This Live record is little talked about, mostly known by the band's aficionados. Among the eight total tracks, at least half are some of their most beautiful pieces ever (The National Anthem, Idioteque, I Might Be Wrong, Everything In its Right Place), and it wraps up with the live version of True Love Waits, even better than the recent studio version from A Moon Shaped Pool.
In addition to this, it’s a Live that captures the band during its peak of creative and artistic brilliance, following the Kid A/Amnesiac duo.
A well-deserved maximum rating. more
One of the best rock guitarists around. Magnificent in Asia mark II and Savatage, unsuitable in Megadeth. more
Doolittle is a great album. Disrespectful, devoid of rules and established conventions, irreverent and different, different from everything that was being heard back then. And perhaps it is still heard even now. more
I'm always puzzled to discover how little attention people pay to them, even on this site. Incredible. more
Spectacular! more
When pop is top. more
I’ve been listening to it for years, and it always gives me great emotions, each time different... a unique album. more
The new true face of pop in Italy, nothing but Mengoni. more
The AC/DC of heavy metal, who never truly got what they deserved despite releasing a series of really decent albums between the early '80s and the early '90s. The image of Lips playing with a vibrator instead of a pick will, unfortunately, be etched in my mind for life... more

MONSTROUS guitarist, fabulous singer, great songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, one person worth a whole band! Someone like this deserves to sell at least 145 million records. more

Also known as 'Handsome Peter'. He is the director of 'Verità'. Now, try to say it without laughing. Born in Arcore and educated at the institute of journalism (a little) and ferocity (a lot) in Leipzig, he is quickly noticed by Littorio Feltri, who takes him under his wing, as he is also equipped with a driver's license for the mud machine. Together with Littorio, Aigor Sallusti, Dumbo Ferrara, and Medio Giordano, he forms the infamous Dog pack, reminiscent of Pavlov, a gang of surrogate journalists endowed with partial lobotomy, always ready to throw stones and hide hands; in Belpietro's case, he hides his chin. When necessary, the former premier also uses them as perimeter mastiffs at his villa in Sardinia. His greatest success is the autobiography co-written with Mengele: 'The Most Hated by Italians'. Ah, I remind you that 'La Verità' must be read while shouting, mind you. more
Class to sell, velvet voice but artistic choices too mainstream: enormous potential for an artistically disappointing career in relation to interpretative skills. more
Even if the album were mostly made up of songs from the Zecchino d'Oro, it would still receive the highest rating, being blessed with a song as beautiful as "Tower Song." more
"If you don't know Creedence Clearwater Revival, you might as well consider yourself unacquainted with the grammar of rock, unaware of what rock is, first and foremost: not knowing how it sounds." more
An album composed of an impressive sequence of masterpieces. more
Italian band that moves through ancient and modern grounds, mixing psychedelia with progressive and post-rock, creating a refined and cerebral sound for lovers of both Emerson Lake & Palmer, Pink Floyd, and King Crimson as well as Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, without overlooking healthy doses of Krautrock and derivations mixed with the history of music. more
