Deep Purple Total Abandon - Live In Australia '99

15 oct 09

Voto:

Passionate review but with a few too many mistakes (Morse only plays Music Man guitars!). For the rest, I must say this is an excellent live album (like almost all of Purple's live records), especially thanks to the impressive sound of Morse's guitar. Unfortunately, Gillan wasn't at his best vocally during that tour, and the poor tracks from Abandon included in the setlist certainly don't help. As for the '90s, I still prefer "Live at Olympia" (the whole band was in top form during the Purpendicular tour), even though the best live albums from that era are undoubtedly the bootlegs from the tour with Satriani...

A film that strikes you especially for that grey tone that crushes and unsettles the viewer. Truly a beautiful film.

At the time, the Mariachi trilogy seemed like an absolute load of crap to me, especially the third chapter, which I don't hesitate to call the worst movie I've ever seen in theaters. As for Vampires, I would say it's a step down from From Dusk Till Dawn; it doesn't seem like one of Carpenter's better works (a director I adore, who is on another planet compared to Rodriguez).

Absolute cult. One of the few decent films by Rodriguez.

There are no "children's books." Great review.

Ian Gillan One Eye To Morocco

Gillan as a solo artist has always loved to experiment, with results that vary greatly. Nonetheless, this is a good album that is very enjoyable to listen to.

@Alia
I evaluate a film based on what it intends to be: if a film that aims to entertain does so brilliantly, then for me that film has achieved its purpose, and consequently, I rate it very positively. I have never understood why a "serious" or "thought-provoking" film should inherently be considered better than a comedy or a light-hearted film without too many pretensions. I believe that every genre has equal dignity, that’s all.

Too much rhetoric, not to mention demagoguery. Spielberg is a great entertainer, perhaps one of the best, but when he puts himself on a pedestal to teach a lesson, I just can't stand it (see also that other piece of crap, Munich).

Delightful film: summery, entertaining, carefree, sunny. The only downside is Pierce Brosnan, who always has the same dazed face: how did he become an actor? I don't know...
