A strange singer, he has alternated great things (which are still overshadowed by suspicions of plagiarism) with monstrous crap. As a character, he is comparable to an old drunkard from a social club. more
The group I grew up with, impossible not to love... Exquisite technique and always irreverent, brilliant lyrics. They've really gone downhill in recent years, with television appearances and a musical quality that lacks the originality of the past. Still one of the best acts in the Italian scene, though. more
Great comedian, I have always followed him with interest... As a "politician," I share many of his battles (not all), even though he often doesn't seem to be a paragon of consistency. Certainly, if I have to choose, I still prefer him to the other "politicians" out there (it doesn't take much, huh...). more
Little songs, but listenable little songs. more
Paolo Tarsi has participated in performances and installations at contemporary art museums and galleries such as MAXXI (Rome), MUSMA (Matera), and the Visual Arts Centre 'Pescheria' (Pesaro). Specializing in composition under Oscar winner Luis Bacalov, he plays with guitarist Paolo Tofani in the AREA Open Project and has worked with musicians from the current electronic, jazz, and rock scenes. His musicological studies have appeared in specialized journals and focus particularly on the music of the second half of the twentieth century, the relationships between music and other art forms, and the influence of avant-garde movements on pop languages. He writes for “Il Giornale della Musica,” "Alfabeta2," and “Artribune.” Since 2010, he has been part of the Argo group, with which he publishes a series of collective novels (over time, personalities such as Edoardo Sanguineti, Marina Abramović, Wu Ming, Michela Murgia, Erri De Luca, Aldo Nove, Paolo Nori, Antonio Rezza, and Flavia Mastrella have collaborated with Argo). In 2015, he published for Trovarobato Parade "Dream in a landscape" - dedicated to John Cage and Marcel Duchamp - in collaboration with the electronic duo Fauve! Gegen A Rhino (with whom he was a guest at the 2015 edition of the roBOt Festival in Bologna) and the album "Furniture Music For New Primitives," which included musicians from groups such as Area - International POPular Group, Calibro 35, Junkfood, Afterhours, Le luci della centrale elettrica, and others. more

They have released only two albums: the self-titled debut and especially "Different Shades Of Beauty," which was published in 2008. Jennifer's ethereal, otherworldly voice merges with a melancholic and delicate sound. Velvety Dream Pop that brings them close to the sonic wonders of the unattainable and unforgettable Cocteau Twins...Falling From Grace... more
Another thieving clown, tax evader, and bankrupt in the realm of Italian "football." more
Great album, intriguing sounds, excellent guests, and the usual magnificent interpretation by Keenan. But it definitely could have taken more risks. more
Ok, Fiumani isn't a monster of guitar technique, and sure, he's not flawless in singing, but his songs shake you from within. more

Musically, S.F. Sorrow marks an important point of contact between post-beat experiences and the birth of psychedelia. Ultimately, it's an album that is not only extraordinarily important from a historical perspective but certainly rich, vibrant, magnetic, and multifaceted. An unrepeatable masterpiece that masterfully combines experimentation and melody, prog tendencies and catchiness, enchanting and provoking reflection while ruthlessly reminding us of the transience of human existence, coldly governed by chance. more
I don't understand the criticism. It's true that this isn't the usual Stones who were attracted by the rise of psychedelic rock back in the day, but it's still one of the band's best productions, even if it's not for everyone. The lukewarm reception led Jagger and the others to shelve this type of sound. Beggars Banquet is indeed more accessible, as well as the historic manifesto of the band. more
Probably one of the best albums ever, not just in prog. The blend is unique, between the chilling experimentalism of "Insurgentes," the eclectic jazz of "Grace for Drowning," and a songwriting that is as poetic and evocative as ever. The story of the raven is certainly the most stirring, but the others also depict characters with a lyricism and a stunning dramatic quality. Even the cover is a masterpiece. more
Beautiful album of effervescent rock, intriguing yet always elegant and well-crafted. more
The discovery album: Metallica discover they have a commercial talent, and Hetfield realizes he is a great songwriter. The quality, unfortunately, is very heterogeneous: some masterpieces (few), many excellent tracks, and others among the worst ever released. more
"No Code" is certainly one of the compositional peaks of Pearl Jam. Of course, when compared to the first 3 albums, it falls short, but a slight decline after 3 masterpieces is also justifiable. However, from here on, the band will have fewer and fewer ideas, leading to the release of albums that are not quite up to the name (except for "Yield")... more
How cool, a modern singer! I'm giving him a chance to show off my great musical culture, without even having heard a song. more
