Fabrizio De André: Storia Di Un Impiegato
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Power is "exercised," "held," "suffered"... but who - WHO - could ever think that power CAN BE THROWN FROM ONE'S HANDS...? Faber, you can discover this today or you can have been listening to it for thirty years, but it's impossible to listen to a Record (just one record?) like this without being driven to ask MANY questions about your own life...

    When you bring out De André from the '70s, you're touching on a very delicate chord, truly. A masterpiece.

Flower Travellin' Band: Satori
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
Overrated, terrible vocal parts. Has aged poorly, the rating is relative to the time.

    Overrated to bits. For me, it was and remains a DISCO.

    The only Japanese album from the '70s that deserves a 5 is Kurofune by the Sadistic Mika Band. The rest is either amateurish stuff, peddled as cult material by people like Julian Cope, or simply nice albums that have lost a lot over the years. And Satori is one of those. Sure, after 40 years, you can still appreciate those high notes that mimic English hard rock, but I steer clear of it. True Japanese rock begins in the late '80s; for me, Satori is prehistoric - just my opinion.

    I respect your point of view. But for me, in music where there's quality, time doesn't exist. Anyway, great the Sadistic Mika Band!

    I gave it a 4, yeah, the same rating as the one who reviewed it at the time. For me, it's a great album; if there were decimals, I’d even give it a 4.5. Sorry, it’s just that I wrote the definition a bit haphazardly ;;) From there, it almost seems like the judgment is negative. Thanks for the pass.
Formula 3: Dies Irae

Cicco, Radius, and Lorenzi gave Battisti (and not only him) the same treatment that Vanilla Fudge had reserved for the Beatles: twisted and stretched pieces, psychedelic excursions, plenty of Hammond and hard guitar – and some late-beat naïveté in falsetto...

    first groundbreaking album, then a lot of megalomania and chaotic stuff that’s all over the place, but the first album is genius. No one had ever covered like that.

The acoustic pieces ("Lying in the Sunshine", the "boccata d'erba" of "Mouthful of Grass" - for the record: we want to be eloquent...) are the cherry on the cake... for the rest, it's all about the great feeling, because when one of the most raspy Rock voices of all time, a bassist with a unique style, and a guitarist who will never be forgotten are involved... it’s ALWAYS a great feeling.

  • Great album...and great cover.
Fruupp: Future Legends

Of rare beauty, even in its imperfections. And it's not even my genre. Oboe, keyboards, vocal harmonies. But above all, Vince McCusker's Electric.

    Every now and then I put it on, it never disappoints me, it's situated in a specific section just because of how I've arranged it at home, between the Sutherland brothers and the Springs.

Fu Manchu: Eatin' Dust

"Godzilla" and "Mongoose" are awesome. One of their tracks that I play more often - after "Daredevil" and "The Action Is Go", which are definitely superior in my opinion.

    The Action Is Go is THE BEST...in my opinion! Plus, it's the album where the effects of THC come through the most, so....it really resonates with me!
