Van der Graaf Generator: The Aerosol Grey Machine

Impressive how much of Le Orme's sound there is in "Afterwards"... I can't even imagine how many times Tagliapietra must have listened to this record. Which is beautiful in its own right, not comparable to what will come later but discernible in every nuance. For many bands, it would have already been a peak.

    5 is a lot, in my opinion. However, I agree completely about the Orme; I've always thought the same.

    I would also stop at 4 for this, but can you imagine me complaining about a 5 to VDGG? And then, apart from "Afterwards," which is already a masterpiece, there are "Necromancer" and "Octopus," no joke. It's totally plausible that Le Orme listened to these guys a lot; after all, Hammill is also the one who will translate Felona e Sorona into English a few years later.

    It's a 5 very different from the one that (rightfully) goes to the subsequent ones. I have come to love this album even in its imperfections, which at times are quite evident. But as far as Hammill is concerned, given how these pieces showcase a pivotal phase in the evolution of his style, I find this is an album that cannot be overlooked.

When people say, "it was better before"... not really, this Vasco here annoys me just as much as the current one. The album only holds up a little thanks to "Albachiara" and "La Strega," but the rest is incredibly boring. I remember that song about his military service that was just a drip-drip of agony. The best Rossi (which is like saying: the least stinky shit) is somewhere between "Siamo Solo Noi" and "Vado Al Massimo."

    Sure, it was better before... before he dedicated himself to music. By now, he suffers from early senile dementia and should gracefully withdraw from the stage.

    I only listen to what comes through the radio car, otherwise it’s stuff I don’t pay attention to.

    Yes, a few funny and silly pieces in a "it's just us" style were thrown in at the beginning/mid-career (before the '90s, in short).. but these are just little songs, of no musical value, of foolish pastimes. Meanwhile, the rest of the output in every period of his career is even harmful.

"Best Italian album of all time" - according to Rolling Stone. But you guys bring Coca-Cola to the editorial office too, it seems...

    I don't know what's worse, Rolling Stone or Pitchfork. Anyway, three stars for this rubbish seems too much.
