For me, the best emo band of that time. I find The Power of Failing to be superior even to the best works of Sunny Day Real Estate. more
In closing of the beautiful trilogy inaugurated a couple of years earlier. The professor here shifts to a greater intimacy from a lyrical point of view: the magnificent final trio ("For an Old Child," "Song for Sergio," but above all "The Last Show") is the most striking example of this. The title track marks his first major success, thanks to the Crazy Horse. more
One of the most memorable works of Italian singer-songwriter music, on par with the previous one. A blend of poetry, literature, and social commitment. 10 gems, each one better than the last. Musically at exceptional levels (just think of "Velazquez," almost a tribute to Neil Young). Arthur Rimbaud. more
An absolute masterpiece of Italian songwriting. Six magnificent and poetic tracks, the result of an incredibly inspired professor. There it remains, "Tutta la vita in giorno," a fun and charming experiment, but it does not detract at all from the value of the album. History. more
Often inconsistent and extremely critical, although many things sway reason to his side. His music doesn’t please everyone. But he has shown that he can compose decent and listenable stuff. De Gustibus... more
Among the most sophisticated of Guccini's albums. It occupies an uncomfortable position in the discography of this artist, namely between Radici and Via Paolo Fabbri 43. Nevertheless, Canzone delle osterie di fuori porta has made history and remains one of the artistic peaks of Francesco's production... more
Just listening to the introduction is enough to catch a whiff of salty air! Just Riding The Storm makes you want to buy it. Then, besides the other gems, Battle of Waterloo kicks off the process of patriotic themes that will further develop from Masquerade onwards. A must-have! more
The best power metal album ever! Listening to it makes you think that Hansen made the right choice in leaving Helloween! His musical project remains superior to the early albums of his Teutonic peers! You have to listen to believe! more
Wonderful!!!! more
I had called him the Italian Ozzy Osbourne... well, I'm going from a 3 to a 2. I'm lowering ratings in general. more
Howard's writings revisited in full symphonic extremism. The most beautiful keyboard works ever written by this band. more
The previous album by the English band "Sounds Of The Universe" had quite disappointed me; I was eagerly waiting for their new album in 2013. And I must say that this time, while not reaching the heights of their masterpieces from the nineties, I was able to reaffirm my utmost esteem for Martin, Dave, and Andy. A "clever" and mature work composed by Depeche Mode, with that sound so recognizable from the very first notes of the opening single "Heaven"...SOOTHE MY SOUL... more
I love. I love. Love. I love. I love you. You are the people I love the most. more
A composer unable to write bad music. A brilliant talent that unfortunately faded a bit too soon. more
They have released definitely better albums, but here we also find noteworthy tracks like "Everybody Wants Some!!," "Fools," "Romeo Delight," "Take Your Whiskey Home"... more
A little over half an hour of great Hard Rock... It doesn't reach the heights of the debut, but overall it's a great album!! (I notice that the site has put the definition for Van Halen III, even though I clicked on Van Halen II) more
A very introspective album, unlike what "Sledgehammer" and "Big Time" might suggest. It’s just him, the production is his, and on the cover, he appears without makeup or styling against a white background, with the album title, "So," an interjection in Gabriel's conversations, something that finally allows us to fully delve into his depths. Breathing in Gabriel's emotions in this album will surely give you goosebumps... more
Incredible is the depth of this album, the rhythm of warmth echoing in the highly innovative sounds for the time, the production is deadly. One of the best records of the 80s, but it’s Gabriel, and that doesn’t surprise me. more
Well, from this album you can start to smell the scent of a masterpiece, albeit raw in sound compared to IV, but with an overall quality of the songs that is more than excellent. 4.5 more
A curious album that I haven't quite managed to understand fully yet, but perhaps it's simply Fripp's production that makes it more mysterious. The songs I like the most are "Indigo" and "Flotsam And Jetsam"; the rest of the album contains some very good songs (especially the first ones) and others that I find a bit superfluous... more
