Stunning. I liked it from the start, but I've greatly reassessed it after recently learning it on the piano. Beautiful emphatic chords (especially the last four under the repeated invocation of the title), inventive rhythm, heart-wrenching vocal harmonies (particularly along the bridge "...nobody listens when you're singing the blues..."), a spectacular beginning with the sudden grace note on the Dm7 setup, the usual short but brilliant, melodic sax solo... perfect! more

A good rock album. Not the best by Bugo, nor the best rock album ever, but still a good record. Noteworthy is the version of "Nel giro giusto" featured at the beginning of the album, especially in the vinyl version. more
A singer-songwriter with his own personality, outside the loop of commercial music, outside the loop of indie musicians, outside the loop of major record labels, outside the loop. If he asks to be let into your circle, don’t open up to him, otherwise you’ll end up getting attached and then arguing about it. For some, he’s too angry, for others, not angry enough; for some, he’s too strange, for others, not strange enough (compared to when he started), for some, he can’t do anything original and copies aa.vv. (e.g. Jon Spencer, Celentano, Vasco, Oasis, Beck), a bit different depending on the album, while for others, his songs have a well-defined and personal style. In short, if you understand anything, give me a call. more
A simply beautiful album, it caught my attention in my trusted record store with that particular photo printed on the cardboard cover. I asked the shopkeeper, who didn't know it well either; it's already strange that a copy of this record made its way to Italy, to my small town. I've ruined it from playing it so much, and there's no point in making the usual comparisons with the old lions of American folk-rock to which it seems to draw inspiration. more
American singer-songwriter and musician, he produces music suited for long solitary journeys on the dusty roads of the western States. more
The last great album by Stratovarius with Tolkki in the lineup. After the tour for the album, Tolkki's health and mental issues came increasingly to light, releasing the two decent Elements in 2003, and then the horrible self-titled one in 2005. Nonetheless, Infinite is a more than enjoyable album, with great tracks like Hunting High And Low, Mother Gaia, Glory Of The World, or the Titletrack, all supported by an excellent production. Of course, maintaining the standards of Episode, Visions, and Destiny was practically impossible, but still, it's a more than successful record. 3.5. more

The biggest joke in the history of metal music. more
Well, the fortunate version of Stand by Me is acceptable, the homage to Rock'n'roll and one's roots is fine, but the album is absolutely weak and dispensable. more
For goodness' sake, I don’t deny that he has a nice voice, but frankly, I like him about as much as a pufferfish in my underwear, and his songs have honestly never conveyed anything exciting to me. more
one of those albums that gets better with every listen.... An absolute masterpiece of music! more
the favorite disc of my dog when playing frisbee... more
Nino Nardini, known as Georges Achille Teperino and Roger Roger, aka Cecil Leuter, were two prolific composers of soundtracks active in the French market and authors of dozens of records for publishers such as L'Illustration Musicale, Chappel, Musax, etc. Their mastery spans a wide range of genres: vaudeville, jazz, lounge, easy listening, music for large and small orchestras. more
It doesn't give me the impression of great shape... feels a bit cold live! more
"Welcome to the black parade" is probably one of the last great masterpieces in the history of rock. There has been worse, let’s admit it. more
