I strongly agree with the note regarding Densomre, often overlooked. Another drummer would not have made this band so great.

Morrison was a great songwriter, but he had a mediocre voice; unique was the intensity of his performances (five to one, both live and studio, is always spine-chilling), while his poetry is bland and childish. >> Morrison a mediocre voice? If you tell me that he’s fundamentally not really a singer, in the sense that technically there's no point in discussing it, I can accept that, but I thought he had an amazing voice: bluesy, warm, and with his slurred accent, a real added value. Not to mention that he fit perfectly with the Doors. Then all this talk about the poet surrounding Jim is starting to sound laughable; it's a construction of his own that has been fueled by everyone else. Jim was someone who wrote lyrics that were unique (or rare) in rock at the time, and that’s where this whole mental gymnastics about the poet/not poet stems from. Half (or more) of the quotes on Facebook are not even his, considering that I've translated a bunch of Doors songs and none of these little phrases are there. Maybe they took them from his two books, but frankly, I don’t think so, given the not particularly notable dissemination he enjoyed. The live performance is overall fine; it's nothing special, but I find it conveys very well what a Doors concert was like during that period.

Who knows why this album, which could very well be from some random unknown band (and not unjustly) is liked so much. And especially, who knows why when we talk about Josh Homme the first band that comes to mind is Queens of the Stone Age, as if he had been the last of the idiots before.

"I have no respect for zombies. I hate these beings who consume my air, who exploit my taxes, who one day will retire at my expense simply because they're considered human, and who have nothing human about them. I do not respect zombies, but I deeply love men, and that is why I spend my time searching among the zombies for a just one, among the boxes of records, among the shelves of a library. Because I search for men, I search for those who are like me." Without words.

You did well, in Turin they played the whole new album, leaving very little room for the big hits from the past, just Il Primo Dio, Il tempo scorre lungo i bordi, Fuoco Fatuo, and Le città viste dall'alto... then it was a nice concert, a bit too boring at times, but nice... if however the latest album made you feel like shit xD

Individually, the pieces are all very beautiful, except for Fausto, which I don’t know, there's something that doesn’t convince me, but the album as a whole is too monolithic (if you know what I mean)... it goes on and you start to wonder when there will be the tougher piece, which doesn’t arrive as usual. But Alessio, just because they made an album you didn't like doesn't mean they’ve become ridiculous, right? The latest Marlene is ridiculous (this time, yes, Godano is starting to get on my nerves too, annoying), but this work, despite being critiquable on some fronts (and even heavily, I’d say), I find absolutely dignified in the end.

Historical analysis? Fair enough, but why do I listen to the Beatles and like them, while I can’t stand Vasco? His records are recorded atrociously, the songs have pretty lamentable melodies, and his voice is even worse (I’m not saying he can't sing, since even Bob Dylan couldn’t do it well, but it’s just unbearable). I don’t deny that he represented something new for his time, but not everything "never heard before" deserves praise, and the reason why Vasco is liked remains a mystery to me.

Happy to see that you give a bad rating to Vasco. Although I still don't understand where all this genius was supposed to be in the early albums, which, based on some positive opinions I've read here on deb, I tried to listen to a bit more carefully, but nothing, they have a horrible sound, the songs are really terrible, not even decent, and I can't grasp where the genius would be. Live, come on, unfortunately, I've had to sit through a few videos too; how can you say he's doing his thing well? in 2010?? It's not out of spite, but it really sucks, both in the studio and live.

No no, I didn't confuse punkreas, I think I expressed myself poorly in the comment, due to rushing. I'm not against the groups themselves, most of which might even be "real" (I've listened to Klasse Kriminale, but I don't know them deeply); rather, I'm against all these "rude boys" who have just come out, they would be the new "punks," and they flood me with so much nonsense about the proletariat (which, by the way, votes for the Lega), street life, and they sound so fake, considering they come from absolutely wealthy families, so they talk completely empty. It's not a good thing.

Look, I know what you're talking about, since the friends I have in my little town are "rude boys." I find everything: the beer, the girls, the leather jackets, the suspenders, the scooters, the combat boots, the tight jeans, the street, the rebellion, but above all the proletarian anger you talk about, a load of crap. For heaven's sake, oi is a movement that made sense at a certain time, and shaving your head might have meant something. Now who are these new "punks" to talk to me about proletarian anger? Them? Spending their days in the big attic they have for a room (non-proletarian parents) smoking joints and playing on the PlayStation (which, don't get me wrong, is not so bad, but then don't come at me with proletarian anger, street life, and all that stuff since it makes no fucking sense).
