Milos Forman
What about AMADEUS? Its masterpiece is "Someone Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (which is still a wonderful film), but some people, you know, must appear original at all costs, thinking that this way they'll come across as more cultured than they really are. more
R.E.M. -Reveal
It grows over time; back then, for someone like me who loves it madly, it didn't fully convince me.
As I age, I notice and appreciate details that I couldn't even imagine back then, let alone grasp.

The work on sound and production is fantastic, incredible. What seems to be missing are those diverse "perfect" tracks that fill an entire LP, as we had been accustomed to for years. However, there are still three or four fantastic songs, and fortunately, nothing is hidden. more
David Bowie -David Live
Reinvented as the alien, Bowie transforms into an elegant entertainer with a new band and soul arrangements from across the ocean. Too many horns and too many choral overlaps, and Slick's guitar seems less impactful than the fantastic Ronson. As a first live performance, Bowie could have chosen better. more
Man or Astro-man?
"Men or Astro-men? That is the dilemma."
The second most famous line from Shakespeare's Hamlet, after the one you already know.
Maybe. more
Todd Rundgren
Music is a constant "Work in progress" and an insatiable experimentation. A blinding flash of eclecticism and genius, ultimately, unjustifiably underestimated. more
Nirvana -Nevermind
There probably isn't a better album of the decade above all and everyone, but I definitely have a clear idea of which one is the most overrated. That said, Territorial Pissings is also a great track. more
Lambchop -I Hope You're Sitting Down / Jack's Tulips
Few times have Classic and Modern been so complementary as in this case. more
Jethro Tull -Catfish rising
Good album. The same applies here as what I wrote in the case of "Rock Island": it's one of the albums I bought out of pure collector's interest. more
Jethro Tull -Rock Island
Good album. It's part of the list of records I've purchased purely for collecting interest. more
Jethro Tull -Benefit
Absolutely orgasmic music: it has been in my CDs for quite some time now; I could listen to it from start to finish without ever stopping. more
Paramore -Riot!
Absolutely amazing album! more
Lou Reed -Magic and Loss
He said:
"The album is titled MAGIC AND LOSS and not MAGIC AND DEATH... the album does not talk about death, but about loss."
Illness, death, mourning, losing loved ones, returning to everyday life. Heavy themes for a beautiful album! more
Premiata Forneria Marconi -Per un amico
Dreamlike, poignant, melancholic, refined. Among the top five, perhaps three, albums of my life. No academia, just poetry, distant echoes of a time that is no more, soundscapes that fade into the depths of the soul. more
Gregg Allman
The great frontman of my all-time favorite band has left us. Thank you for everything, Gregg. Say hi to your brother and Berry for us... more
Mötley Crüe -Shout At The Devil
Shout-shout-shout SHOUT AT THE DEVIL... more
Stevie Wonder -Songs in the Key of Life
a double that could be, how lovely, its greatest hits. more
