Yes, you’ve learned to play, but accept it: even if you lived 10 lives, you would never be able to play like Dave Weckl, not even if in that last life Christ himself came down to put the sticks in your hands. You can play, yes, but you’ll always be a demo machine from a drum school, a horse circus good for provoking orgasms in 14-year-olds in a phase of pseudo-prog fundamentalism, a full-of-it jerk with no taste, just like your ex-band, the Malmsteen of drums. But fuck you. more
Sure, if they had been HELP instead of ELP, they would have gained something... more
The most boring band of the century... but what technique! more
Too cold and artificial. more

Their most precious gem! Rating: 9 more
They could open and close with just the album Brain Salad Surgery. And they would have been the same for 5. Excluding them from the pantheon of progressive music is incompetence in the field. Anyway, if you’re more inclined towards Dario Baldan Bembo, I still respect you. more
Brrr... who turned off the radiator??? more
Unbelievable! Portnoy can kiss his balls. Phenomenal. more
The Beppe Grillo of Italian music. more
Not something to listen to all the time, musically sparse, but get swept up in the gray landscapes that his songs paint and you'll understand why he is liked. Vasco is either loved or hated. more
Yes, they are show-offs and exhibitionists of the worst kind, but Tarkus, Trilogy, and Brain Salad Surgery are a full 5! more
I don't understand what these three have done that is so striking. So much technique serving nothing, or almost. Fortunately, prog and music in general also have a soul! more
I still need to understand why for many, an artist can't be great if they don't know how to play an instrument. We're talking about a unique band (the only ones that come close are the (inferior) Yes, in the progressive realm). I believe the suite "Tarkus" is among the top 10 light music compositions to be passed down to future generations. Definitely among the BEST in the progressive genre. more
Great debut album from the group led by Pierpaolo Capovilla, 11 tracks all beautiful, especially "Dio mio," "E lei venne," "Lezione di musica," and "La canzone di Tom." An opening with the first 6 tracks very violent and fast, a closing with increasingly slow and melancholic melodies... definitely a very good job! more
I will definitely go against the grain, and the most die-hard Maiden fans will curse me, but in my opinion, it's the best work the band has ever done. All 10 tracks are beautiful (perhaps only "The Nomad" is a bit lacking), and the cover makes me drool; in fact, I also have the poster in my bedroom...great album with Bruce's return on vocals (year 2000). more
In my opinion, the best work by Afterhours, along with the latest album Padania. Definitely a must-have for those who love a somewhat unique and alternative rock. P.S. I adore Afterhours. more
Honest collection of B-sides, and some rearrangements of more famous tracks (e.g. acoustic version of Born in the USA). Nice collection, especially considering that I bought it for € 4.99!!!! more
He wrote samba pa ti. more
It was he who made me reassess Latin music, 5 for this and for his guitar genius. more
