For two decades, they did nothing but chase the trends of the moment. First hard rock and glam rock, with some shades of progressive rock, then the horrendous shift towards disco music and its ilk, culminating in Innuendo, perhaps one of their most honest and most successful works. At the very least, they are quite recognizable and can boast a handful of beautiful songs. more
Peter Bardens' second solo album, his last solo work before Camel, is as valid as the previous "The Answer," not a masterpiece but a quality record that skillfully alternates ballads and lighter pieces with more upbeat rock-blues tracks where Bardens unleashes himself on the keyboards (primarily Hammond), showcasing all his talent along with a notable sense of rhythm and groove. We are talking about a musician already on the path to artistic maturity, who had honed his skills in the '60s with Them and in various other less fortunate subsequent projects. Tracks like "Write my Name in the Dust," "My House," or "Tear Down the Wall" are worth the price of this lovely album (which I will indeed try to get on CD). What came after this album, well... that's history. more

A failed male model with the voice of a drunken priest, a poor copy of John Lennon playing the accordion, and two other guys who, according to sources, are supposed to play the guitar and drums. Sure, with that voice and that accordion, every now and then, listening to them feels like being at mass. But it's also true that for their time, they were exceptional musicians. more
Among the most overrated artists of all time. Decent first ten years, then complete silence for fifty years. I still wonder how one can praise a song like "Satisfaction," which probably has the most basic riff in history. more

This 1989 work marked his return to the scene after a (forced) withdrawal-exile, driven by "Almeno tu nell'universo," definitely not one of my favorites by Mimì. The album is absolutely enjoyable and of good quality but undoubtedly inferior to the glories of the '70s and even to the subsequent "La mia razza." Some of the best songs were written for him by Enzo Gragnaniello ("Donna" and "Strade che non si inventeranno mai da sole," where we find a wonderful guitar solo by Gragnaniello himself), in my opinion, his best songwriter from the '89-'94 period. Other nice tracks include "Amori," "Notturno," and the retrieval of "Agapimù," a song from 1974 (already on "E' proprio come vivere") which here clearly becomes my favorite of the album in question, beautiful. A dignified and pleasant work overall, with a few scattered gems here and there. more

If you think you’ve ever heard something sweet, poignant, emotional in your life and you haven’t listened to this record, make up for it immediately.... "O" caresses you, cuddles you, empathetically massages your soul. And after listening, you feel divine! more
