"Desperado" (maybe my favorite) "On the Border" and "One of These Nights" are certainly not masterpieces but are valid and memorable works. Covering Tom Waits ("Ol' 55") a year after his debut is definitely a nice calling card, although I'm not crazy about that cover. "Hotel California" was nice too, but the beautiful title track, for some reason, has kind of annoyed me a bit. more
Since they called him "paolino paperino" here on Debaser, I haven't stopped laughing. more
The first two may be beautiful, and they really are, but "London Calling" and "Sandinista!" are truly from a deserted island. more
A forgotten gem of melodic progressive, very beautiful and refined. Not a masterpiece, but definitely a pleasant album of notable quality; moreover, I have a soft spot for Ivano Fossati's voice, raw yet already richly well-trained. "Only a great bonfire will remain of us." 7.5-8. more
The apotheosis more
The son of "Force It," but definitely more inspired. Several noteworthy tracks, including "Can You Roll Her," "Belladonna," and "Martian Landscape." (7.5) more
A record that has never excited me. I've always seen it as too "flat" and monotonous, lacking real inspiration. It lacks a bit of compositional necessity, as if it came about out of inertia after its much more successful predecessor. However, "High Flyer" still gives me goosebumps. (6.5) more
Immense! more
The only black metal artist I appreciate. And quite a lot. Too bad he's a nazi... more
Bootsy Collins goes by the name Zillatron (or Fuzzface) and produces this funk/metal album together with Bill Laswell. We are in 1993. more
"The Crestfallen EP" is the debut record of five boys from Liverpool, barely out of their teens; despite their young age, they show an enviable songwriting ability. Their sound leans towards a slow and oppressive Doom Metal, reminiscent of the early raw works of Cathedral: it is the track "Crestfallen," which unfolds for over ten minutes, that stands out as the best, with that haunting initial piano that sends shivers down your spine, and not of love. more
The most uncomfortable and controversial Rock group of the nineties; the first self-titled album shocking right from the cover. And I'm not talking about the Music...THE BATTLE OF L.A... more
Listen to them at dawn. Now damn awful. A crossover trash in metal. Or pop? Or dance? Or funky? Or rap? Or crap? Ah, yes crap, did I guess right? What did I win? more
Always skipped the greatest hits, a record of absolutely mediocre unreleased tracks, except for 2-3 songs in a sea of crap. This had started almost a decade ago now. more
Cd1 grade 4. Cd2 grade 2. Average 3 more
The arrogance and mediocrity that, spurred by the basest selfishness, grotesquely copulate to produce shitty little songs and serve them hot and steaming to the fucking great Italian public... more
Very short career... but they left us with two very beautiful albums... Myles Kennedy was already proving his immense talents!! more
As far as I'm concerned, the best work by Ufo. Michael Schenker (making his debut with the English band) paints unforgettable melodies, indulging in solo virtuosity that deserves to be preserved in the annals of history (notably the solo in "Rock Bottom"). A gem somewhat overshadowed by the superb quality of those years. Worth rediscovering. (8.5) more
