Roberto Vecchioni -Montecristo
In the meantime, the artwork of the vinyl is Oscar-worthy. Once again, a very autobiographical album tied to love stories. Musically, there’s a shift towards richer arrangements, with beautifully crafted lyrics as per usual. Personally, it's not among my favorites. more

Beatings on top of more beatings. more
Cannibal Corpse
I may be crazy, but I really like them, and quite a bit. Maybe it's because I adore things that are extremely heavy and violent, but that doesn't matter. more
Mia Martini -Il giorno dopo
A beautiful album of pop and light Italian music, Martini was an extraordinary voice and performer, also quite versatile, and here she is accompanied by great writers (I think of the very early Venditti in "Ma quale amore" or Maurizio Piccoli and the Fabrizio brothers, not to mention Califano and Baldan Bembo) not to mention the excellent choice of (two) covers, which stand out among the highlights of the album, especially "Signora" by Serrat—I adore it, one of Martini's most successful interpretations, a song that has perfectly become hers. Songs like "Bolero," "Minuetto," "La malattia," "Dove il cielo va a finire," or "Picnic" (i.e., "Your Song" by Elton John) to mention the other peaks of the album make "Il giorno dopo" one of the most intense and beautiful Italian pop albums I have ever listened to. A voice and a performer that gives you chills. more

When I listen to them, I feel as if I am in a Scandinavian forest during a winter night. Need anything else? more
Necrodeath
The wicked and violent side of Italian music. more
Mia Martini -Nel mondo, una cosa
Another very beautiful album, the second album by Mia Martini, propelled by the evergreen "Piccolo uomo," which rightfully stands among her most successful songs. Perhaps it doesn't reach the dramatic intensity of her debut nor the pure melodic beauty of "Il giorno dopo," but it remains, for me, only slightly inferior. What elevates this album is especially "Valsinha," the song that Martini seemed to prefer among all those she performed, giving it a truly spine-tingling interpretation (the piece, of course, by Buarque/de Moraes, is a masterpiece in any form it takes). Other splendid songs include "Donna sola," "Questo amore vero," "Amanti," "Tu che sei sempre tu" (chills here too, for lyrics, melody, interpretation, vocal talent), and the cover of "Border Song" by Elton John, with new Italian lyrics that become another foreshadowing of her fate. more
Suicide Silence
Hits upon hits. Hard to digest, but in my opinion really good. more
Fleetwood Mac -Greatest Hits
perfect summary to describe an amazing group!! more
Entombed
Left Hand Path and Wolverine Blues are among the masterpieces of extreme Metal. more
Limp Bizkit
The first three albums are a big hit and not just a little. After that, they lost their way quite a bit, especially thanks to Fred Durst and his adventures. more
Accept
Udo Dirkschneider, a miniature metallurgist with the spirit of a warrior. more
Parov Stelar
I have to thank TIM for introducing me to this guy. An excellent House musician, seventy times better than the nightclub wannabes. more
Type O Negative
Depression set to music. Slow, Deep and Hard and Bloody Kisses, released in 1991 and 1993 respectively, are two albums that still sound wonderful even after a very long time. more
Laibach
Their sound is so industrial and decadent that it’s frightening. Majestic. more
MC 900 Ft Jesus
One of the best Hip Hop musicians of that time; an album like Welcome to my Dream should be heard by all fans of the genre. more
Deicide
Four great albums (Deicide, Legion, Once Upon the Cross, The Stench of Redemption), but also a lot of mediocrity. I won't express my opinion on Glen Benton; I might be too brutal. more
