Peter Gabriel could only dream of a voice like that. more
The most sensitive and "tormented" among all our local singer-songwriters. Who knows how much more he could have given. more
Great artist, too often undervalued/forgotten. more
Overrated, even if it’s still in its good phase. Probably the last good thing produced by Luciano (or at least decent), even though "Certe notti," to be completely honest, really annoyed the hell out of me. more
so much smoke and no roast; 2 for 1 pair of songs between Africa and cabaret more
If after "And you..." it seemed like he wanted to start making decent music, with this album he takes a huge step back. However, it's not completely to be discarded, especially for tracks like "Sisto V" or "Il lago di misurina." As for the rating, I'm torn between a 2 and a 3... let's go with a 3. On a decimal scale, I would give it a 6-/10. more
More than a film, an act of love for the seventh art. Cinema in its essence. An absolute masterpiece. more
Until 1966 it did good things, then the evil! more
In 1983, the ship hit him on the head, and he got dazed himself. more
from Venditti and secrets onwards, it's better to avoid it. perhaps our songwriter who has become more clueless more
period 72-83 one of the greatest Italian artists of all time, with masterpieces like Alice non lo sa, Rimmel, De Gregori, Francesco De Gregori but above all that great album Bufalo Bill. Already from Scacchi e Tarocchi he starts to take hits, but he remains a great artist, at least until Amore nel pomeriggio included. from Pezzi onwards often boring and repetitive, but never unlistenable. more
In the seventies, he was probably the greatest Italian artist. Then, unfortunately, after the beautiful 1983, something broke... for example, Viaggi organizzati is still a decent album, but nothing more (I would give it a solid six), while Bugie starts to venture into the realm of the dreadful. In the nineties, Cambio and Henna still had some good moments (a total of 5-6 dignified tracks, nothing more...), but after that, it was all empty. It's a real shame. From 1996 to 2009, he released dreadful and even worse albums, but his masterpieces remain unforgettable. more
from Air to Children of the Stars. in just 5 years. well more
actually a hidden talent. but well hidden. more
A fantastic album, the pinnacle of the 77-79 trilogy and the best of his entire discography. Title track, "Taglia la testa al gallo," and "Fuoco sulla collina" are the best. more
As far as I'm concerned, the best Battisti was yet to come... but this is still a great album. The lyrics of the title track may be the best thing produced by Mogol. 4.5 more
Shitty joke incoming more
Who doesn't have an Inti Illimani album?!? more
It's tougher than your husband. more
The best Battiato from the experimental trilogy '72-'73. The standout tracks are the title track, "Plancton," and "Areknames." more
