Led Zeppelin
The best band of all time. I don't need any other adjectives to describe them. more
Area
A band that I love and hate at the same time, thank you so much M.B. for pushing me to hate you, your ideas filled with arrogance and presumption, and your beloved Area. more
Led Zeppelin -Presence
The most "metal" album by Led Zeppelin. From the anthology "Achilles Last Stand" (which by the way has the best solo by Jimmy Page!) and "For Your Life". more
Kylie Minogue
One of the most beautiful women ever seen who guessed some songs, In your eyes above all. You shouldn't look at her too much, otherwise you might fall in love. more
Mrs. Magician -Bermuda
Produced by John Reis, 'Bermuda' is the second LP by Mrs. Magician, a band from San Diego that deliberately draws inspiration from 1960s rock and roll, with some influence from 1980s power pop and hints of Elephant 6 sound in the more experimental and psychedelic passages. The album is definitely very listenable and filled with catchy riffs and garage and surf rock sounds. It's quite 'poppy' and at times reminds me of some bands from the so-called neo-wave and post-2000 UK garage/pop scene. Honestly, it didn't excite me much, but of course, we are also talking about my personal musical preferences in listening. more
Mugstar / The Cosmic Dead -Split 12''
Split released in 2014 on 12'' between two of the most esteemed heavy-psych bands in the UK music scene, namely Mugstar and The Cosmic Dead. A meeting of two bands that, after all, have a lot in common and here alternately showcase their skills in the realms of space music and kraut psychedelia. The cover is nice, paying homage to that of 'Goo' by Sonic Youth, the famous one created by Raymond Pettibon of Black Flag and inspired by a photo from 1966 depicting Maureen Hindley and David Smith driving to testify against Myra Hindley and Ian Brady, the two serial killers of the infamous 'Moor Murders'. more
Ramones -Ramones
A very rough debut, without exquisite technique, but what a MASTERPIECE! more
Ryan Coogler -Fruitvale Station
Produced by Forest Whitaker and directed by Ryan Coogler in his feature film debut, it tells the true story of the last day in the life of Oscar Grant (Michael B. Jordan), a twenty-two-year-old African American who was killed by the police in Oakland, California, with a gunshot to the back while handcuffed and after being stopped for no crime. The incident was documented and filmed by numerous people who witnessed the events and recorded what happened, and the event constituted a true scandal, unfortunately being yet another episode of 'gratuitous' violence exerted by US law enforcement, particularly against the African American population. A film that I believe should definitely be seen and that has received numerous well-deserved awards and recognitions. more
Albert Ayler Trio

Alessandro Casillo

RIBALDO
Just a shitman... more
Yes -Tales From Topographic Oceans
Could you please kindly point out some of the highlights within this double, which many consider to be lengthy? more
The Richmond Sluts -Sweet Somethin'
7'' recorded at Toast Studios in San Francisco in 2002 by the garage band Richmond Sluts, released shortly after the release of their self-titled debut LP. It contains only two tracks, 'Sweet Somethin'' and 'Sad City.' Still, it’s a shot of rock'n'roll garage adrenaline. more
Joseph Arthur -The Family
I had first come across this American singer-songwriter with his previous work, 'Lou' (2014), in which he paid tribute in his own way to the great Lou Reed, who had recently passed away. An album that I found, all in all, still worthy of consideration, especially during a moment of particular emotion. I didn't know anything else about him. I read that he was discovered by Peter Gabriel and that he has been on the scene for nearly twenty years, enjoying a certain popularity in the USA. 'The Family' is, however, a pop music album that I consider absolutely forgettable and that certainly does not entice me to delve deeper into his work. The sound is a halfway point between Keane and Mumford & Sons, with some guitar work here and there that does nothing but worsen the situation. Rejected. more
RIBALDO
a legend of the site, 5 is also a bit too few more
Giorgio Canali & Rossofuoco -Giorgio Canali & Rossofuoco
This is Giorgio Canali's second album with Rossofuoco, and in my opinion, the first in which what I consider to be an excellent guitarist and musician finally finds what can be considered his winning formula—one that he will further develop and improve in the works to come. Highlights include 'No pasaran', 'Mostri sotto il letto', and of course above all, 'Precipito', one of the most intense songs from the Italian alternative rock scene of the past decade. more
Beverley Knight -Soulsville
I didn't know this English vocalist of Jamaican descent and I stumbled upon her latest album purely by chance. Well, what can I say, in the end, even though it's definitely a pop album and could be classified within a certain 'mainstream' circuit that I'm not used to frequenting as a listener, I found it very, very listenable and I liked it a lot, so much so that I ended up listening to it repeatedly. The collaborations with Jamie Cullum, Jools Holland, and Sam Moore stand out, but above all – of course – her voice, which is simply fantastic. A pleasant surprise as far as I'm concerned. more
Pantera -The Great Southern Trendkill
Sometimes a masterpiece like "Floods" is not enough to save a mediocre album. more
Korn
With their first 2 albums, they revolutionized the musical blends of the previous years, and then became the parody of a girl group. more
