I believe that Ulysses took less time to reach Ithaca than I did to get to the sea by car yesterday morning. Anyway, this amazing work by the Feats kept me great company during the trip, thank goodness.. more
beautiful debut, moving album more
The origin of the Cult... more
Someone who can turn an old track by the flamboyant Ratt into a semi-masterpiece must be a genius! more
I admit I was counting on it... ironic, romantic, a bit like a piano bar but also with serious themes addressed... then Genoa Blues with De André. Oh well! more
Composer and improviser more
of disarming beauty. From Collage to Contrappunti, I bow at 180 degrees. more
With the skins and the drums he broke, he built the path to climb to paradise. But he wasn't lacking in sensitivity; he was a classical dancer and a lion sitting on a stool. I listen to him and I'm left stunned every time; it feels like someone in the mixing phase is turning up and down the volume of the individual hits in the fills. Pure fantasy, with and without control, it was all the same to him. When you're immense, you improvise, and whatever comes out is brilliant. Thank you, moody helmet, for what you were able to give to everyone, drummers and non-drummers alike. more
Too underrated. more

Keep You In The Dark And So It All Began..." more
At the time, it was regarded as a wasted effort to close the Geffen chapter and was excessively criticized; in my opinion, it is a work that is more than decent, containing all the characteristic elements of Neil Young's musical production. The only note is a somewhat forced use of synthesizers and electronics, which clash a bit with the Crazy Horse sound. more
The plin-plin guitar and the clean solos. What a drag. more
Exceptional! From the first to the last note, those who think otherwise either hate the cover or have never loved rock. And I didn’t even know who Blue Oyster Cult were. more
The example that gangsta rap, which does not mimic Americans, makes sense to exist even in Italy. more
- Where did you go shopping?

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
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
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
"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
Music is a constant "Work in progress" and an insatiable experimentation. A blinding flash of eclecticism and genius, ultimately, unjustifiably underestimated. more
