A huge jerk, but it is impossible for me not to thank him for eternity for bringing out masterpieces with a capital M like "Rising" and "Bent Out Of Shape." more
If they were Italian and called "attrezzo," they would suck for you too. Overrated like few others. more
With the hole, it signs the greatest prison escape movie of all time. more
A few days ago, I revisited this outstanding second album by Heep, which I’ve always considered one of their peaks. More refined than the debut, it showcases a great variety of styles, ranging from pure hard rock to the sweetest acoustic ballads, culminating in the eponymous track, an anthology-worthy hard/prog/jazz piece. An album among the highlights of English rock of the era... more
Despite their originality, I always enjoy listening to them, and the early albums are good. Derivative, but with style. more
An album that departs from their previous productions due to its more "heavy" vein, but it deserves a lot. (4.5) more
Arranged pieces of immortal freshness. With every listen, they seem more and more modern compared to today, where the number of bands making music can be counted on one hand. more
three albums more beautiful than the other more
They've written some good songs, but the rest is embarrassing. The Manowar of Power Metal. more
Aesthetically, they draw from KISS, cleverly mixing a religious attitude with powerful music that is (strangely, given the genre) never banal. One of the greatest promises for modern Power Metal. more
Despite the few albums and the lack of continuity, it certainly deserves 4 stars. Unfortunately, after the third album, he retired only to re-emerge in the 1990s with the last great album "Ahoh yé nanà". A starting point for Lucio Battisti to launch the new course. more
Someone who calls himself The Master. For me, that's enough to judge him. And if we add that hodgepodge of elephant tranquilizers that are his songs... more
He is generally unbearable, but I've always been quite fond of 1950. more

One of the greatest American modernist composers of the last century (even though he composed a lot of music in the years following 2000, well into his 90s), music that is quite challenging, yet very personal and intriguing. It deserves a listen. more
I can't stand them, they've always gotten on my nerves... more
Great band! more
Great album from 1993 with the active collaboration of Robert Wyatt and his voice. "Happy Land" and "Kingdom" perhaps a notch above the other tracks. more
