Luciano Ligabue: Fuori come va?

Unexpectedly, after an unforeseen misstep, here he is once again showing off a form that is at times convincing. "Nato per me" is a rock track that leaves its mark, as does "Ti sento," a sentimental ballad. What falters are the singles, hits that are catchy (too catchy) and easy to latch onto.

Growing compared to previous works, he almost seems to guess a couple of tracks without even trying: "Siamo chi siamo"; "Per sempre". He has the habit of pontificating ("Il sale della terra") and the love songs ("Tu sei lei") are among the least bland he has ever written. Not bad. volerlo:

In theory, a "greatest hits." Squeezed onto the length of an LP are his most famous (and, at the time, best-selling) 45s. In any case, a masterpiece: modern Italian pop starts here. capolavoro:

Increasingly self-confident, he delivers complex and elaborate melodies that are almost unthinkable for any other Italian colleague. Sometimes he goes overboard ("Gente per bene gente per male"), but often he hits the mark ("La luce dell'est"; "Confusione"; the title track). Record sales.

He sells, oversells, and becomes a hit with the catchy tune co-written with Samuele Bersani, "Canzone". He seems more in tune with his audience (and not only them) than ever before in his career, but the album is disappointing, and "Ayrton" pales in comparison with "Nuvolari" from twenty years earlier.

Two lengths longer than the previous "Com'è profondo il mare" (weighed down by too many forgettable tracks), this album opens the decade (at least until 1988) that is the most "clean" and prolific of Dalla. No filler songs, just 40-carat gems destined to become part of every Italian's collective memory, open-air poems ("Tango"; "Milano"; "L'anno che verrà"; "Anna e Marco"; "L'ultima luna"). A masterpiece.

Culmine by Mango is one of the most beautiful Italian albums of all time. Pleasant, soothing, charming just the right amount, it skillfully blends local pop with Mediterranean sounds closer to Greece: "Nella mia città" and "Tu... sì" are two Perugina kisses that hit the mark, but the title track and the big single "Come Monna Lisa" are gems above the average of Italian music of that era. Gran Mogol wrote the lyrics. Grecia:
Michael Curtiz: Casablanca
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
One of the most beautiful and important films of the 1940s and of cinema as a whole, a work that was discussed many years ago by Umberto Eco, who described its plot as something that transcended the idea of film itself and became legend. Strangely, no one has reviewed it on Debaser yet, so I'll take care of that.
  • Precisely because it is such an important film, about which much has been written, it is difficult to review... even though I have watched it many times.
oasis: (what's the story) morning glory
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
16 jul 11:27
The perfect, or almost perfect, Oasis. They push hard on the pedal of the most consumable pop and hit a series of almost admirable harmonies and choruses, riffs and melodies. "Wonderwall" is the calling card of English pop for the decade (and even Thom Yorke would fall under its spell), while the piano opening of "Don't Look Back in Anger" benignly reveals an undying Beatles passion that the Gallagher brothers have never hidden. It's also worth mentioning the remarkable "Roll with it" and "Cast no shadow," as well as the masterful closing entrusted to the nearly 8 minutes of the epic "Champagne Supernova."
Oasis: Definitely Maybe
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
16 jul 11:36
Seven (!) platinum records mark the debut of the most controversial group (loved and hated in equal measure) of '90s Brit-pop. The melodies and moods are typical of the most radio-friendly pop, and that’s a limitation, but the execution is of immense sophistication, which is a merit. Tracks like "Live Forever" and "Cigarettes & Alcohol" hit the mark effortlessly: young people follow them with an enthusiasm (perhaps) worthy of a better cause, but Oasis, at this moment, are in spectacular form, despite the already escalating tensions between the Gallagher brothers, destined to explode in the years to come.
16 jul 11:14
Considered, wrongly, a minor work (like the previous album, "Non calpestare i fiori nel deserto"), it is, in reality, a record as simple as it is refined, where immediacy is not always a mortal sin. On the radio, the smash hit "Che male c'è" bounces around, followed closely by the delicate "Dubbi non ho." He is in tune with the public as he hasn't been for a long time: Pino Daniele's carefree '90s years have, all things considered, been a blessing from Heaven.

Having put aside sequins and glitter, he tries to reinvent himself as a straightforward singer-songwriter with an extremely long double LP which, when it comes down to it, is utterly boring. "Amico" shoots him up the charts, but the rest (including the dreadful "Onda gay") is pure embellishment. Deeply on the decline.
Roberto Vecchioni: Blumùn

15 jul 10:29
Vecchioni from the late '80s and, broadly speaking, the '90s I believe is the best (perhaps even more than the, to this day indigestible, '70s one). "Blumùn" is a caress that never stops moving me: from the title track to "Euridice," from the rustic yet classy fun of "Saggio di danza classica e moderna" to the emotions, honestly never held back, of "Il mago della pioggia." Towards the end it falters (the last two tracks are mediocre), but it’s an album I will continue to be fascinated by. emozionarmi:

    16 jul 09:07
    Agreed on Vecchioni late '80s-'90s (and even beyond). But I do not agree at all on the "indigestible" Vecchioni of the '70s. Il re non si diverte, Ipertensione, Elisir, Samarcanda, Calabuig stranamore and other incidents, Robinson are for me everything but indigestible...

It can be said that he gave everything in this sensational double album, considering the scarcity of "genius" that will affect him from this point onward ("I just called to say I love you" included). The tastes are like those of an ice cream parlor, every palate is satisfied: from the sharp "Village Ghetto Land" to the party of "Sir Duke," from the love for his daughter in "Isn't she lovely" to the 8 minutes of "Black man," and let's not forget (actually, let's talk about it) the softness of the 7 minutes of "As" and the contagious joy of "Another Star" (my favorite track). I’ve only mentioned a few, but there are also "I Wish"; "Pastime Paradise"; "Joy Inside My Tears"; "Saturn." Wonder. accontentato:

They go to Sanremo with "Tutti i miei sbagli" and suddenly, half of Italy knows them. Their second album soars in the charts thanks also to good quality and a very high rate of potential hits ("Colpo di pistola"; "Liberi tutti"; "Discolabirinto"), even though their manifesto (cultural and existential) is "Il mio DJ." Electronics at an excellent level, with contributions from Morgan, Daniele Silvestri, and DJ Coccoluto.
20 jul 12:49
Extremely light (almost ethereal) pop that, surprisingly, works like clockwork: "Due destini" and the title track are huge hits on the radio and, as a result, sell like hotcakes. At Sanremo with "Strade" they hold their own: well done, bravo, encore. orologeria: sfigurano:
Tiziano Ferro: Alla Mia Età
CD Audio I have it ★★
11 jul 10:01
Third work by the artist from Latina, the first not produced by the Salerno/Maionchi duo. The previous album ("Nessuno è solo") already sounded like a step back compared to the r&b that characterized the first two albums (Canova's production helped a lot), this one is an unbearable whining in which our guy tells us, through music, all his little and big existential dramas almost as if the audience were his psychiatrist. There’s Fossati ("Indietro"), there’s Battiato ("Il tempo stesso") but there’s (a lot) little substance, only the curious "La traversata dell'estate" and the big single "Il regalo più grande" save the album. Not much, Mr. Ferro.

Miracle: the album isn't bad. Weakened by an illness that forced him into a long hiatus, he returns with a sorrowful, definitely autobiographical record. Nothing exceptional, but it's his best since 1993. Miracolo:
Vasco Rossi: Il Supervissuto

16 jul 15:34
A compilation of already well-known tracks plus an unreleased song ("Gli sbagli che fai") of very light (to say the least) craftsmanship. He stars in a TV series, "Il supervissuto," which tells the story of his feats and legends. Despite everything, he’s still going full throttle.

Vasco Rossi: Gli Spari Sopra

16 jul 15:43
The "new" Vasco is a bundle of fury and anger, but he channels it in a confused way. The album, one of the artist's most famous best-sellers, is too long and inconsistent. "Stupendo" is a generational manifesto that leaves its mark; "Vivere" is the track that moves, and surprises, the fans. But there is also a lot—too much—of unnecessary clutter and here and there there’s a bit of self-pity. The mountain has labored and brought forth a mouse.
  • withor
    17 jul 09:00
    This is still one of his best pour moi. And even if it might sound heretical to you, I prefer it to "Liberi liberi." Vivere, Stupendo, Lo show, Non appari mai, L'uomo che hai di fronte, Delusa, Ci credi, Gli spari sopra—all great tracks.
16 jul 15:25
Now resigned (or satisfied?) to the joys of home life, he loses his anger, inventiveness, and anarchy (but, truth be told, he had already lost them some time ago). He calls Polanski (parbleu) and has him direct the video for "Gli angeli," but his aura does not cross Italian borders. "Sally" is a masterpiece; what revolves around it is (much) less.
  • withor
    17 jul 09:06
    It’s not one of his best, but it includes Sally, Gli angeli, Un gran bel film, and Mi si escludeva. Maybe I’m easy to please, but I also find the title track irresistible.

It's a sales record: Vasco seems to be totally in sync with his (inexhaustible) audience. But the album is one of the worst in his discography: as monotonous as a flatlining EEG, needlessly frivolous (and stupid) at many points, exhausting in its obsessive quest for any kind of chorus ("Un senso"). It dominates radio and TV, commercials and billboards. But it (seems) to have nothing left to say. vendite: discografia:

Vasco, having shed the guise of the anarchic rocker from the mid-'80s, is (by now) a serene gentleman, satisfied and "intoxicated" by his newfound family happiness. His songs reflect this, sometimes predictable ("Io no"), sometimes "paracule" ("Quanti anni hai"). The delicate "Laura" is spared, but there’s little substance otherwise.
