There isn't one that isn't beautiful, Stipe, and Together Alone is a great album too, as well as some unreleased tracks on Afterglow and Recurring Dream... I find them almost genius.

Yes Stipe, I have it and I've worn it out from listening to it...

I forgot to mention the title of a ballad, even though I commented on it; it's "Silent House." Pardon..

"Io se fossi Dio" is part of the tour but not of the album (on vinyl) "Anni affollati." It’s not among the best, although tracks like "1981" and "Gildo" have a devastating force. My favorite is "Il sosia," where Gaber analyzes himself as if he were an external observer, with almost angry tones. "Luciano" is a hilarious little sketch. An interesting album, but I wouldn’t place it at the top of his production. Good review.

Unmovable pillar of Italian comedy, as if it were antani for her, clearly.....

The Votes...

Immortal classic. Five stars are the minimum starting point. Totò and Aldo Fabrizi in the Kingdom of Supreme Art. Infinite thanks for having existed and for existing nonetheless, still.

The review is good and thorough, but I partially disagree with the assessment. This album is certainly better than Vapor Trails in terms of production, stylistic variations, and the retrieval of some sounds (especially acoustic and melodic) that have long been missing. In my humble opinion, Rush, since they absurdly gave up keyboards, have lost much of that charm and originality that made them a unique and unparalleled phenomenon in the history of rock. Since 2112, the band has produced a series of extraordinary albums, a true work in progress in which Rush consistently surpassed themselves; this is how titanic albums like Hemispheres, Moving Pictures, and Power Windows were born. In short, despite the quality of the current music (with Vapor Trails being a misstep), Rush no longer captivates, precisely because they have chosen a more profitable yet musically more ordinary path. In Snakes and Arrows, only "The main monkey business" made me relive the atmospheres that had made me fall in love with their music, and not by chance there are the keyboards, albeit in a timid background. The album is objectively good and I enjoy listening to it, but for years now, they are something else. Paraphrasing the clichés of couple sparring, "Rush, I hold you in high regard and I care about you...but I don't love you anymore."

I didn't think of any singer names because the songs are just the way they are. It could have been Drake himself, with a few extra liters of air in his lungs...bye!
