I would recommend to some ungrateful person down here to consider that Pino has played with Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, Mike Manieri, Gato Barbieri, Joe Bonamassa, Tullio de Piscopo, Eric Clapton, etc., Pino has given his best in his first twenty years like all the greatest artists. For me, Pino, at his level, was comfortably one of the best guitarists, artists in blues and world music on a global scale, and anyway in his genre and style, he is unique and unrepeatable. more
A rare example of consistency, honesty, and commitment. more
A horrifying sound quality, grating noises, and with the first listen (especially at high volume) you risk wrecking your auditory system, yet I don’t know, it fascinates me and I partly consider it a good album. more
Some of the best records of Italian rock, especially "Le radici e le ali" and "Storie d'Italia", but the rest is no joke either. more
Short songs but they're little gems more
The internal feud left a deep mark: Max leaves the group, leaving what remains of Sepultura in very troubled waters. An album I bought upon its release with a lot of perplexity and doubt; a quick listen was enough for me to understand two things: 1) album to sell as soon as possible (which I eventually did); 2) the band has no reason to exist anymore, at least as far as I'm concerned. I don't even remember the title of a single song, given such emptiness. more
NIRVANA, FOO FIGHTERS, Probot, Them Crooked Vultures, and numerous other appearances... What more do you want from him??? more
Tokarev rightfully ranks among the biggest Hollywood disasters ever seen. Paolo Cabezas, remember this name and skip it forever. more
What can we say about Marino and Sandro Severini and their band? I’ll be clichéd, very clichéd, but it’s only right this time: the Clash of Italy; nothing more...THE ROOTS AND THE WINGS... more
Applause for Fibra, ready set go... who knows how much longer he'll stop doing nonsense... more
Unlike Keanu Reeves, who always plays the same character (Neo and Constantine are practically identical), he is truly versatile: Edward Scissorhands, Jack Sparrow, the Mad Hatter, etc... more
A record like this leaves behind 3/4 of the prog scene of the nineties. Too complex at a compositional level to be immediately absorbed, it demands an effort that is, however, amply rewarded. For lovers of Rio or the Canterbury scene. more
Well, it’s still a great role-playing game. Personally, I’ve never been able to stand the overwhelming dominance of the G.F.s; I preferred the other chapters because the triad of magic/summons/physical attacks was more balanced. In this case, the Guardian Forces are treated like they’re Pokémon! You raise them, heal them, teach them abilities, etc...
The world’s topography is excellent, but it doesn’t hold up in comparison to the other chapters for PS1. more
Worse than FFVII, better than FFVIII.
In my humble opinion: any agreements or lashings accepted... more
The Brazilians are starting to look far ahead with their second album; they have clear ideas about where they want to take their sound, which consists of raw and super-fast Death-Thrash. There are explosive tracks like "Escape To The Void" and "To The Wall"; there are also two pieces that are purely instrumental. However, a still lacking production, with a muddy, confusing, and chaotic sound, spoils the work of Max and his companions...THE ABYSS... more
In the eighties, the leader of the Commotions; then followed by a long solo career capable of delivering splendid pages of captivating, simple Rock-Pop. With his warm and enveloping voice, an additional gem...FOREST FIRE... more
"Heavy metal, real heavy metal, started with Tony Iommi." more
The soul of KISS... The voice is almost gone now, but it still holds up well! more
Here’s another human case for us. Foolish and lacking in culture. Sure, we’re really in bad shape! But, excuse me, where the hell has true musical art gone??? more
A typical singer of today, supported by a powerful music marketing machine, all "success" and 0 substance. They have the voice, but they use it poorly. more
