A record written with the heart!! A beautiful album, with a Cornell who, in my opinion, will never reach the heights touched in this record (not even in Soundgarden)... Say hi to heaven!!!

    An album dedicated to the dramatic end of a friend; and one of the most beautiful pages of the entire Seattle scene of the nineties. Chris's vocal performance in the opening track reaches heights that are both dramatically intense in terms of emotional tension and enormous and spectacular from an auditory perspective.

    This is a great album, one of the best of the nineties...

    Legendary and essential album because it kicks off the entire Southern rock genre.

    I fully agree...
The Allman Brothers Band: Idlewild South
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Second album, and second masterpiece... No more words needed!!
The Allman Brothers Band: Brothers And Sisters
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
First full album without that monster Duane, but yet another masterpiece! Not even the loss of that six-string genius stopped the Allman Brothers... Among the best albums of the "Southern" scene of all time!
The Allman Brothers Band: Seven Turns
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
The hidden masterpiece of their discography...
The Darkness: Last of Our Kind
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
For me, their best album! "Barbarian" with that stone-breaking riff... "Open Fire" is a track to blast in the car and hit the gas pedal... And then there's the title track, "Mudslide," and the others... I repeat, their most successful album! (4.5)
The Darkness: Permission To Land
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
Very entertaining album from the first to the last track. Personally, I didn't find any filler throughout (of course, everyone has their own opinion)... However, a 5 seemed excessive to me. A 4 and that’s it!
The Doors: Waiting For The Sun
CD Audio I have it ★★★
Good, but not entirely exceptional.
The Doors: The Doors
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes
Again

    This is an album as dark as it is sunny, now it’s being called a classic... but what fascinated me most about the Doors is (apart from the story, which was a film in every sense) their foundational culture... Blake, Nietzsche, Huxley, Greek tragedies, the brilliant theatricality of Morrison, singer/poet, concerts as rituals, ceremonies, masses, that sense of sadness that permeates both the lyrics and the music; their brotherhood, fiercely protected by Morrison... the beach house overlooking the Pacific... it comes naturally to me that aside from the (technical) monstrosity of the four, they were a perfect and fundamental group for the music to come.

    I have so many things to say... because they are a group I could talk about for centuries and centuries, and especially listen to their entire discography... right now I feel like mentioning Indian Summer from Morrison Hotel, what can I say... or Queen of the Highway... so many memories indeed... I've known them for 21 years... and I don't know what I would give to attend one of their concerts with Jim... maybe even in a dream!

    In a dream? Maybe... just think what a psychedelic journey it would be... possibly instead of Jim, I would have sung :) always with the permission of the lizard king, of course.

    A landmark album, like others by Morrison and the guys. I love this Californian group, truly essential and magical...

    I almost forgot another important thing: shamanism! Take that, bitols... always without offense! :)

    In the end, I re-evaluated all their albums up to 1971. I’m happy about it, but this remains unattainable: THE masterpiece of The Doors.
  • east of eden80

    It has something unique, because all the songs were born in a favorable atmosphere... the result of many rehearsals and, in addition, evenings spent in clubs; these experiences gave the first two albums the genuineness and spontaneity needed to help the band and their art mature... without the excessive pressures from producers and record labels... being still an emerging group... then there was the contamination of the business... but after all, "Morrison Hotel" and "L.A. Woman" remain masterpieces, with songs that have become classics, like "Roadhouse Blues" and "Riders on the Storm" just to mention a few... all significant for what has been the history of the Doors and Morrison!
  • hjhhjij

    "L. A. Woman" is definitely a splendid album, no doubt about it. But the others are good too, although I wouldn't place them among the albums of a lifetime. At first, they almost made me sick, can you believe it (not The Doors, just those two or three albums)?
  • east of eden80

    The Soft Parade and Waiting for the Sun? Well, they're not that bad...
  • hjhhjij

    Exactly, they're not that bad. I've reevaluated them a bit.
The Doors: Morrison Hotel
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
The disk of rebirth!
The Doors: L.A. Woman
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
It's not my favorite, but it contains my favorite song by the band (L.A. Woman), then "Riders on the Storm", "Love Her Madly", etc... A little gem of an album, in short...

    Truly a blues gem...here Morrison's voice is at its peak in my opinion, gritty, suffering, schizophrenic...great album anyway.
The Doors: Strange Days
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
It may be inferior to the first, but how can you not give a 5 to a record like this?
  • Psychopathia

    I will tell you... since I know the first one by heart (I used to listen to it when I was very young), nowadays if I have to listen to the Doors again, I prefer this one a thousand times!
The Jimi Hendrix Experience: Are You Experienced
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
It was 1967 and the great Jimi Hendrix with his "Experience" released what is one of the most beautiful, most astonishing (musically speaking) albums of all time.... It sounds damn good even today, and 48 years have passed!!! If you have the remastered version, with tracks like Purple Haze and Hey Joe (just to name a couple), then the pleasure triples!!!!

    He was beyond. His music was already fusion long before many others. It's a pity he died so young; a collaboration with Miles Davis was already in the works, who knows what a show that would have been...
The Jimi Hendrix Experience: Axis: Bold As Love
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Look, she’s passing through the clouds
With a tightrope spirit running wild
Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams and fairy tales
This has always been the world of her thoughts
Riding with the wind
When I’m sad she comes to me
To gift me a thousand smiles
It's all right, she says, it’s all right
Take From Me Everything You Want
Whatever it is, whatever it is
Fly Little Wing
Yes yes yes yes Baby

    It seems to me that those "stories of doing" in English are fairy tales, which is not quite what this is.

    I didn't mean to offend anyone; it's just that the lyrics of English songs translated into Italian are always dreadful. Everyone knows English.
The Rolling Stones: Let It Bleed
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Let's say that during that time, they didn't get anything wrong...
The Rolling Stones: Sticky Fingers
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
I don't know if it's the highest peak they've reached. I only know that it's an amazing album!!!

    They will reach the peak with the next EXILE ON MY STREET, in my opinion the most beautiful album ever.
The Rolling Stones: Aftermath
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
A record that approaches perfection!
  • fuggitivo

    It would be even more perfect if there were a UK mono version on CD.
The Who: The Who Sell Out
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
Album that kicks off a series of incredible albums...
The Who: My Generation
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
A too important, historical album... Giving less than 5 is impossible for me!!
The Who: Who's Next
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Needless to add words to the album in question... A masterpiece that doesn't require my "judgments" and the usual phrases heard too many times... I waste a little more time on the cover instead, which, in my opinion, is the most beautiful cover in history...

    A part of my heart, this record.
The Who: Quadrophenia
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
For me, it’s not a masterpiece; rather, it’s something greater, something indefinable... The term masterpiece doesn’t do it justice as it should... One of the most beautiful albums I have ever listened to!!
The Who: Tommy
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
A rounded 5. For me, just a tad below "Quadrophenia" and "Who's Next"...
Thin Lizzy: Black Rose
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
It’s probably their compositional peak... Incredibly inspired with a remarkably sharp band, and then the title track, gentlemen! An extraordinary piece that deserves to be counted among the best Rock songs of all time!!
Thin lizzy: jailbreak
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
"Jailbreak," "The Boys are back in Town," "Emerald," etc... I believe we can confidently give it a solid 5!
Thin Lizzy: Thunder and Lightning
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
An album that departs from their previous productions due to its more "heavy" vein, but it deserves a lot. (4.5)
Tool: Ænima
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Screw you, piece of shit, and go suck cock on a plane!
Tool: Undertow
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
Album that I have reevaluated over time... It grows with each listen... Not their best, but sweeps away a mountain of records with a single note from any song on the album...

    It's actually dropped a bit for me over the years, but it still remains an old love. I should also have the double vinyl somewhere, now that I think about it.

    This and "Aenima" I like 1000 times more than that prog meatloaf that I'd better not mention for my own safety. ahahahah. de gustibus.

    No, no, no, I have to resist... I can't do it, it's stronger than me... Aaahhh!!!! Lateralus and 10,000 Days are way better than this and Aenima!

    I actually like it too, it sounds better. The ones after? I don’t know. Too loooong. I know, I’m a bit out of it (and really bad) but for a couple of years my perfect album doesn’t go over 45 minutes. It’s the damn serenase’s fault; if I listened to Lateralus today, I’d fall asleep in my chair like what happened to me with Zeitgeist by the Pumpkins (and there’s not even a comparison between the two albums, I know).
  • ziltoid

    Come on Zannus, 10,000 Days is a joke compared to the previous ones.
  • ZannaB

    Oh, what can I say, I like a bottous! This one, for example, I find bland and lacking in bite, devoid of the spark of genius they will later show. In a (banal) word: immature.
