Ac/Dc -Live
I'm not particularly fond of this band; I've always found them excessively monotonous. However, they have composed some 5-star works, which, in my opinion, are more than enough to define the entire career of this group. This live concert is the most genuine summary of their history. There's more adrenaline in these live tracks, performed by a gritty and inspired Johnson and a virtuously stunning Young. Great performance! more
Manowar -Louder Than Hell
Little inspiration and a lot of anonymity. A heavy metal lacking the soul and genius that characterized the band's early days. A catchy album but not irresistible. Among the standout parts, the poignant ballad "Courage" and the bold instrumental "Today is a Good Day to Die," which shine through a series of overly flashy and monotonous compositions. more
Manowar -Sign Of The Hammer
One of the most beautiful epic albums of all time...and also in all of heavy metal. The barbaric title track, the furious "The Oak," the Nordic "Thor," and (above all) the incredible "Mountains," a powerful and gentle semi-ballad, adorned with the irresistible riffs of The Boss. Absolutely unmissable! more
Deep Purple -The Battle Rages On...
An album I have always appreciated and considered among the peaks of the band. The title track (riff taken from Fire Dance by Rainbow) is an immense piece, "Solitarie" is a gem... But the best track (not only of the album but of the entire Deep Purple career) is undoubtedly "Anya," a song that literally drives me crazy every time... The rest of the album is excellent... more
Neil Young & Crazy Horse -Weld
The most emblematic album of Neil Young's artistic rebirth in the '90s. more
Black Label Society -Shot To Hell
The booklet is nice too. An album that alternates abrupt changes in style, between hard'n'heavy bursts and a very interesting series of "mounting" ballads. To be listened to in the car with friends or while you’re getting it on with the girl of the moment! more
Judas Priest -British Steel
The universal manifesto of steel! more
Gabriel Fauré -Requiem, op. 48
Heavenly masterpiece, highly recommended for classical music "neophytes." more
Stephen Morris
A military, alien, stripped-down, repetitive, and obsessive drumming; essential in shaping the sound of Joy Division...HEART AND SOUL... more
Alexia
The repertoire isn't always irresistible, but the "Italian twist" has given it something extra! Years ago, I gave it 5 stars, which was absolutely misplaced. Let's say I'm emotionally attached to the period of "Dimmi come," but artistically it deserves 2.5 stars. more
Mötley Crüe
The Poop more
J-Ax
For days I've been listening to his latest "album" because of a friend who keeps playing it in the car... I knew he made "music" that was crap, but not to this extent... Embarrassing lyrics and on top of that, he has a terrible voice... How the hell does this guy find success?? Who knows... The mysteries of life... Proud to have not grown up with his "music" and that of his peers.... more
Marco Mengoni
If only he wouldn't flush his talent down the toilet to sing crap for attention-seeking girls... more
Beppe Grillo
I would vote for him for the citizenship income... because in a democracy, no one should be left alone by the state to scavenge from the trash! more
Black Sabbath
The period from 70 to 76 is among the most unhealthy and fascinating ever felt on the face of the Earth; in 80 there was that further strengthening of the sound, adorned with grim epicness thanks to the sublime voice of God, and the rest is also excellent. Among the greatest of all time, there's no denying... more
Rhapsody -Live in Canada 2005 - The Dark Secret
I must say that I adore this band. In the studio, they shine, but live, not at all! A Staropoli shrouded in recorded effects of choirs and instruments, a Turilli who couldn’t be more anonymous, and a Guers (on bass) who could have just stayed in the dressing room, as his instrument is utterly pointless. The exceptional performance of Lione and a raging Hozlaw behind the drums are worth saving. This is not a type of music to be presented live! Or at least, not in this way! more
Iron Maiden -Rock In Rio
Perfect. Three guitars that give more body to the songs, a Dickinson clearly superior to his live performances of the eighties, a terrifying setlist, and the largest audience the band has ever seen. And it really shows! A round of applause for "Sign of the Cross" brought by Bruce to sublime levels: the most beautiful piece of this masterful concert! more
Iron Maiden -Live After Death
Excellent at an execution level, but in my opinion, Maiden England is already far superior, at least from the perspective of execution. Here everything would be perfect (with the compositions sounding in an even rawer and more straightforward outfit), if it weren't for a Dickinson, from my point of view, who spends more time screaming and unnecessarily straining his voice rather than singing like only he knows how to do. more
Aerosmith -Pump
Album that marked the actual rebirth of the band after the excellent "Permanent Vacation"... The famous "Love in An Elevator" has become a staple in the band's live performances... Beautiful tracks like "the Other Side," "Janie's Got A Gun," but the whole album is at a very high level... more
