Coldplay -X & Y
Perhaps their best album... The refinement and melodic delicacy of the first two albums colored with those beautiful spacey synths! Then they tried to evolve, but the arrangements became a bit flat. more
Steven Wilson -The Raven That Refused To Sing
He took a bit from here and a bit from there from various 70s prog groups, adding in several more personal ideas and creating something that, while derivative, doesn’t sound like anything you’ve heard before! Truly amazing; I don’t know how many could pull it off! more
Muse -Black Holes And Revelations
Perhaps the most bizarre album of the trio! Electronics, heavy rock, folk, country, pop-funk, the album that crowns them as an eclectic band! more
Muse -The 2nd Law
The album that confirms the "modernity" of Muse. With the difference that they know how to interpret and work with modernity with class and genius, while the other "modern" bands are just laughable! more
Bob Dylan -Planet Waves
1974 album by the American singer-songwriter, just for the presence of "Forever Young" and the music of the Band, it's worth listening to it. more
The Band -Rock of Ages
Live masterpiece from the Canadian-American band. A must-have for Christmas gift. more
Yes -Time And A Word
Very good album finally, both the first and last tracks are very good. more
The Rolling Stones -Out Of Our Heads
Good yes, the covers are excellent ("Cry to Me" above all) there are tracks written by the whole group (under pseudonyms) not bad, Jagger/Richards were already writing good songs and meanwhile, even though the maturation of their style along with a significant leap in quality would only happen with "Aftermath," they brought out "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction"; above all, Richards came up with the riff for Satisfaction... more
Ritest -Le ortiche
unmissable! more
AA.VV. -Saturday Night Fever
It gathers the best of '70s disco music. Essential. more
Miles Davis -Sketches Of Spain
Interesting blend of jazz and Spanish music. more
Died Pretty -Free Dirt
The psychedelic post-punk masterpiece by the Sydney group, the perfectly fitting cover reflects the content of the music. Keyboards, violins, and saxophones enrich the melodies built around Brett Myers' guitar. Many successful tracks from "Blue Sky Day" to "Through Another Door," from "Round and Round" to "Next to Nothing"... 4.5 more
The Exploited
When telling the Exploited to shove it, one should ask this question: "At 22 years old, would I have been able to write a Troops of Tomorrow?" Great. Period. more
The Dream Syndicate -Out of the Grey
Generally regarded as inferior (and not by a little) to "Medicine Show," this judgment finds me in complete disagreement. Okay, it doesn't reach the previous heights, and the riffmaster Precoda is missing, but he is well replaced by Paul B. Cutler. The tension may drop, but the tough tracks are still here: "Boston," "Forest For The Trees," "50 in a 25 Zone," and the title track. more
Danny & Dusty -The Lost Weekend
Legendary album released in the mid-'80s, when Steve Wynn, justifiably disappointed by the lack of success of "Medicine Show," takes a moment to reflect and, along with the leader of Green On Red and members of their bands, plus members of the Long Ryders, gifts us this enjoyable LP. Recorded in just a few hours..."Song For The Dreamers" 3.5 more
Tom Waits -Swordfishtrombones
This is also a great record. Between the 4 and the 5 :-) more
Tom Waits -Blue Valentine
Smoky, thick, and incredible. more
Tom Waits -Heartattack and Vine
The first track was the first song by Waits for me. I feel very connected to this album. more
