Muse -Origin of simmetry
rating: 9 out of 10, masterpiece! more
Porcupine Tree -In Absentia
excellent! there are the usual songs that leave you perplexed, "lips of ashes" or "prodigal," but the sequence is stunning. it’s an album that is meant to be listened to in its entirety; no song feels out of place or annoying. rating: 9 out of 10 more
Santana -Supernatural
It is known that old Carlos knows how to make use of great musicians, and this album is proof of that. Every song is right for every feeling and moment. Rating: 8 out of 10 more
Mark Knopfler -Shangri-La
..mmh...a bit of a disappointment, Mark is no longer the crazy guitarist he used to be, but in the end it's fair this way, it leaves a bit of a bitter aftertaste. He deserves "Postcards from Paraguay". rating: 6 - more
Porcupine Tree -Deadwing
perfect album from every point of view... only tracks 6 and 9 leave you a bit bewildered, but the rest is excellent. rating: 9 and a half out of 10. also great is the structure and arrangement of the songs, in perfect P.T. style. more
Dream Theater -Octavarium
good record, mature and not overly refined. interesting developments, especially on "sacrified sons" and "panic attack." Dream Theater style with some melodic twists. rating: 8.5 out of 10 more
Dire Straits -Sultans of Swing - the very best of
classic, to buy if interested. rating: 8 and a half out of 10 more
Dream Theater -Metropolis Part 2: scenes from a memory
excellent work by Portnoy's band and company, very well-crafted concept and perfect from every point of view. 9 out of 10, it's a masterpiece but not close to my sensibility (subjective judgment) more
Porcupine Tree -Voyage 34
rating: 7 out of 10, an album you can listen to in the shower, while studying... great philosophical insights, not a perfect album nor a masterpiece, it's enjoyable to listen to. more
Dream Theater -Metropolis Part 2: Live scenes from New York
Great live performance, you can see all the Dream Theater technique, flawless soundcheck... too bad about Portnoy's timing issues in "Home," where he's always singing at least half a second after LaBrie... moving "Spirit Carries On." Rating: 9 out of 10. more
