Among Faber's top five works, and among the first 25-30 records of Italian singer-songwriter music. Beautiful, perhaps his peak from the seventies (it's on par with the previous one). more
It never drove me crazy too much; I find it one of his less powerful albums, along with the next one and the one before the last. "Minù Minù" and "Lucetta fra le stelle" are the most successful tracks, even though, of course, they don't come anywhere near his masterpieces. It barely makes the cut. more
Italian Pop Masterpiece more
The beginning of the end for Vasco Rossi; from here on he will start making albums in which only half can still be saved. A phase that will last until 1996 inclusive, then... more
MASTERPIECE! more
Among the greatest of recent Italian singer-songwriters. more
One of the most unworthy offspring of art ever. more
Almost believable with the first two albums. Crapped out and completely adrift for about fifteen years. 1.5 by default. more
Apart from the fact that musically it's terrible (actually, worse), I don't see all this coolness. Bah!... more
"Exotomy, IBM-action, de-chloro-de-phenylketone, essedi-ethylation, have given birth to programming" more
Extraordinary record, but the previous "Pollution", as far as I'm concerned, is slightly better. From the following one until around '78, he won't get it right. more
As far as I'm concerned, De Gregori's penultimate album is a masterpiece. Its peak marked in the 80s (along with the subsequent EP), containing wonderful gems: in addition to the more well-known title track, "Caterina" and "La leva calcistica...", also "Belli capelli" and the (alas) forgotten "San Lorenzo". A full 5. more
Among Renato's best albums, but not the best. In fact, "Mi vendo" is one of those big classics that could be a bit overplayed, but aside from that, there are excellent tracks, with "Vivo" and "Il cielo" standing out (the latter is also a classic, but it remains a beautiful song). 4.5 more
Zazzarazzazz... zazzarazzazz... more
A grand debut for the prince, clearly better than the previous "split" with Venditti. So poetic, yet at the same time so hermetic. Aside from the title track, which we all know well, there are other wonderful pieces like "Le strade di lei," "Saigon," "Buonanotte fratello," and "Marianna al bivio." Rating 9. more
Great author and good musician. Too bad he's as likable as a lizard in your underwear. more
Another masterpiece from the Dalla-Roversi duo, but the absolute peak will be reached with the next one. more
They were truly giants. How sad to think about what Renga has become... more
Absolutely one of the best American bands (and songwriter) of all time. Great sound and great songs! more
Aside from the title track, "Proibito" and "Il volo," it doesn't seem like an exceptional album as I remembered. It will get slightly better with the next two, then goodbye Litfiba. more
