it's a "almost" unrecognizable band. But this album is perfect from several points of view. When they say "to renew oneself".. more
An interesting album, with various moments of brilliance, but also shadows of a certain compositional fatigue. At times, it revisits the usual tried-and-true clichés of the band. Nevertheless, it is unmissable for progressive aficionados. more
To have. Period. more
Last work in the band (before burning out and rebirthing as Dirigibile). An eye a bit too focused on the charts of the time, but also a desire to experiment. The fact is that Page couldn't do much more with that lineup... everything had to change. And so it did.
Anyway, "Think About It" is spectacular. more
Personally, one of my all-time favorite albums by the Yardbirds. Everything works perfectly. more
I give it a high rating only because it features half an album of masterpieces from the Band. However, the other half consists of pleasant but filler tracks. more
Pure Anglo-Saxon hard rock'n'roll, the swan song of a seasoned band that excels live. From "Saint and Sinners" everything changes irreparably. But here, there’s plenty of fun and dancing to be had. more
A great 80s Hard Rock album! Not a masterpiece, but it flows smoothly and is always enjoyable to listen to (even if many are ashamed of it due to its excessive radio-friendliness). Sikes is a bit over the top (but that’s his trademark), yet he’s solid in terms of songwriting. Coverdale is Coverdale: some love him, some hate him. Personally, every time I revisit some live performances of Deep Purple Mark IV and Whitesnake pre-"Slide It In," I get chills. more
The consecration album: draws from Zappa and Gentle Giant to provide an abundance of ideas and inspirations to Queen. The marvelous pop of I'm Not in Love will make its presence felt everywhere, while the suite Une Nuit à Paris, compared to Bohemian Rhapsody, is definitely another world. Listen, people... listen! more
If you don't get it back, you can't understand most of the best local production. Seminal. more
A "minor" masterpiece. Its current popularity is owed to the film, which, although pleasant and well-made, loses a great deal compared to this masterpiece of literature. Essential, to be placed alongside "Watchmen" and "The Killing Joke." more
Come on, don’t ask me to define Watchmen. There are people who have written their theses on it! Are we kidding? You just need to go down and buy the most expensive version and read it at least 12 times a year. If you don’t, your life will always feel a little emptier. more
An absolute masterpiece. It belongs to that handful of works from the 80s that redefined superhero comics and their entire cosmogony. Unmissable. more
A Hidden Gem of Italian Progressive. Many still envy it abroad, here hardly anyone remembers it... Essential. more
Pleasant album, but it is open to criticism due to an excess of repetitiveness and ideas that sometimes sound already heard. more
Hard Rock establishes its paradigms here. Every song is simply pure, essential, powerful Hard Rock. more
An album that you absolutely must have. It's one of the band's best albums. I would be torn between this and "Let There Be Rock" from the Bon Scott era. more
A magnificent example of eclecticism, technical awareness, and compositional quality. A fantastic album for a truly intelligent band, which has taken pop up a notch and also a bit further. more
Great album, fun and intriguing. With several unmissable classics. more
The Bible of Hard Rock: dirty, direct. If you want to have just two AC/DC albums in your collection, this is one of the two to choose. more
