Enzo Carella -Vocazione
Still a bit immature, but all the elements are already there. Arrangements are less soft compared to Sfinge and Barbara, more angular and distinctive. Great tracks emerge like Vocazione, Fosse vero, L'anima pagliacciona, and Malamore, with ironic and spicy pieces like Ballatetta and La serietà, and out-of-this-world portraits like Il sud è un'infanzia sudata. I would say less like Sfinge and more like Barbara and others. more
Edoardo Bennato -La Torre di Babele
Great album. The Tower of Babel is a masterpiece of immense irony and truth that shakes you to your core, Venderò is wonderful, an immense singer-songwriter at the peak of Bennato's creativity, Franz is my name almost dystopian listened to in 2020. And then other angry and excellent tracks like Viva la guerra and EEA. Too bad about that nonsense track Ma chi è, not because it’s an out-of-context piece that, for heaven’s sake, Edo has never failed to deliver, but it’s definitely “sloppy.” In conclusion, still a great album but doesn’t deserve top marks. more
Edoardo Bennato -Il Paese Dei Balocchi
"Have doubts" was still enough, but this is where the slaughter truly begins. Following this, there will be a handful of albums, each uglier than the last ("Sbandato" being the worst). Much better is the contemporary "È asciuto pazzo 'o padrone," released as Joe Sarnataro. I would give it 1.5... let’s say 2. more

Blackberry Smoke
I discovered this band because some members of my band like them and suggest doing covers of their songs... I'm not really a fan of southern rock in general, but I wonder what the point is in listening to a copied version of that genre in 2020. Great musicians, but it's like listening to Greta Van Fleet—why listen to them when we have Led Zeppelin?! And why listen to Blackberry Smoke when there are a thousand bands that invented that sound?!... A comment driven by the frustration of having to play this stuff 😂😢 more
Edoardo Bennato
Until 1980, I always thought he was the best Italian singer-songwriter. One less star for what came after... more

About 5000 groups between the 70s and 80s owe them something. Is that enough?? more

A bit overrated, but until the first half of the '80s it produced excellent works. more
Stiltskin
Come on, they were literally crap... My used record dealer went through the CDs I brought him one by one. This one said, keep it... And I still have it on the shelf as a warning for future generations. more
