Natalie Imbruglia -Left Of The Middle
A good album played and sung well. more
Adriano Celentano -Io Non So Parlar D'Amore
The sound quality is really good. Arranged and mixed well, in short, it’s a good album, one of his best in recent years. more
Mike Oldfield -Tubular Bells
You need a sound system of a certain caliber to fully appreciate the miraculous work behind this great album. It never ceases to amaze and never gets old. more
Claudio Lolli
One to rediscover... Bourgeoisie, I also saw some happy gypsies, let's say his '70s, without neglecting the rest. I'll add Villeneuve too. On March 28, for the 70th anniversary of his birth, I did a marathon. Yes, I give it 4 stars, it deserves them. Even the last one, "Il grande freddo," has a certain depth. more
Greenslade
Second-tier group of English progressive rock. They have nonetheless reached impressive heights with their first two albums. Every now and then, you find some scattered naiveté here and there in their platters, but they remain a respectable niche band that deserves to be mentioned a bit more often when discussing Prog. more
Natalie Cole -Unforgettable: With Love
The album showcases the sound capabilities of a great voice, but with twenty-two tracks, it becomes tiresome to listen to towards the end. It sold very well. more
Dire Straits -Brothers in arms
Even for those who are not fans of the band, it’s hard not to appreciate and admire this album. A masterpiece that never gets old. more
Gov't Mule -Life Before Insanity
Southern Rock, but in this album not definable more
Claudio Baglioni
Meeting those to whom we will teach what we learned together and never understand what it is, if it really happened, that eternal moment that isn’t there... THOUSAND DAYS OF YOU AND ME... more
Morgan
I love it. more
Chris Ware -Jimmy Corrigan, il ragazzo più in gamba sulla terra
A remarkable comic, a true discovery. The story of a thirty-six-year-old flabby and maladjusted man attempting to rebuild his relationship with his father, both characters dysfunctional and tinged with misogyny and racism. The techniques with which the narrative is woven are remarkable, very "stream of consciousness," with various digressions from the main events and the characters' daydreams, where the most repressed instincts and impulses of the human soul are vented, as well as the parallelism with another story, another dysfunctional father-son relationship involving Jimmy's great-grandfather and grandfather. A fairly demanding read due to the dense use of the table, the numerous graphic and visual inventions, but extremely rewarding; at first, the graphical and narrative setup can repel and frustrate, but once the mechanism is understood, the story and involvement take flight, offering genuinely touching moments. more
Morgan
Distinctly departed in the Bluvertigo trilogy, something good even afterwards, including in the covers.
But it doesn’t reach three stars due to excessive arrogance and self-referentiality.
Today 50 years. more
Laura Pausini
This one doesn't sing. This one screams, squawks. You can say anything about her, but not that she sings. more
Michele Zarrillo
5 to Zarrillo the musician, -1 to Zarrillo the singer. Average 2. more
Lucio Dalla
Up until Henna, truly a giant, untouchable. Then from Canzoni onwards, he started to repeat himself a bit, but he always composed honest stuff. more
Joyce and Banda Maluca -Just a Little Bit Crazy
Well recorded and mixed, but the songs are nothing special, the same old tunes. more
Sanremo 20-20 (70 anni di musica ITAGLIANA)
24 "big", of which a maximum of 4 are worthy of the name; a competition that becomes a backdrop to the monologues and dances and not the other way around; 9 women (too many), of whom 2 are worthy of stepping on that stage (the names? Emma D'Aquino and Antonella Clerici). Guests taking up too much space (Ferro, Fiorello, Benigni). NO INTERNATIONAL GUESTS! The most international was Zucchero! Songs of relatively low quality, both compared to previous editions and to music outside of Sanremo in the last 20 years. In short, a transitional edition. It was the 70th edition, it should have been a celebration of the past, of great names, instead it turned into a festival of boredom, controversy, and bad taste. The only positive aspect is learning from the mistakes of this festival so we can try again, perhaps still with Amadeus, who I personally did not mind, next year, but reducing the quantity in favor of quality. more
Bruce Springsteen -Greatest Hits
One of the best collections, it's a shame it doesn't sound well, the tracks have different volumes, they haven't been normalized. more
Manowar
The most grotesque group in Metal. In the promotional photos, they look styled to perform at a Nazi-Gay-pride. I tried listening to some of their historic albums: Indigestible. The most obtuse and vulgar metal I've ever heard. The Metallica and Iron Maiden in comparison are Paganini. more
