AC/DC: Live
11 jul 15
"AC/DC Live, recorded on the band's 1990-91 world tour, encompassing twenty-one countries and one hundred and fifty-three shows." This is how it reads in the internal booklet of the double CD; very simply, a stratospheric live performance, where the band plays all the best and most acclaimed songs that have marked the history of Hard Rock in recent decades. It starts with "Thunderstruck" and culminates in the "cannon blasting" finale of "For Those About To Rock (We Salute You)"...ESSENTIAL...

    No, it's not true, come on, they've kind of worn me out with their stale and overused material; in fact, I find them overrated and I would flush some albums from their discography down the toilet. However, there are others that are five stars, like Back in Black, The Razor's Edge, Highway to Hell, High Voltage, and, without a doubt, this album.

    I've always had a particular relationship with Hard Rock in general, in the sense that I'm a huge admirer of the first-generation bands (Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, even the early Queen), but those that came after just don’t do it for me. AC/DC is among them, although I don’t mind the early albums with Bon Scott too much. However, I prefer something else. :)
  • hjhhjij
    12 jul 15
    If Razor's Edge and Back in Black, from my point of view, were 5-star albums, then I might as well throw all my records in the trash because the music would be pointless. I’m being a bit drastic, but the only good ones I find they've made are those up to Highway, and in particular Let There Be Rock, though not with any particular enthusiasm. In short, I would never give them 5 stars.

    Let's take a moment to respond to the detractors of the band. As you know, my respectable age has allowed me to see AC/DC twice in the nineties: in September 1991 in Modena for the Monsters of Rock, alongside Metallica, Queensryche, Black Crowes, and Negazione, and in May 1995 at the Forum di Assago. The live performance I'm highlighting closely mirrors the setlist from Modena. But have you taken a look at the incredible sequence of Hard Rock anthems that the five Australians deliver? Find me another band that can string together a series of hits like that. I don't think it's necessary to mention the songs; otherwise, I'd practically have to list them all... DAMN...
  • hjhhjij
    12 jul 15
    I believed that Asidisi and the '90s were not two terms that could be put side by side :D I don't care much about hard rock anthems, and they have produced very few memorable songs, all concentrated in the '70s. Of course, also in the '70s, there were several pleasant and catchy tunes, but I don't find anything memorable in them apart from the "historic name." Of course, these are points of view; from my perspective, a '90s live performance by the skirts evokes only unpleasant feelings.
  • hjhhjij
    12 jul 15
    "Let There Be Rock," on the other hand, is an album that I always enjoy listening to; the problem is that once I've listened to that one, I don't feel like picking up others, I'm good as is.
  • Dragonstar
    12 jul 15
    On the topic of "memorable tracks," I agree with hj. Of course, they have "a series of hits like this" because they've been playing the same chords for ages. Anyway, there are plenty of bands that deliver a ton of masterpiece hits in hard rock/heavy metal. Without going too far, Iron Maiden devour them for breakfast, in my opinion, when it comes to historic tracks.

    Imagine that. I usually don’t particularly love instrumental albums, but that album, besides having set a standard (it’s one of the earliest examples of Italian world music), has such an enchanting mood that I can never tear myself away from it: just hearing the first notes is enough for me to quickly decide that I’ll have to listen to it all over again. And if someone interrupts me, I become a beast!

    It's just a matter of tastes, of course. I’ve never been particularly taken by Iron Maiden, apart from the first five albums, and personally, I feel the exact opposite: AC/DC outshine them in terms of songs. I still respect your valid arguments. Let's wrap it up with a Solomon-like draw.

I have an indelible memory of this album: Saturday, January 29, 1994. I'm at the "Zimba" in Milan for the band's concert; the start time is set, in an original way, for 5 PM. Just a moment before, the drummer Steve comes on stage completely nude, except for his boots, taking some photos of us, the audience, incredulous at the sight; right after, he sits down in his place and is joined by Greg, John, and Rick, and the show can thus begin. The album is a wonder...BE SWEET...

One of the best works I've listened to in 2014; the fifth album by the American band Agalloch contains all the characteristics of a sound that has pushed the boundaries of Black Metal towards an executional depth that leaves me cold...yet fascinated by it all. And it's natural for me to mention the track "Dark Matter Gods," which well represents the feral and epic sound of a group that has pointed the way for a new form of heavy Metal...CELESTIAL...

    This album has grown a lot... at first I was perplexed, but after 2 or 3 listens it's unfolding in all its beauty. And that digipack! I didn't have one with holes yet. By the way, from 2014 I've bought only about 4 or 5 works...

    No, come on. I bought 8 of them. Among which Lana Del Rey (I'm ashamed, but I like her a lot...).

I tend to listen more to what I already have... it's a shame, though, but I don't have many stimuli.

I’m not interested in writing where it was recorded; it’s not necessary to mention the date of its conception; what is fundamental for me about this sonic marvel is the beginning of the album, after the applause from the audience: Jerry starts an acoustic arpeggio of simple craftsmanship and beauty. Then another burst of applause, this time even more intense, and right after that Layne begins to sing... I stop, closing my eyes to meditate, filled with chills and tears... DEVASTATING...

    Among the records of my life. Everything you say is true. Staley was immense and was forgotten long before his passing. An emblematic and very sad moment in one of his last interviews, I seem to remember it was in Rolling Stone, where he specified that the "others" in the band were no longer his friends. Here he is physically a ghost... but his voice still reveals his soul. I repeat, one of the records of my life for me.

The Finnish band achieves stylistic perfection with their third album released in 1996; completely abandoning the Death Metal sounds of their early days, the album unfolds through eleven songs where folk, progressive, and '70s hard rock combine to create an epic sound, further distinguished by the growling vocals and clean vocals. "The Orphan" and the subsequent "On Rich And Poor" are songs with a wonderfully elegiac pace... An undisputed masterpiece...

Alternative 4 was released in 1998 and is the fourth studio album by the English band Anathema: it is the masterpiece. An album that represents the pinnacle of their stylistic evolution, reaching a gothic metal sound with hints of ambient progressive rock that make the sound ethereal, intimate, at times tormented and saturated with emotional tension. "Fragile Dreams," "Lost Control," and "Regret" are tracks that gift you with strong sensations, yet rich in hidden charm. Sublime.

The first phase of the Cavanagh brothers' career comes to a close in 1996 with this album, the third in chronological order since their raw debut a few years earlier. We are still, in a grand way, in the realm of Gothic Metal, but we begin to see interesting melodic inserts, less dark openings that will lead to their absolute masterpiece in the following album. "Angelica," "The Beloved," "Eternity part 1" are the standout tracks of an album close to perfection...HOPE..

Fifth album for the Cavanagh brothers' band, and five are the shining stars that represent my rating; an album recorded in Ventimiglia in the spring of 1999, beautiful in every way starting from the cover. The sound of the English band definitively moves away from the previous Gothic-Doom to head towards a form of Progressive Rock that in many parts reminds me of the more "Gilmour-esque" Pink Floyd. "One Last Goodbye" is a heartbreaking tribute to the deceased mother...DEEP...

I've never understood why "Pentecost lll" is labeled as an EP, exceeding forty minutes in length across its five tracks.

"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.

First album of the new millennium for the Liverpool band; one of the works I appreciate most from a remarkable career. Never before have the sounds expanded so much, with that veil of melancholy always present in tracks where Danny's guitar dominates; in some passages, it’s incredibly easy to compare them to the more "Gilmourian" Pink Floyd, as in the opening pair "Pressure" and especially "Release": and it’s the ending of the latter that ignites with the long guitar solo...

The debut on the long distance for the English band; we are still far from the masterpieces to come, but the potential of the very young guys is already noticeable. On vocals, typically growl, we find Darren White again, and musically the lengthy tracks embrace sounds that move slowly towards a primitive Doom Metal; although there are also Gothic-Dark openings like in "Sleepless" that hint at the future developments of a sound always in constant evolution.

It’s the third and unfortunately last album of the band led by Cedric Bixler “golden throat” Zavala and the “forever in motion” guitarist Omar Rodríguez López.

It was incredibly hard to choose the best album by Bad Religion; but after years of struggling with myself and going through changes, I've come to a conclusion. Without taking anything away from the equally timeless masterpieces "Suffer" and "No Control," "Against The Grain" is, for me, the true Bible of the California band. To give substance to my reasoning, I will mention the fifth, lightning-fast track "The Positive Aspect Of Negative Thinking": 55 overwhelming seconds that then give way to "Anesthesia"... AARRGGHH...

    However, between the two albums, although there is only a year of age difference, I must say that they are not copies of each other: No Control is Reign In Blood that goes straight through, a single 26-minute run without stops, excluding "Sanity," at a constant and impressive speed. The subsequent album refines the formula of the previous year but with more sing-alongs, melodies, and variety. The common thread between the two is the underlying epicness.

It's also difficult for the Californian masters to replicate the three previous groundbreaking albums; however, Greg, Jay, Brett, and the new drummer Bobby are not willing to abdicate and know where to strike and how to move. The kickoff is entrusted to two tracks that have always claimed victims live (try it to believe it!): "Generator" and "Too Much Too Ask," where the execution speed reaches deadly limits. But my favorite song is the one that opens side B of my worn vinyl: ATOMIC GARDEN...

"Change of Ideas," "Big Bang," "No Control"; the album that concludes the eighties for the Californian band opens with this trio of songs. Give or take, it's four and a half minutes: heart-pounding rhythms, bursts of hardcore infused with that masterful melodic touch that has set the standard. And there are still twelve more tracks with the same driving pace, for an album that just exceeds twenty-six minutes; to be passed down to children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren...

Recorded in two days with a budget of 600 pounds; released on Friday the 13th (!!) of February 1970. We're now approaching 45 years; a record that has lost none of its sepulchral and malevolent atmosphere, with Ozzy's deep and Mephistophelean voice and Tony’s marble-like and sinister riffs. The cold, dark, dramatic cover leads us towards that tolling of funeral bells, before the pitch-black wall of sound takes over everything; an opening that for me is still unattainable... N.I.B....

    Unattainable record. There were plenty of works from the heavy blues era, but none of the records that have come into my hands had as many valid tracks as this one. Here, every single piece is essential and of rare beauty; works like "vincibus eruptum" or "kingdom come" can be tossed aside halfway... and in this genre, it's not that "vincibus" or "kingdom" are throwaway records to take lightly, they are truly the foundations. As far as I'm concerned, this is THE rock album. And I'm not even a Sabbath fan: if I have five of their records, I have many.

    I completely agree with you in every single aspect; although I prefer a slight "Paranoid" without knowing the real reason. From the debut, there are two things that strike me in a "morbid" way: first of all, the age of Ozzy and his companions at the time of the recordings. A bunch of barely twenty-year-olds who, in just a few hours of recording, bring forth something never heard before that will mark, and forever, a significant part of the subsequent Heavy Music. And finally, I've always felt a sort of envy towards those who heard the album for the first time on the day the vinyl was released: I can just imagine the dramatically shocked expressions on their faces as this wall of sound unfolds through seven tracks that have not a single second of decline. A legend...

    @ Marco Orsi; I saw Black Sabbath twice without Ozzy. The first time was on September 12, 1992, at the Monster of Rock in Reggio Emilia with Ronnie James DIO on vocals. It was an extraordinary event with Pantera, Testament, Megadeth, Iron Maiden added; I think I've never moshed for so many consecutive hours as I did that day. Then I saw them in Milan in the fall of 1994 with Tony Martin on vocals, or at least I think so; Cathedral opened for them, and I had the pleasant opportunity to meet Lee Dorrian. I saw Ozzy a couple of times in the '90s as well, but it certainly wasn't a memorable show.

September 1970; just a few months after their eponymous debut, the boys from Aston, near Birmingham, bring to life their most representative album: the Holy Bible for lovers of the emerging Heavy sound. Eight tracks are enough for a little over forty legendary minutes: decades later, they have lost none of their evocative power.

I like a bit of metal, I think altar of plagues are great, meshuggah too, and others (even burzum), I'm crazy about cannibal corpse during the first singer's era (I only have the second and third): but do you know third and the mortal?

    Hi Psycho; I only know the group you mention by name. I believe it can be traced back to the sound of The Gathering, who had their strength in the singer Anneke.

Bob Dylan: Oh Mercy

Towards the end of the eighties, Bob Dylan delights us with his second masterpiece of the decade, in my opinion his last essential album, despite a more than valid continuation of his career. It is the skillful hands of Daniel Lanois that produce and guide Bob, who once again manages to captivate the heart with songs of uncommon beauty; among them, the opening and compelling "Political World" and the peaceful ballad "Most of the Time" stand out. A Guarantee in Music.

  • Mr Funk

    For me, the last masterpiece of Bob, certainly among his top 5. Time Out of Mind has some great songs, but overall it's less cohesive than Oh Mercy and a bit too skewed towards Lanois, who always tends to be a bit too intrusive, which doesn't happen on Oh Mercy.
  • De...Marga...

    I reply to both; it's an album of ten songs that doesn’t reach 40 minutes in length. In my opinion, there isn't a single note out of place, with a perfect production that brings everything into focus, from Bob's voice to the instruments. Dylan's mature record.

One of the most well-known and successful albums by Bob Dylan; and if my memory serves me right, the first album of his that I listened to in the eighties. A work that opens, masterfully as only the minstrel knows how, with the long and famous "Hurricane," a song further enhanced by the violin of Scarlet Rivera. But all the remaining eight tracks shine in an album that will long remain "the last great album by Bob," at least until "Infidels"... SARA...

Bob Dylan: Slow Train Coming
15 apr 14
Bob Dylan quickly notices the sublime guitar artistry of Mark Knopfler; "Slow Train Coming" represents the first successful collaboration between the minstrel from Duluth and the leader of Dire Straits, which will culminate a few years later in "Infidels". Elegant tracks that move in the realms of rock-blues, with hints of gospel in some songs; with the peak, in my opinion, reached in "I Believe In You", where Mark's languid guitar weaves phrases of certain effectiveness.

    Really? I swear I had no idea about their collaboration! Let me preface this by saying that I'm an "heretic" in the sense that I don't go crazy for Dire Straits and I know very little about Dylan, practically only his songs covered by others... well, this interests me! So it deserves to be alongside Infidels?
  • De...Marga...
    15 apr 14
    So federock, run right away and take care of it; if you want to start with Dylan and Mark Knopfler, I recommend beginning with the album "Infidels" from 1983, which features my absolute peak in the song "I And I," where Mark's guitar moves you and once again highlights his value. I consider this record one of the best of "mature" Dylan, and even after more than thirty years since its release, it hasn't lost an ounce of its beauty. As for the fact that you’re not crazy about Dire Straits, let’s just say I respect your decision, although I can’t in any way agree with it, considering the English band one of my all-time favorites.
  • De...Marga...
    15 apr 14
    Hi Hellraiser, I'm always pleased to receive your thoughtful comment on Bob here accompanied by the young Mark; it's not a particularly beloved album by Dylan, but from my point of view, it's precisely due to the masterful guitar work of Mr. Knopfler that the work gains in brilliance and interpretative depth. As always, these are personal judgments, open to discussion as much as you like. A great album nonetheless.
  • Mr Funk
    15 apr 14
    With Street Legal, it’s the most underrated album by Bob. It’s worth mentioning that the second half of the '70s was of the highest caliber for Dylan (Basement Tapes, Blood on the Tracks, Hard Rain, Desire, Street Legal, and Slow Train).

In my modest opinion, one of Dylan's latest masterpieces; guided in the director's chair by Mark Knopfler, Bob gifts us a gorgeous album, with Mark's guitar capable of captivating you in the listening.

After the traumatic end of Husker Du, Bob Mould takes a moment of reflection, which is interrupted two years later by his solo debut. An album where he deliberately unplugs, with a sound that is worlds away from the grandeur of his unforgettable first band; a rock sound that at times ventures into a minor key, with hints of pop and folk that bring Bob closer to the American songwriting of the era; an album that marks the beginning of a fluctuating career, filled with both brilliant works and embarrassing missteps.

As far as I'm concerned, one of the most beautiful albums in Death Metal; we're in 1994 and the guys from Florida bring forth their second gruesome work. A sick, very personal approach regarding the execution speed, always in constant control, with rare accelerations typical of the genre; listening to "Race Defects" gives an idea of what I'm asserting. And standing as a terrifying peak is the cover of "Electric Funeral" by Black Sabbath, which is paid tribute to with blind violence...

This is why I consider its predecessor "When The Sky Turns Black" the pinnacle of the group...UNDERAPPRECIATED...

    Well! Given my high school and university experiences, I believe there is no risk that "that generation of writers" needs to be "absolutely saved from oblivion," simply because there is no need for it! There are far more valuable Italian writers who are overlooked. But above all, it is the ideals and values of the writers of the Resistance that must be saved from oblivion. And we must not accept that they are miserably exploited by institutions to tell us that the past is the past and that antifascism is a founding value of the Republic, because it simply IS NOT AS THEY SAY! The events of the past few months demonstrate this, for those who have an ear for certain matters. The discussions among university professors, politically ambiguous or even center-left, about the irrelevance of antifascism, not to mention the measures taken by political parties that theoretically should uphold the values of the Resistance that they claim are "founding" of the Republic, and those taken by the police departments say it all. But the problem, as I see it, is that antifascism should not be talked about as a given right, since it has NEVER been one from '45 to today, but as a social and cultural character that has always been fought against, both by fascism and by our current state of affairs. Apologies for the long rant, but I got carried away and strayed off-topic. Maybe it's because April 25th is approaching... or, as they say, "it's spring."

I'm grateful they did it this way so that I (a bit young compared to their active period) can have my "Enhanced" copy, but, there’s a but… They wanted to sell records too, De Marga, in the documentary TEMPI MODERNI paraphrasing Ferretti: "we teamed up with Virgin Records because if you’re going to make records, you might as well partner with someone who knows how to sell them..."

The memories linked to CCCP, to CSI, as well as the era of Dischi del Mulo remain indelible in my mind.. How nice it is, you will see the beautiful and talented Ginevra di Marco again!

    For me, "Irata" stands out above all, one of the most beautiful songs EVER, not just Italian...
    The album? Among the top 10 of Italian music.
