Not bad but overly hyped by the super snobby environments. I prefer Loudness. more
5 essentially for the integral "the lamb" live. And who cares about Hackett's overdubs and Gabriel's re-recorded parts, the live is stunning! more
AND WHAT THE HELL! more
A beautiful album by a boy of Russian origins, specifically Lithuanian, but back then people still spoke of the tsar's domains, who was also of Jewish descent and showed early talent from a young age. His family, upon arriving at Ellis Island, underwent the process of “Americanization” of their surname. What was Kaplan in Russia became Copland with a stroke of the pen. And that boy, in accordance with Jewish tradition, bore the name of the high priest Aaron, Americanized to Aaron. And with that name, Aaron Copland, he would go down in history. So much to discover... more
The long-awaited "reunion" became a reality in 1998 with "Psycho Circus." Paul, Gene, Ace, and Peter were back together after 19 years since their last time. Although Frehley and Criss do not appear on every track, the album is a concentrated dose of Rock N Roll like we hadn’t heard in a while from Kiss (excluding Revenge). Just the opening title track is enough to kick the balls of the entire 80s production (post "Lick It Up") of the band. more
Rock for people who don’t love rock. more

Okay, a great guitarist and some decent songs. However, I’ve spent my life trying to stay away from those. more

the best Italian pop album of the new millennium, his best! more
a somewhat unsuccessful attempt to reconcile a work that aimed to be very rock, influenced by the fashions of the 80s, a bit Camerinian. more
They should have disbanded after Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son, instead..... more
Album with ethereal and rarefied atmospheres, magically suspended between classical music, pop, and new age in "a gray area," as Joe Jackson himself described at the time of the album's release:
"The most interesting music lives in a gray area that straddles all genres and where there is a continuous crossover of pop and classical music. It is seldom discussed because the music industry has yet to find a suitable label to define this type of offering." more

A record that brings a lot of joy. I use it with my patients when I'm wearing my psychiatrist's outfit. Sometimes I use it to take off the straitjacket. more
The album showcases the side of Tom Waits as a great stage entertainer. In this first live record (featuring only unreleased tracks), he jokes with the audience, engages in ironic and entertaining skits, goofs around, and when it’s time to sing, he does so like a god. This side of him will become increasingly evident until it bursts forth in the theater of Frank's Wild Years and the concert-film "Big Time" at the end of the '80s, not to mention his dignified acting career. A truly unique live recording made in a small studio with a bit of audience present in the recording room, witnessing this intimate concert from a wonderfully flamboyant Waits. And then, referencing Edward Hopper is the cherry on top. This album is a little classic, significant in Waits' artistic journey. more
In those days, it was a true revolution. I bought the Diaco as soon as it came out, in '74, and it was immediately clear to me that these guys had invented something truly new. We were immersed in a constant flow of progressive sounds dripping from all sides, and Supertramp made us lose our virginity, dragging us for a moment to the border of art pop... Ah, what times!... more
They have never convinced me. more
