Perhaps the best album more
Together with 'mio fratello è figlio unico', they are his two main albums. Joy, irony, sound, rhythm, and beautiful lyrics. You couldn't ask for more. more
A terrible headache... more
The rock twist makes her an ordinary singer with no musical qualities. More than an album, this is a muddle lacking imagination and often redundant. more
Usual rhythm and energy but with more popular themes, little imagination, and a certain nostalgia. It is certainly not one of the best albums. more
When an album contains two CDs with the same tracks but created in two different genres, what does it mean? Commercial music made like bread but in a different way? Anyway, the music is pleasant. more
Five stars for life for the Police era, 4 stars for the first four solo LPs up to 1993, where it ranges from good (Soul Cages 1991) to excellent (the remaining three), with the rest being negligible (but with flashes of class here and there) until today, where it earns only 3 stars. Average: 4 more
I posted it and listened again today (I've lost count of how many times I've done it since 1991). And once again, I literally lost myself in a sound that recedes, lowering the volume; soft, insubstantial, cathartic. The rhythm slows down, everything comes to a halt, there are no sharp edges. Fast forward decades now; and the distances that separated us from Spiderland at the time of its release were centuries. A watershed work, just like Nirvana's Nevermind, also crafted in 1991. Both are absolute masterpieces. It's hard to choose the best among these personal monuments. Immense, eternal, unforgettable Slint...WASHER... more
They are essential in a respectable audiotheque. If you can't have more albums, this collection is among the best. more
One of the best and among the last albums before..... more
He has done better, but it is still an interesting album. more
One of the best collections that encompasses her first six albums. more
The Terem quartet
A kind of lute with the use of accordion and balalaika gives life to a melody of Russian origin that becomes increasingly intoxicating and engaging. more
One of the best if not the best collection. more
Romantic, desperate, and even a bit ironic. These elements give life to one of Vasco's best albums. The arrangements are excellent. more
comprehensive and exhaustive! more
A masterpiece of an album of melodies of nostalgia of sounds. Captivating, it reaches right to the heart. A little-known album, recorded in Milan without pretensions, almost for fun, but the result is extraordinary. more
Second album by the Germans Message, a prog-kraut-sticatzi bomb with clear Sabbath influences? Yes?! What matters is that it needs to be listened to. more
It's a cover album. more
A group that has made originality its trademark, capable of touching countless genres with class and mastery. Unfortunately, they're not well known in Italy compared to the usual 4 or 5 British bands, but BOC have nothing to envy to anyone; on the contrary. Personally, I prefer them to other iconic bands of the genre like Led Zeppelin or Deep Purple; I place them on the same level as Black Sabbath and Uriah Heep. However, they have something more, perhaps due to Bloom's esoteric tone, perhaps because of the sometimes Ossianic notes/chords/choruses. I adore all their albums, without exception, and I believe that their less appreciated works should be rediscovered, as I have unfortunately read many comments filled with prejudice. Those who know them from the first to the last song can never get tired of listening to them, and I am one of those. more
