Sam Cooke: Twistin' the Night Away
27 oct 15
A great gap filled, Sam Cooke... An album that is actually a true collection of "hits," but what songs, what interpretations, and what a voice, guys! It's a super fun record with no flaws in its just 29 minutes of music. Standout tracks: the title track, "Somebody Have Mercy," and "Whole Lotta Woman." In the latter, Cooke's voice and interpretation really move me deeply. Not a masterpiece, but it’s incredibly entertaining. A giant.

"A Change is Gonna Come"... and then a string of hilarious and irresistible tracks, an incredible voice and perfect interpretations, with some of the best songs written by him. The 5 comes thanks to the aforementioned piece; in any case, the album is excellent.

The best film by Sam Peckinpah. Dustin Hoffman out of the ordinary; his explosion of fury at the end is masterful. A splendid film, the tension builds as the movie progresses, culminating in the last fantastic half hour. Stunning.

One of the best absurdist films I've ever seen. An idiot movie to the core, stupid gags, Campbell is an idiot, the story is idiotic, everything is wonderfully, comically idiotic. Burlesquely fantastic.

Sergio Leone: C'era Una Volta Il West (1968)
8 apr 12
Among the highest points ever achieved by Leone, perhaps the finest western film of all time, featuring excellent performances (Charles "Bruno Conti" Bronson, the stunning Claudia Cardinale, a cold Henry Fonda), immense direction, and magnificent music. A titanic film (as will be "Giù la Testa" and "C'Era Una Volta in America"), a film that portrays the end of an era, the advance of the modern age marking the end of the wild west. And the opening scene is among the 10 most beautiful scenes ever, for me.

A masterpiece as well, an epic film, engaging, technically perfect as always in Leone's movies, the characters are exceptional (golden palm for a wonderful Eli Wallach), the music is immense, perfect direction, only the screenplay has a few minor flaws but that's a small matter. The scene where Wallach runs among the tombs and the final triello are legendary. Great Sergione, great film.

A true classic, really great, but still a bit immature and slightly inferior to both the two subsequent films in the Dollar Trilogy and to C'Era una Volta il West (and obviously to Once Upon a Time in America, Leone's masterpiece). However, it doesn't lack memorable scenes, the direction is excellent, and the music is unforgettable. Very beautiful.

The best of the Dollar Trilogy. Leone crafts a masterpiece western, with Volontè delivering a wonderful character in his wickedness. The Eastwood-Van Cleef duo is also stunning. The ending is magnificent, the music is immense (Morricone...). A masterpiece.

Shirley Collins & The Albion Country Band: No Roses
9 apr 18
The mother of the British folk revival here accompanied by her consort Ashley Hutchings, who gathers a large band of friends who gradually drop by the sessions, and together they sing and play 9 beautiful songs from Albion's folk tradition. Thus was born "No Roses," a wonderful album where Collins’ traditional style opens up to a sound that leaves room for a backdrop of electricity. Electric bass, drums, and the discreet but ever-present accompaniment of electric guitars (including Richard Thompson's, who plays a humble yet useful supporting role) dominate the arrangements just as much as the numerous traditional instruments typical of this music (fiddle, concertina, hurdy-gurdy, and others). Many names are involved, including sister Dolly and Ian Whiteman on piano, Lol Coxhill on saxophone (in an unprecedented context for him), and many more. A splendid album.

    I would add that in the splendid "Murder of Maria Marten," Thompson's electric guitar manages to carve out a very pleasant, albeit brief, solo space.

Another great album from the duo. However, among all their albums up to 1970, it's, after the first, the one I like a little less. "Scarborough Fair," "Mary, Whatever May Find Her," "Patterns," and "Homeward Bound" are nonetheless outstanding tracks.

The purchase of McGeoch is fundamental, a great record and the beginning of a new phase for the band, their first work marking a departure from the rougher, raw style of the first two (splendid, in any case) albums. Siouxsie and Severin reinvent the band and from here they begin to "refine" themselves, with their captivating and softer Dark-Wave that will characterize the following albums. This is an excellent record, featuring outstanding tracks like "Hybrid" and the trio of "Desert Kisses," "Red Lights," and "Paradise Place," as well as the very successful pop and lively pieces, McGeoch's irresistible riff in "Happy House" or even "Trophy" and so on. With "Juju" there will be a further step forward, with the most successful album of Siouxsie’s "phase 2."

The raw priestess of Dark-Punk from the late '70s has pretty much disappeared. Here Siouxsie and the crew are refining themselves, moving to a sophisticated dark-pop, vaguely ethereal, with particular (and successful) style changes like the beautiful "Cockoon" or "Slowdive." The quality of the songs remains good, despite the lighter sound. "Cascade" is the best track, then "Obsession" and "Melt," along with the delightful pop-new wave of "She's a Carnival"... But for me, the focal point is Severin's organ backdrop on "Painted Bird," oh god how it drives me crazy.

    I've never loved the genre that much, maybe something from early Metallica, a little bit of Megadeth, but in general, I'm a big fan of '70s hard rock. Anyway, this is a good album; it reminds me of the "walkman" on the school bus...

    Much better than Metallica and Megadeth. I really appreciate their Hardcore influences and contaminations, something that, for example, Metallica definitely doesn't have. I consider the first three of the aforementioned nice, but I haven't listened to them in a while, so I might end up reevaluating them like I did with this one :)

  • hjhhjij

    No, better a Metal piece without solos :D A Metal piece with a solo is, for me, a dead Metal piece. Jokes aside, it depends on the type of Metal. I’m not a big fan of Thrash, and I definitely prefer the Hardcore influences (which I really like) of Slayer over the solos of Megadeth, which I’m sure are very well done, but they give me the same emotions that a rock can feel.

3.5. Their probably most cheerful and carefree album. Enjoyable, with some great tracks (title track, Higher, the Medley) but not always exceptional. I hold on to it because they later made albums that are truly, truly superior to this one. The rhythm section is terrifying nonetheless, with Graham on bass and Errico on drums. Uh.
