Sora Rosa
But is it possible that this man was writing songs like this at 14, and now he’s feeding us crap that would make even Biagio Antonacci blush? Infinite sadness... more
Benji & Fede
A great singer and a great guitarist, what a great duo! more
Piera Manzi
Certo! Inviami il testo e procederò con la traduzione. more
Piero Ciampi
For him, I have nothing more to say... 5 is enough, no discussion. more
Questa Storia
Martello

Martello: Questa Storia Traccia 06 in Questa Storia Album - 12 november 2005

Nothing, the lovers of Battisti bianco need to hear it. The arrangement was handled by Lucio himself, so it's truly phenomenal, and the lyrics by Panella are breathtaking. As they say, "chi nasconde le perle nella sabbia vole che qualche grullo scavi per trovarla." more
Alan Sorrenti
The implicit recipient of Marco Bellocchio's latest film. more
Jovanotti
I, unlike many, have always “preferred” (so to speak) the early Jovanotti. At least he was sincere and, in his own way, genuine. For at least 25 years now, trying to be a socially conscious songwriter, he has become more unappealing and annoying than ever. more
Antonello Venditti -Goodbye Novecento
If I think of all his discography up to "Sotto la pioggia" and then to this colossal crap, it makes me want to cry. Even Baglioni managed to do better during that period. more
Vasco Rossi
He is a great man, much greater than the many useless and insignificant haters who judge him here based on hearsay, maybe from TV. Ignorance is a terrible beast. He is a pride of Italian Rock. An example of Italian spirit. more
Brunori sas -Cip!
Targa Tenco 2020...it's acceptable. It's not a masterpiece, but it's a nice album. 3.5 more
Jovanotti -Oh, Vita!
Fi fi, it's really a tough situation! more
Massimo Di Cataldo
A star just to ask you for some clarification on the criteria behind the Debaser rankings. I mean, how come this guy and Malgioglio are part of the top 100 of Italian music? more
Tim Buckley -Tim Buckley
It's definitely an album of "teenage" songs. But these are "teenage" songs that ooze purity and sincerity, in addition to being beautifully arranged (thanks to Van Dyke Parks) and sung divinefully. 4 deserved stars. more
Anna
Nothing new. Unfortunately. For the older ones, we wait for its male counterpart which, with a bit of luck, will be called Marco. more
Enzo Jannacci -30 anni senza andare fuori tempo
A live monument. The title is LOVE ME AND DEFLATE ME! more
Tony Levin
The only "mercenary musician" worthy of five stars. more
Joe Sarnataro e I Blue Stuff -E' asciuto pazzo 'o padrone
An extraordinary touch of class. Finally, Edo manages to bounce back and regains top marks. The value would be 4.5, but I'll gladly give him that extra half point. more
equiVoci -Sinceramente Non Tuo
One shouldn't make a white person sing Battisti if they haven't even listened to him. I know better with my barbaric MIDI... no, I'm not just saying that, I really know they're better. more
SCALA H
Marco Merli, the singer of Scala H, is a raging river. A stream of consciousness, sometimes dreamy and pure like a child, almost always sweet like a delicious vanilla ice cream on a summer night with your first girlfriend, at times introspective and melancholic. Each song, each window that Marco and his Scala H open for us, resonates with lightness, purity, innocence, a simple world that we know hides dangers. But dangers don't concern Marco and the Scala H. Everything eventually unfolds, and a sun emerges that they already knew was there, behind the clouds, to warm us without fail. "Finestre" is all this and more. But above all, it is light, it is a thirst for life. A life made of simple things, narrated with hyperbolic, refined lyrics and sunny music, sometimes bittersweet, but most of the time, rays of light in pleasantly blinding notes. more
Francesco Guccini -Stanze Di Vita Quotidiana
Underrated, in my opinion one of his best.. more
