U2 Zooropa

27 oct 06

Voto:

This is where the U2 crisis begins. First half, from "Boy" to "Achtung Baby" (all very nice), from "Zooropa" onwards it’s the second half, very ugly.

I would like to remind those who give it a 1 (and have obviously never listened to the album) that it contains long suites of 12 minutes and that pop blends with classical symphonies. If you only know "Chi fermerà la musica" or "Tanta voglia di lei" or various crap, you don't know anything about the Pooh. Anyway, it's not a masterpiece, but it's certainly the best album by the Pooh, and one of the best to come out in Italy during that time.

Neil Young Silver & Gold

27 oct 06

Voto:

Albums I'm not familiar with, even though the latest Neil Young seems excessively sugary and soporific to me. But then again, it all comes down to personal taste; the works of Young that I hold most dear are from at least twenty years ago.

Pink Floyd Meddle

27 oct 06

Voto:

Jim Morrison, do you know what you lack? Respect for opinions. If for me "The Final Cut" is the lowest point of Pink Floyd and for you it's not, that’s not nonsense, it’s a matter of perspectives.

Jethro Tull Thick As A Brick

27 oct 06

Voto:

Among the best in the group, but I prefer "Stand Up." More than excellent review.

Adriano Celentano Svalutation

26 oct 06

Voto:

One of Celentano's most beautiful songs, and it's not that I go crazy listening to it. However, this one and "Azzurro" are acceptable, the rest much less so.

Pink Floyd Meddle

26 oct 06

Voto:

Not as bad as "The Final Cut" (perhaps the lowest point reached by Pink Floyd), but it's also not among my favorites. "Echoes" is beautiful, the rest a bit less so. For me, the Floyd remain those of "The Piper At The Gates...", "The Dark Side...", "Wish You..." and "The Wall", or the live ones from "Ummagumma". The other Floyds engage me much less. However, the review is really nice.

Roberto Vecchioni Parabola

26 oct 06

Voto:

I've never particularly loved Vecchioni, but the only reason I know him is tied to childhood memories, when he sang the theme song of the Barbapapà, a cult animated series for at least a generation of thirty-somethings (myself included). When I think about it, I get emotional. I don't know this album, aside from a few songs here and there.

The Doors Absolutely Live

26 oct 06

Voto:

A live performance of almost majestic intensity. However, I would be cautious with comparisons: to say that it is the greatest live show in the history of rock is, in my opinion, an imprecise historical statement; it would be like failing to recognize the beauty, which is indeed infinite, of live performances such as that of Deep Purple (mentioned by the reviewer) or the legendary "Live At Leeds" by the Who. In fact, perhaps the latter is the greatest live show in the history of music. With this, of course, I do not wish to diminish the greatness of the Doors, and certainly not.

Oasis Don't Believe The Truth

26 oct 06

Voto:

Sure, it's fine to insist on Oasis; despite everything, they've made some great albums, see the excellent "What's The Story...," but it’s inconceivable to praise any of their work. This one, in particular, is truly bland, both musically and in its youth-like yet old and tired atmospheres, already heard at least a million times.
