They are great
Listen to them closely more
"Foxtrot," "Selling England by the Pound," "Trespass," "Nursery Cryme," "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway"... 5 for life. more
A great one. And like 90% of greats, underrated. more
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
"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
the real Lucio ends here. then there will be "canzone," "ciao," duets at Sanremo, canzonette for/with the boyfriend and the singing company. more
"the swallows", "communist", "beautiful", "2009 the cicadas and the stars", "open your heart"....ok, nice tracks. the rest is bland. 3 stretched stars. 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
without appeal. the track "ciao" is terrifying. more
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
The papers were all in order... too bad about how it turned out. more
Among the greatest bands in the history of rock, no doubt about it. They haven't done anything wrong. more
The rankings are ridiculous, but this guy is up there among the greatest of all time.
You don't know him?! Madoooooooooo 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
Present in my record collection in both Mono and Stereo versions. What can I say? A piece of History. A great piece of History. Period. more
