Faith No More: King for a Day… Fool for a Lifetime

18 apr 14

I wonder if it's possible to give less than five stars to such Music!!!! An album that encapsulates the journey of Faith No More, from the deadly outbursts of "The Gentle Art of Making Enemies," through the radiant beauty of "Evidence," a soft ballad with soul flavors and a guitar that weaves funk phrases of the highest quality. And then Mike's voice, never so versatile, proving it can do whatever it wants... and well. "Never Felt This Much Alive."

I thought the same thing while jotting down the definition, and that laid-back "Evidence" seems to come from the last album by Mr. Bungle, California; for me, a step above remains The Real Thing, even though in King for a... Mike's vocal performance is unmatched... I’ve seen this band live three times... truly terrifying!!!!!

Faith No More: Album of the Year

31 dec 14

"Album Of The Year" is the title of the band's latest chapter, although new developments seem to be on the horizon for 2015. My judgment on the album is difficult because it inevitably has to compare with the three previous works, which are true masterpieces of total crossover; a much more controlled album in terms of sound, with Mike's voice, except for rare exceptions, calm and smooth. Nevertheless, "Collision" and especially "Naked In Front Of The Computer" deliver hard...HELPLESS..

I just read this morning that in April 2015 a new album by the band will be released; but I honestly don't know what to expect, finding these reunions after years rather inconclusive. Hellraiser is a good album, played with the usual immense class by excellent musicians; however, it absolutely does not reach the stratospheric heights of its illustrious predecessors.

Faith No More: The Real Thing

30 dec 14

Third album for the San Francisco band, featuring the vocal debut of a young Mike Patton: their first masterpiece. One of the albums that firmly establishes the foundations for the birth of crossover, mixing everything and more like no one had dared to do before. Metal, Rap, Funk, etc... played by technically impeccable musicians; there are two tracks that, in my opinion, stand above the other very valid songs: the epic, lengthy, and complex title track and the reinterpretation of "War Pigs"... EPIC...

Faith No More: Angel Dust

5 jan 15

Another spectacular album by Faith No More in their "crossover" search; a more tense and restless album compared to the previous one, with Mike making one thing clear: he can do everything well with his voice, transitioning from epic moments to melodic sung parts and immediately thereafter to frantic and crazy sections. This is also the last work featuring guitarist Jim Martin, a fundamental element in sustaining the sonic balance achieved with his bandmates...BE AGGRESSIVE...

Also because here Patton has more importance in the compositional phase, he is now a true co-leader. Then in the next one he will call his buddy Spruance on guitar and there will be no stopping them. Babom.

It is important to specify, coming from that other genetically altered group called Mr. Bungle.

Yes. On the other hand, it is from Mr. Bungle's Spruance (from the many demo tapes they made in the '80s) that FNM recruited Patton (and paradoxically, the Bungle officially debuted later).

Fantômas: Suspended Animation

10 aug 14

The lesson, prodigious, of Mr. Bungle taken to extremes: divinely!!! I draw inspiration from what is written on the back of the charming packaging: "30 Miniature Holidays In 43 Minutes." The tracks are untitled; they are precisely 30 "exaggerated" bursts where Mr. Dunn, Lombardo, Osborne, and Patton demonstrate their mastery of the proposed sonic mixture: ultra noise, ultra grind, ultra EVERYTHING, with various and assorted samples. Dave's inhuman performance on the drums stands tall... PRECIOUS.

Fear Factory: Demanufacture

3 sep 14

One of the most representative albums of the 90s Metal; the second album by Fear Factory embodies the perfect sound of what would later be defined as "Cyber-Metal." Thrash and Death intertwining in twisted, synthetic, industrial spirals, leaving no respite in the listening experience of each track: an enormous boulder of uncontrolled power that opens with the title track, where the cold, alien guitar riffs of Dino Cazares accompany the declamatory singing of Burton...

How strange... and it's a shame. I am of an age that allowed me to buy it at the time of its release in 1995, already knowing the band for a few years. It’s an album that can come off as cold, almost built in the studio due to the heavy use of effects, particularly on the guitar sounds; yet it hits hard... "New Breed" really hurts.

My favorite metal album, which I consider to be one of the few in the genre deserving of an honorable place among the masterpieces of music (my opinion, highly debatable). A true revolutionary manifesto! I've seen them live several times (six, I believe), but now they're in pretty rough shape.
De...Marga...
3 sep 14

I saw them three times, always in the nineties when they were blowing up; after "Obsolete," in my opinion, they kind of coasted. "Demanufacture" remains a destructive album, with a sound that hasn't lost an ounce of brutality, despite the years gone by.

One of my all-time favorite albums, all the tracks are great (and Pisschrist destroys everything in terms of brutality). For me, it's the best of Metal from those times.

Fishbone: The Reality Of My Sorroundings

8 apr 15

A masterpiece, indeed the MASTERPIECE of crossover; it is with this album from 1991 that the wild congregation, led by the infectious energy of Angelo Moore, reaches the perfect and exhilarating balance by mixing the most disparate genres: ska, reggae, metal, soul, funk, and even pop. All of this is bolstered by a hefty dose of fun, their trademark in live performances. So let yourself be swept away by "So Many Millions": as if countless songs fused into a single track. Out of category...

Frank Zappa: The Yellow Shark

11 apr 14

The last earthly gift from Frank Zappa; these are old orchestral compositions published by him, re-presented in a live setting. The musical testament of the genius from Baltimore; the cover art is striking in its dramatic intensity... and only his infinite madness could give us a song titled "Questi Cazzi di Piccione." A score of 10 and triple praise for an inimitable career.

Fugazi: Red Medicine

28 oct 14

I wonder how it's possible not to give top marks to an album that opens with "Do You Like Me?": a blast of monstrous power, with that tearing guitar sound that immediately puts you against the wall, literally pinning you down. An album that then expands the musical scope of the band, exploring new territories, delving into unexpected "melodic" openings like in the closing track "Long Distance Runner," which points the way forward in the continuation of a perfect career.

Fugazi: Repeater

15 apr 14

A record that remains, almost twenty-five years after its release, a monolith of exaggerated power, with Ian and Guy's guitar whips ensuring a personal sound that ignites the eardrums; not to mention the lightning-fast rhythm from Brendan and Joe that amplifies it all. And it's the apotheosis of "Turnover" that unleashes the sacred fury of an album deemed essential for anyone who appreciates Fugazi... "We owe you nothing you have no control," declares "Merchandise." Immense.

Anyway, it was an amazing show, one of the ten most beautiful and intense concerts. Their career interruption left a huge void.

I got it in 2001 at the store of the Italian distributor of Dischord, the Wide in Pisa. It's the only one I have, aside from the recently released CD First Demo. This album is more meditative than the others I've heard, showcasing artistic maturity after youthful passion. It's a shame that there's been no talk of recording new material...

I'm glad you remember the wide. I frequented the store, run by knowledgeable people, from 1998 until 2006 when it closed. Among those shelves, I grew musically. Getting to know that place was the best experience of my life.

14 dec 14

I'm laughing happily, but I have chills... Music also brings this. I was musically shaped in a record store in Domodossola, "Il Discaio." I used to spend entire afternoons talking with Walter, the owner, who is now around sixty years old; he had seen all the Rock of the seventies like Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Frank Zappa. And I bitterly remember when it closed down, seven or eight years ago: I told Walter that a part of me ended with that closure... I pause because I'm truly close to tears, believe me.

This time I’m shivering too... I remember the deep pain when, from my home, I announced to them my visit and they told me they would close by the end of the year. Even though I hadn’t lived in Pisa for years due to university, I always called before taking the train. Perhaps because deep down I knew how it would end.

Excellent album, a worthy conclusion to a career, as you’ve already said, perfect. I like this one a bit less compared to the masterpieces of the ’90s, but it’s a matter of nuances.

We have already talked time and time again about the immense musical saga of Fugazi; but it is always a pleasure for me to remember them. Moving on to music shops, you have the obvious privilege of living in a city, and it’s quite simple to gather information about Music; in my past youth, there was no internet or web, and those small shops remained the only source to search for, listen to, and love Music.

But even I, aside from the fact of living in Rome, love hanging around in the smaller shops. Just think that a year ago I stumbled upon one, absolutely by chance, while I was just messing around with some friends. I found this hidden little shop in a secluded back street, it’s called "Pink Moon." I went crazy :D

Ahhhh... Feltrinelli at Largo Argentina! I left a piece of my heart there and, above all, a nice chunk of my wallet this summer in June... :(((. I have always preferred to shop at my 2/3 trusted stores; I'm friends with the owners, we know each other well, I get super discounts, and I spend a big part of Saturday afternoons talking about music with them, maybe listening to something in the meantime. Downloading or online shopping is less than zero - I’m not good at it and I’m not even interested; I made a couple of purchases a while back on eBay and I didn’t have a good experience. They arrived but mega late and with misunderstandings about the type of delivery – it’s not for me...

14 dec 14

The Feltrinelli in Largo Argentina is well-stocked; every time I go there, I die a little inside for what I have to leave on the shelves. The smaller one on Viale Marconi is also well-stocked. I also have a couple of trusted little shops, the ones closest to me; I always go there, and they let me know in advance if they have any gems arriving. I then download without any problems; in fact, I always keep all the mp3s because the iPod at night is an essential companion. But I'm still quite attached to the CD format, so I buy them whenever I can.

Fugazi: Instrument Soundtrack

Released a year after "End Hits" to exemplarily close the nineties; we find ourselves listening to an album tied to the homonymous documentary about the band. The eighteen tracks serve as the perfect soundtrack to provide a precise auditory and visual documentation of what Fugazi was: a unique and unattainable band in the music scene of those years, but not only that; and it seems all too obvious to me to give this album the highest rating as well...PERFECT...

Fugazi: 13 Songs

9 aug 14

The beginning, the genesis of Fugazi; here are gathered the first two mini albums I own on vinyl, released in the years 88/89 for Dischord. Little to say, little to add; it is only right to mention the first song, the brief "Waiting Room" which opens with Joe's martial bass rhythm, giving way to a staccato guitar sound that ultimately explodes, accompanied by the vocal refrain of Ian and Guy: deadly. It is "Margin Walker" that seals my fraternal devotion to the band...ETERNAL...

Fugazi: Steady Diet of Nothing

7 jul 14

It's the second 33 RPM that comes out in 1991 for Fugazi, a band from Washington DC; an album that follows just a year after their electrifying debut full-length "Repeater." It's the "contained" and reflective hardcore of "Exit Only" that opens a work slightly less fierce and physically impactful compared to the groundbreaking first album; but "Runaway Return" makes it clear that their Sacred Fury is still far from fading. Five stars feel appropriate... IMMENSE...

It’s 1993 and Fugazi arrive, furious, at their third long-distance work; it’s the blind, controlled fury of "Facet Squared" that opens the record, followed by the earth-shaking "Public Witness Program." If you can make it through this devastating start unscathed, the listening experience becomes even more powerful and compact as you approach "Smallpox Champion": it’s the ultimate surrender with the guitars of the Picciotto/Mackaye duo annihilating you, like slamming your head against the wall: what a thrill!!!

Fugazi: End Hits

25 jul 14

The year is 1998; the album is the fifth long-distance release for the guys from Washington DC. And the musical quest of Fugazi shows no sign of ending, as they engage in the album of artistic maturity; songs that are more thoughtful and less explosive compared to their early days, although there are still moments where generational anger and ferocity come to the surface. I only need to mention the explosive "Place Position" with its chorus "legal-illegal" that gets stuck in your head instantly, staying there FOREVER...
