The single by Baustelle has been in rotation on Radio Deejay for a while now, and this week they were guests of Linus and Nicola.

Batdance by Prince, from my point of view, is art. The discussion would be long and, of course, it doesn't concern the lyrics which I don't care much about, but only the aesthetic and conceptual aspect. I find it ridiculous to compare Prince, from a musical standpoint, to Baustelle: the former is a first-rate genius, the latter a good band that enjoys very favorable criticism from the Italian intelligentsia but little more than that. And the lyrics of Charlie fa surf (which also starts from an excellent intuition) are the classic example of what I mean.

Of course, I listened to the whole album, even if superficially, and it didn't convince me.

mediocre group exalted because it rides the return of a certain radical chic. just think of "Charlie fa surf," a nice song from a musical standpoint but with an unpresentable text passed off as art. come on...

Sin City seemed like bullshit to me, but it's the classic film that you either love or hate. I'm also against those who want to "remake" movies or comics: cinema is an expressive medium in its own right and, as such, must reinterpret the products it draws inspiration from (in this case, the comic).
Unbreakable is stunning; I think it's a true masterpiece: however, it is inevitably a niche film because it starts from premises that are absolutely not mainstream. Let's say it's a classic example of a perfect fusion between high and low genres.

the most overrated album by the Maiden, the one that literally saved them anyway. for the rest, the review is crap. up the irons!

@holdsworth
I only partially agree with you: given that I am a fanatic of the purple & family, it is evident that since the reunion only two albums are up to standard, namely Perfect Strangers and Purpendicular (and the latter is still heavily criticized). As for the Rolling Stones, they have stopped making significant albums for at least twenty years; the same goes for Pink Floyd, not to mention Led Zeppelin who, as a duo, haven't produced anything worth listening to since '80... If we’re talking about live performances (including live albums), then everything changes: here we’re talking about stage monsters, and live they absolutely blow everything else away, that’s not up for debate (even though the Rolling Stones have become corpses...). But this also applies to Iron Maiden, who are perhaps one of the best live bands of all time. Regarding creative drive, I believe it came to a close with Piece of Mind, even though they've continued to put out great albums at least until Seventh Son (a matter that is quite debatable). I have a theory about this: at a certain point, artists of a certain caliber stop innovating from a creative standpoint because they've found their ideal status, and all their subsequent works are merely refinements to enhance that particular status (which is why there’s a repetitiveness). Clearly, all of this discussion makes no sense with Zappa because it makes no sense to compare Zappa to any other musician...

Unbreakable is inspired by comic books (the director is a huge fan), but it's not based on any comic. Great film anyway, in my opinion incredibly underrated...

I've never really appreciated Metallica that much (let's say from Ride the Lightning to the Black Album), and I haven't even listened to those albums. On the other hand, it's different with Iron Maiden since I grew up with them, and in front of their albums, I lose any ability to be objective. And despite everything, I realize how bad this record is (oh my... unbearable... but why did Steve insist on producing the albums... whatever, let's change the subject).
@CaptainHowdy
In the comments about Maiden (especially on these terrible albums), anything goes, including responses to fake ones :D

I look around and see poor children... @scemochilegge: it's normal for a band to lose its innovative edge over the years; there isn't one that, after the first 4 or 5 albums, has managed to create masterpieces. That doesn’t change the fact that decent albums are still produced (which, obviously, is not our case given the vomit of this record, and I'm saying this as someone who loves Iron).

I apologize for the polemic (as I mentioned, I haven't seen the film), but doesn't it seem to you that the ideal of "dropping everything and leaving" is just as standardized and stale as what it seeks to combat? I mean, someone who behaves so radically, to the point of risking their life, doesn't come off as simply childish and foolish? I have much more respect for those who isolate themselves to live as hermits or in similar places but with a clear life project; however, based on what is told, it seems to me that the protagonist's choice of life is an adolescent folly that makes no sense. I repeat, I do not intend this as a criticism of the film I haven't seen, but rather of the ideal behind it...
