Mmm..two reviews of this album and both give it five stars. My copy has two inches of dust on it, I've listened to it maybe three times at most and never got to the end...but could it be that I just don't understand a damn thing about music?

Sure, this still needs to come out "legally," but the electronic mule works wonders, right Vivio?
Anyway, you "have to" read these reviews again before sending them... with the spelling mistakes, credibility is lost.

Gianmaria Testa Da Questa Parte Del Mare

Well, a bit harsh on the Barbareschi and the Nebbioli who have managed to maintain their own identity and market, without compromising like the various Sassicaia, Ornellaia, etc. ... the same goes for Gianmaria Testa. Seen live, he possesses an incisive humor and an unimaginable wit. De Andrè had a tendency to rally his crowds, while Testa has chosen to let his music speak for itself and keep his persona at bay. A choice that doesn't demonstrate a lack of personality, but rather a lack of protagonism.

Great Dave, great. If only you spent a little less time on childish controversies in other people's reviews and a bit more time writing reviews like this one....maybe even the editors would appreciate it.

I'm just stopping by to say that many have tried to reason with DaveJon, but all attempts have failed. It doesn't seem worth our time. We've tried to explain to him that no one is questioning his tastes, but that the arrogance, pretentiousness, and superficiality with which he usually intervenes is unacceptable and disrespectful toward those who write reviews, putting in some effort. I would avoid opening another controversy here, if only to not ruin this page as well by giving yet another satisfaction to his egocentrism. And, Dave, don't think for a second that I will take the trouble to respond to you, either here or elsewhere, to the objections you will surely raise.

Everything is very nice and very right. But is this track by track at the end really necessary? In my opinion, no, it breaks the rhythm and is a bit hard to digest. Oh, damn, I'm becoming such a pain…

I confirm geek. It was expected for early autumn, but then the release got delayed. Now, reading Pollock's posts on her site, it should be a matter of weeks, if not days.

I just want to say to those who are not familiar with this group that by clicking on the link to the right "Label Site," you can stream all the tracks from this album. A thanks, a bit cheeky, also to the little elves for their super-speed in publishing and for including the hyperlink to Chemical Underground in the text. Much appreciated.

So, the review is a bit rough, a bit of chatter, no significant technical notes to back up the ideas presented, and some awkward grammatical errors (pò with the accent uber alles). Anyway, we are all amateurs in this endeavor and this is our Corrida. And deep down, Vivio, you’re new to the trade and it shows that you put in effort. I simply won't rate it because it doesn't add anything to the existing reviews of the same album. I do agree with you that the album is very underrated and can actually be counted among the best of Blur's production. It would be a 4.5 that we can round up to five. Best wishes.
