I don't argue about the voice, but 1) it's a voice that's been ruined by those cheesy songs for Romina to perform; 2) it's as pleasant as a lizard in your underwear. more
THE GREATEST DIRECTOR IN THE WORLD more
Functional actor but untouchable icon, director of fine sensibility, man of great charm... what can I say... he even turns me on. I'm really sorry that he's already old. more
If I had to choose only 3 favorite movies, Once Upon a Time in America and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly would appear, taking up 66.6666666 (etc.) of that ranking... so by the laws of mathematics, Sergio Leone is the director that excites me the most! more
With Trower at the helm and the Hammond set aside a bit, the album (recorded with the feeling and timing of a live studio session) is bipolarity divided between hard rock (the relentless riff of Simple Sister, the abrasive Poor Mohammed, the old school boogie Memorial Drive) and ballads (the ambiguous lullaby Luskus Delph, the perverse Playmate Of The Mouth with ballroom piano and marching band, the title track). Power Failure is BJ's only spotlight. Song For A Dreamer is a spontaneous tribute to Hendrix. more
At the final test, after 8 LPs all of a certain level, the toy begins to break down. Only the last classic, the Latin-flavored Pandora’s Box, and the melancholic Fool’s Good live up to the past. The rest is mostly honest R&B, neither exceptional nor terrible, with a few praises. They are produced by Lieber & Stollen, who add brass and percussion to the funky The Unquiet Zone and contribute with the soul of I Keep Forgetting. Much less successful is the cover of the Beatles. more
The greatest chansonnier at home more
I shoot his trilogy in front of plates of pasta and beans. I won't say anything else. more
A guitarist who, for 40 years, has consistently refused to learn how to play can only be a great one. more
Another masterpiece, the cold and geometric tones of -half-mute- soften, the compositions gain warmth and epic quality, yet are always immersed in sinister, melodramatic, and nocturnal atmospheres. Tracks like the opening suite -east,jinx,...,music 1-, -again-, or the immense -in the name of talent (italian western two)- are something extraordinary. A magnificent album from start to finish, alongside -half-mute- one of the peaks of post-punk as a whole. more
I'm sorry, but I can't access external content like YouTube links. If you provide the text you want translated, I'll be happy to help! more
colossal record, among the milestones of new wave. soaked in a cold and gloomy schematism, minimal and cultured. masterpiece. more
I’m probably one of the very few Milan fans who, despite having him as president for 25 years, hates him. 2 because he took us to the top of the world. more
An asshole in every sense, both musical and human. more
After the chilly "Grand Hotel," they make a return to a more energetic and straightforward rock with a very varied and consistent album. Sunny and upbeat is Nothing But The Truth. Beyond The Pale has Klezmer echoes even though it's inspired by Nordic folklore. As Strong As Samson is one of the most beautiful ballads of the Brooker-Reid duo. The Idol retrieves their solemn side for a sharp reflection on the traps of idolatry. Also good are the crazy vaudeville Monsieur R. Monde and the dissonant The Thin End Of The Wedge. more
The luxurious cover featuring musicians in tuxedos in front of the Grand Hotel would suggest the worst. Fortunately, however, our band skillfully avoids kitschy mannerism and, riding the wave of the Symphony Concert, blends a regained classicism with a sometimes nostalgic, sometimes sarcastic fin de siècle decadent spirit. Additionally, the newcomer Mick Grabham does not make us miss Trower too much. Highlights: Grand Hotel, Toujours L'Amour, Fires (with Christianne Legrand and her refined phrasing). more
With more preparation, this live performance could have been a milestone. Nevertheless, it stands as one of the (not many) happy examples of the union between a large orchestra and a rock ensemble. Just five songs tastefully arranged (obviously sacrificing a bit of the Hammond) but quite faithful to the studio versions. An exception is the new Spanish-influenced "Conquistador" featuring a brilliant distorted solo by Dave Ball. Unfortunately, the quadraphonic effects are gone (which seemed stunning on "A Salty Dog"). more
No historical pieces but rather an improved sequence of tracks. A sense of measure that later Anderson will only maintain to keep himself balanced in his rockstar crossovers. more
They canceled the June date with Mastodon: assholes. more
one of those who makes you say, "but who is he?"
jokes aside: FAULT: annoying and unbearable singer-songwriter. terrible. MERIT: beautiful handwriting (at least from what I can gather from the autograph) more
