A great one. And like 90% of greats, underrated. more
Francesco De Gregori -Mira mare 19.4.89
bohhh
it actually suffers from a few arrangements that are a bit too pompous, but in the end, it's not bad at all. A solid 4 stars. more
Antonello Venditti -In Questo Mondo Di Ladri
bohhh
"remember me," "21 ways to say I love you," "what a beautiful sunny day," "running running"... okay, nice tracks.
"in this world of thieves," "legendary love," "Cristina's birthday," "mirages"... let's not even go there.
Of course, compared to its direct predecessor (and everything that will come...) it becomes an absolute masterpiece, but in the end, it's an album like many others: nice, with several good/excellent tracks and a bunch of fillers... 3 stretched stars. more

Okay, tastes are tastes, but 1 and 2 for Bob, not really. Just "Blonde on Blonde" and "Highway 61" are enough for the 5. Some missteps, but forgivable. more

Nothing to say about the name, but shall we not expand a bit too much? And then, we don’t even include Cohen? more

Trilogy '85-'89 extraordinary, three albums each more beautiful than the last (especially "17 Re"). Also interesting are "El Diablo" from '90 and "Terremoto" from '93, then arriving in '95 at the beginning of the end with "Spirito," which is still listenable. But from "Mondi Sommersi" in '97 onwards, completely useless production: "Infinito" ('99) is one of the ugliest albums in the history of humanity. So, on average: 5 up to '89, 4 up to '93, 3 up to '96, and a flat 1 after that. Rating: 3.5. more

Underrated. It's not just "Ancora," actually. So many great tracks and a dignity that many more famous singer-songwriters could only dream of. The arrangements of his live jazz interpretations from recent years are excellent. more

A sort of Scandinavian Aerosmith with a glam-metal twist (which they anticipated). In my opinion, they rank high on an imaginary list of the most underrated rock bands. Sure, in Finland, they are stars, but what about elsewhere?! ..Great! more

5? "lusitania", title track, "lunario di settembre", "italians of Argentina", "confession of alonso chisciano". Yes, I would say exactly 5. more

Edoardo Bennato -Se son rose fioriranno

It seems like an attempt to replicate what was done in the 70s. Obviously, a failed attempt. I would only salvage a few ideas... for the rest, the downward trend continues sadly. I would give it a 1.5, which I round up. more

It's a transitional album, and as such, it can either be greatly appreciated or convey little to nothing. I fall into the second category. more

Great albums until 1975 ("Tumbleweed Connection" above all), then he would have a less sharp but still valid period until 1978. From 1979 until around 2000, he alternated a few good albums with too many - way too many - absurd flops, before completely bouncing back in 2001 (the year of "Songs from the West Coast"). Average? 4.5. more
