While waiting for a new Rock revolution, I'm more than happy to settle for small updates or evolutions. A reference-laden album to the core: MBV, J&MC, Sonic Youth, Joy Division, The Cure, NIN, Stooges, Big Black, Cramps, and Gun Club—some in massive doses, others in hit-and-run fashion, but all recognizable. When the outcome is such, long live the Revival. A round of applause for the production. more
Very nice some songs here and there, but the rest always left me feeling empty. A kind of Foo Fighters a bit buried just to remind us that before, Josh was kicking ass in Kyuss. more
The little I know is powerful and it amuses me, so I'll give it a 3 stretched-out, on trust; in Airbourne, the classic (sleep-inducing) pauses between one chord and another of the ACDC riffs are much less present, consequently, I prefer the students to the masters. more
B O S S!! more
band in great shape more
After ten minutes, I almost committed suicide! more
The evergreen version of Ricchi e Poveri. Mamma mia, now even dogs are singing it, there must be a reason. Good at dancing and singing, a bit less so at composing. more
A great singer-songwriter, a renovator of genres that there will be few of. Piazza Grande, 4 marzo 43, Anna e Marco, L'anno che verrà...and I’ve only mentioned the most famous ones. It’s a shame about the last period being a bit "banal," so to speak. But he really left us so much. more
Best page to retreat to every time I read some bullshit about them. more
Indeed, a fairy tale!! more
the story of the Sabbath comes to a fitting close...great live, great God more

"Performance is not an illusory copy of reality, nor is it its imitation. It is not a series of conventions accepted like a role-playing game, performed in a separate theatrical reality. The actor does not act, does not imitate, or pretend. He is himself." more
"I will laugh my bitter laugh" more
For as little as I appreciate and know about rap, Eminem definitely has something to say. It's a whole other thing compared to certain idiot wannabes from Italy or England. more
A bit strange as characters, but the blues rock is solely and exclusively theirs. True "gentlemen," except for Knopfler's criminal face. more
Who is Vasco Rossi? An old, disheveled mental case, high as a kite, without a voice, doesn’t play anything and coughs into the microphone. A few fantastic songs ("Vita spericolata," "Stammi vicino," and "Sally") compared to a production that borrows heavily from any rock singer-songwriter, from Ruggeri to Finardi. more
The voice, if it comes to that, doesn't drive me crazy either, and for what it thinks and says, it should be eliminated. But it has made certain songs that sometimes I get a crazy urge to listen to. more
A dignified artist, the soul of a blues that is at times very commercial and often plagiarized, but overall I respect him and listen to him much more willingly, at least during his golden period, than the various Ramazzotti & company. more
Bleach is extraordinary, Nevermind feels massively overrated to me. As for the rest, I think they are one of the most inflated, commercial, and unbearable bands in history. more
