I fully agree, wonderful...

p.s. I who have never picked up an instrument: if I were locked in a recording studio for a few days, I would probably already be able to play the record, both for the guitar and the keyboard...

the link works after a few seconds, I would like your opinion. then, of course, if you don’t like them you have every right not to listen to them, no worries :)

Hi psyco. Firstly, I’m sorry to disappoint you, knowing that you like Rammstein; my outburst came because I tried to give them a chance with this album. Unfortunately, I just can’t do it – I lost interest by the second track. Despite that, I tried to hang on until almost the end, but ended up stopping. I know I shouldn’t, in terms of a serious evaluation, but I still reported my feelings in the assessment above. At this point, I also apologize for the first sentence; maybe I exaggerated, but, as I said, I was really "scazzato..." That said, I know and like Laibach (including the piece you posted). I have Opus Dei and I always enjoy listening to it. Why them and not the others? Look, it’s the same comparison I always make between Rush and Dream Theater: the latter are just (in my opinion) a bad copy of everything the Canadians said with their albums. For me, the Laibach-Rammstein comparison works exactly like that; besides, I also find the Slovenians superior, musically speaking.

Hi there, thanks for the message :)

but there's no problem at all! You're right to say what you want, even if it's from the gut. I just replied because I think we can have a conversation with you :) see you next time

You can't compare the schwedeneisbecher with the Nordic pines... Burzum spent 17 years in "hotel," as he called it... and Quorthon miserably collapsed in the middle of the satanic marathon... can you even compare with these DDR nostalgics?

Seriously, it makes me a bit sad...

I also wrote a review :) La Vita E' Bella - Roberto Benigni - Recensione di madcat

I read it, dear, I read them all before writing this definition. It's pointless to tell you that for me the best one is yours, but not to kiss ass, but because it's true: the only user who understood the true spirit of the film.

Thank you very much, Dragonstar!

I didn't like it, but I think it's my limitation: I can't stand touching stories at the cinema.

I'm a hopeless romantic :-) these films make me cry buckets of tears, I can't help it. Masterpiece for me too!
I recommend a similar film, TRAIN DE VIE, maybe just a tad better than this one.

I saw it in 2000, very beautiful that one too. Thanks for the mention, you reminded me of a great movie!

We are beyond the limits of bearability. It's true that you are born a pyromaniac and die a firefighter (or a pump operator) so many times.

The folkloric and galloping title track is a fantastic plagiarism of a song by the Crazy Horse written by Neil Young (Dance, dance, dance).

What the hell does that have to do with anything? Even Whole Lotta Love by the Zep is a plagiarism of Willie Dixon, and yet everyone is fine with that. At least Samarcanda features different vocal lines and, above all, a different text. If you have the courage to criticize this album, I can’t help but imagine that, despite your undeniable culture, your musical preferences must be pretty limited... how sad...

Come on, as a comparison it's a bit out of place. You need love is a completely different song from whole lotta love. We can put it however we want, but the violin riff from Samarcanda is very similar. I also really love Samarcanda; it was one of my favorite songs back in elementary school.

My favorite remains 'Canzone per Sergio', with lyrics of rare beauty.

I miss this, for example. Well, I barely know 4-5 of the Prof's good albums.

I completely agree with you. TSMR is a very underrated album. In my opinion, it’s even better than "Beggar's Banquet." For many, this may seem heretical, but I would encourage taking a moment to think about it before jumping to conclusions.

You know, in fact, that I wanted to write it too; I almost prefer this. Banquet is more varied: it has the opener that encapsulates the compositional method applied in this album, there’s even a great final gospel, passing through moments of country, blues, hard blues, and rock & roll. The manifesto of the Stones, we said, and that's fine by me.

I am passionate about psychedelic rock, especially from the period of '66 to '70, which is why I found this album a pure masterpiece, perhaps even better than its predecessor, I have no problem saying it.

I also think it’s a nice album. I like Banquet less because it's too bluesy for my taste, but I recognize its greatness.

Of the golden period, it’s the only one I never listen to. Not ever. I just don’t like it because there’s this "trendy" psychedelic influence, let’s say (not that eclecticism and the echo of new trends are negative, but in my opinion, the experiment here didn’t succeed like it did in Between The Buttons, which is truly eclectic and perhaps too underrated). I’m glad they set aside certain sounds. Considering that afterwards they gave us Beggars, Let It Bleed (my favorite), Sticky Fingers, and Exile, I’d say it’s much better this way.

But the album is beautiful, that's undeniable. It's just that "Aftermath" and "Il quartetto delle meraviglie" with its blend of Blues/Rock'n roll/R&B/Soul etc. is, FOR ME, superior. I choose "Beggar's Banquet" without a second thought compared to this, but that doesn't take away from the beauty of this work. They dove into psychedelia because you can hear so, so, so much Jones here (to be honest, also in "Aftermath") and Jones was the most "psychedelic" spirit of the group.

Masterpieces are above all those records (like "Stormcock," "Astral Weeks," "Songs of Leonard Cohen"; just to give three examples) where with few means (guitar, voice, and little else, without resorting to electronics and without falling into self-indulgent experimentation) a remarkable depth and a wide range of atmospheres and different sensations are achieved. I hope to find this record somewhere because I really want to keep it on my shelf.

My favorite by the Rash, however, I haven't listened to in ages; I might have changed my mind.

The epic, however, is one of the ugliest things to have ever existed in music, if you ask me.

Well, for better or for worse, I think it has set an example anyway :)

Rush...and you know what you're listening to.
