Roberto Vecchioni -Samarcanda
One step below the extraordinary "Elisir", but in the end not by much. "L'ultimo spettacolo" among his top 5 works, an absolute masterpiece. more
Rino Gaetano -Nuntereggae più
Ah Rino Rino, you've really done so much here... you’ve done even too much... now tell me who can write a song like Cerco... more
Litfiba -Litfiba 3
The beginning of the rock turnaround is already being felt, but the quality is still very, very high. Perhaps the last perfect album in every way by Litfiba. more
Ivano Fossati
the greatest after De André and on par with Dalla. perhaps underrated more
Vasco Rossi -Colpa D'Alfredo
She went home with the nigger the whore more
Genesis -Seconds Out
Probably the best live recording ever! more
Levante
The worst more
Ivano Fossati -Le Città Di Frontiera
It starts here, and it will last for about two decades, the golden era of Ivano. There are many right ideas, but you can feel that the magic of the period 88-2000 is still missing. Between 4 and 4.5 more
Pufuleti
The more crooked they are, the more I like them. Pufuleti sings in all the languages he knows and even makes up another one, his own. It's a continuous nonsense, I can't help but laugh. more
Pino Daniele
"I'm crazy... and don't mess with me." Truly monumental. It's just a shame about a few slip-ups in the last 20 years of his career. But he has really given us so much. more
Ivan Graziani -Seni e coseni
So, where to begin? Side A features four well-crafted ballads, polished to a shine by sacrificing ferocity (except for a bit of Ehi padre eterno) for a softness more akin to Venditti, which risks becoming monotonous after a while. Nevertheless, it produces some beautiful tracks like Pasqua and Ehi padre eterno. The second side brings us back to our dear Ivan, even if this time the lyrics don't always hit the mark. Nevertheless, it remains a good album, even if it can feel heavy upon a full listen. Best tracks: Pasqua, Digos boogie, Ehi padre eterno. more
Damiano Damiani -Alex l'ariete
the greatest film of all time and space. 5 is too few!!! undisputed masterpiece! more
Ivan Graziani -Viaggi E Intemperie
The golden period of Ivan comes to an end here, after exceptional albums like Pigro and that small merciless gem of I lupi. Ivan manages to drop the powerful trio Isabella on the train-Dada-Syracuse, only to then throw out beautiful ballads like Firenze and Olanda, and especially that splinter of madness called Tutto questo cosa c'entra con il R&R... but this time Ivan's bank doesn't win, both due to poorly crafted lyrics (Radio Londra, even though it has a very powerful rock driving it) and certain arrangements that don't captivate (Angelina). As for the rating, I'd rather not talk about it; I'll just say it's not quite full. more
Alan Sorrenti -L.A. & N.Y.
I think it's one of the ugliest records in the history of Italian music. Gruesome. more
Lucio Dalla -Automobili
Of the trilogy with Roversi, I slightly prefer the first two... but this one remains a masterpiece nonetheless. It would be 5 stars, not completely full, but who cares. more
Franco Battiato -l'egitto prima delle sabbie
with the namesake we had made a monstrous ball, let's add this and make two balls. inaudible, 1. more
Edoardo Bennato -Kaiwanna
a very ambitious album, perhaps too much in some respects. nonetheless, it remains the beginning of the end. 3.5 more
Antonello Venditti -Buona Domenica
a little hat under the fish, but in the end not so much as many say. ah, and "modena" among the 5 best Italian songs of all time. more
Claudio Baglioni -Oltre
probably the only Baglioni work that can be listened to in full... 3.5 and a little bit more more
Zero assoluto
And who could ever give a grade higher than one... if not him, the Master, the Divine, the Supreme trentavoltemegl. You're a genius thirty, they don't understand you here. more
