does he always sound congested? more

I can't believe that "Quadrophenia" is almost 50 years old. It has such current and polished sounds that you can see yourself reflected in it. more

I love the aesthetics, style, and poetry of this brilliant filmmaker. Great films are plentiful: “Stranger than Paradise,” “Down by Law,” “Mystery Train,” “Night on Earth,” “Coffee and Cigarettes,” “Paterson,” although the highest masterpiece perhaps remains “Dead Man.” Special mention for the soundtracks, featuring Elvis, Tom Waits, Neil Young, and many others. more

It is very difficult to describe the amount of beautiful music that Sir Robert Smith produced from 1979 to 1992. From the heirs of Joy Division in their early Dark incarnation to the stunning pop evolution of the mid-'80s, a giant band. My favorite? Perhaps "Disintegration," the masterpiece where the two souls coexist perfectly. But those are just details. more

Lucio Battisti -Amore E Non Amore
Martello
The antithesis of Emozioni. Musically, it is pure avant-garde for its time; just listen to the punk-infused vibe of Se la mia pelle vuoi to understand how forward-thinking it is. From this album, it’s honestly difficult to determine which tracks are the best or worst; it's all so cohesive that it feels like a 35-minute song. But if I had to choose, Dio mio no and Supermarket, along with Una notevole and all the instrumental tracks, are of the highest quality. However, it might be lacking that "shocking" track, the big surprise like Il vento from the first album, but honestly, it doesn’t matter since the whole album is a remarkable, ongoing surprise. 8/10, maybe over time it could become a 9. more

Lucio Battisti — Emozioni | DeRank™: 3,47

Why is this album so damn beautiful?! It surprised me; I wasn't expecting it to be so fresh considering the times it was released. The songs, I must say, one more cult than the other, from Fiori rosa to Mi ritorni in mente, from Anna to Il tempo di morire, from the rather nice Dieci ragazze and Acqua azzurra acqua chiara to that absolute masterpiece Emozioni. Then, of course, there are also the reworks of tracks from the previous album like Non è Francesca and Io vivrò that are always welcome, as well as the lesser-known but excellent tracks like Dolce di giorno and Era. A must in name and fact, and I certainly don't need to say it. 8/10, if according to some the "true" Battisti begins with the next one, a series of fantastic albums is on the horizon. more

I wasn't very eager to start the Battisti marathon because of this album, which didn't attract me at all, mainly due to my lack of feeling for 60s music. Fortunately, there is a lot of good stuff: the classics like Un'avventura, 29 settembre, and Non è Francesca, there’s La mia canzone per Maria which reminds me a bit of Rino Gaetano, and there are Per una lira and Prigioniero del mondo that I find quite nice. But what really elevates the album, in my opinion, are Io vivrò senza te, musically excellent with great pathos, and Il vento, a true country/blues surprise that's somewhat distorted and placed at the end of the album. Everything else leaves me indifferent, which is also a bit how I feel about the album in general; even though it has some great tracks, they all seem to be on the same level, and I still feel a bit disconnected from the music of that era, which I've already mentioned. In conclusion, it’s a good album but definitely not for me; it was nice for a listen, but I have no interest in hearing it from start to finish again. 6/10, those who love it should follow it. more

Absolutely amazing. A Heavy Metal with sounds that are as beautiful as they are unique and refined.
