Transgressive in the seventies, poetic and reflective afterwards. All definitely commendable, although his persistent self-congratulatory streak has become somewhat tiresome for me... more
Iron Maiden are my favorite heavy band. So, if I were asked: "Who do you think are the number one in traditional metal?" I wouldn't hesitate to reply: "Judas Priest!" more
The album that a solo Clapton didn’t even come close to achieving. more
Best wishes! more
Variety, flair, creativity, and a strong easy listening attitude, basically a big group. I wonder why they haven’t become as famous as they deserve. more
The riff of "Iron Man" is something insane; it should be considered a part of humanity's heritage... And then the title track, "War Pigs," etc... in one word, "HISTORY"... more
True deities of the Czech underground. Not knowing them means only one thing: being Italian! more
The theme song of Doraemon is much more black metal than Enthrone Nuclear Blast Triunphant. more
"Those of the Unlight" is not bad at all. more
One of the most shocking debuts in Italian music. A heavy, challenging, difficult record because it is completely immersed in the darkest pessimism with no way out, and at the center are the lyrics, lyrics, and more lyrics. The arrangement is sparse and purely supportive but perfectly centered; violins, cellos, and flutes provide that right touch every now and then while Lolli, accompanied by a very simple acoustic guitar, pulls us into his black hole. A raw, disconcerting album, one of the most pessimistic ever heard in Italy. more
The sound of the flute (featured more than once) is a clear reference to Jethro Tull, but here we also encounter excellent hard rock and psychedelic influences. A must for all lovers of Italian progressive rock. more
the queen of disco music, how many times have I danced to hot stuff! even though she disappeared with the end of her genre, five full!! more
Undoubtedly the best group on the West Coast, for me better than the Jefferson S. more
Novos Baianos F.C. more
Cannonball! more
PBR. Overweight and weary musical semantics, low-fi electro-junk, unexpected guitars, metallic ethno-digital drummings, bass lines placed differently. POLARBEAR is an introverted beast. Alaska is not a matter of weather-territoriality but a disposition of the soul. Human gels. Livid roads and out of bounds. No technicolor L.A. dreams but raw portraits of urban din. Industrial and dazed sound. Postcards from Taipei, deformed suburbia and altered visions from nothing. Something of Nothing. more
The complete works in a 3CD box set by the peculiar RAOTIJ, creators between '87 and '95 of a remarkable synthesis of Dead Can Dance, Art Zoyd, Death In June, and Orthodox sacred music. To be cherished. more
Not only Jean Caude, but also Dr. House, Gurzo, Carla Fendi, Patatini, and Irina Skassalkatsaja... I mean, how can you give them less than 5? more
Nice album, which benefits especially from the presence of that masterpiece "Firenze," but it loses a bit due to a production that isn't quite up to par (despite the involvement of a musician like Giovanni Tommaso), who perhaps tends to overshadow the "live in studio" spontaneity of the Abruzzese guitarist. Still a very good album nonetheless. more
