Logic Probe

Hi Hal... it's always a pleasure to read your reviews (there's so much to learn, really). I don't know this author, but from the way you talk about it, I believe this record will make its way onto my list of CDs to buy and listen to on repeat. As for your review... well... how could I not give you a 5? A hug :)

The second part of the album is the one that comes closest to my way of feeling... more introspective and intimate. However, the record didn’t really shake my soul. It’s a good album, but... more can be done... come on deasonika, get to work.

I’m often re-listening to the CD… and I can confirm that in the special edition, the second CD is truly unmissable… an opening like "Where the Streets Have No Name" by U2 (after all, they really remind me of U2). Not bad at all… bye!

Yes, a good transition album... one of those albums where the record label imposes a narrow path and the artist seeks to freely express their feelings. The atmospheres of Spirit are, partially, already sketched out... how can I put it... the genius has been tested in small doses. A really nice album.

For Grampasso: that they don't have the magic of the past is partly true... perhaps that was a derivative kind of magic (aka Pink Floyd). For me, the absolute masterpiece remains The Sky Moves Sideways... a great album. Today, the PT are shifting towards a more personal and, perhaps, more commercial choice. But this is done with class... immense class. From the 4th track of Deadwing, the album picks up themes already familiar to fans (placing long, interesting suites). In IA, there are stunning choral pieces (even if the rest of the album is a bit underwhelming)... the PT are wonderful when they lay down those hypnotic bass and drum loops... that's where they are spectacular in my opinion (listen to Russia on Ice... Dislocated Day... Slave Called Shiver and others...). Anyway, it seems to me that the band can still find innovative space... they know how to do it, they just need to apply themselves. :)

Hello Petro...happy to hear from you :). So, I wanted to respond to you about the issue of warmth...just consider that Wilson is not exactly a stage animal (and that's true)...but you have to take into account that he puts together a whole psychedelic show, almost hypnotic, where the sound takes center stage and honestly, it moves me that way. What disturbed me about Anathema (by the way, buy the album, it's not bad...even if it lacks a certain something) is a certain "douchey" attitude that you can feel...I don’t know, it’s just my impression. The PT, on the other hand, aim for a more settled attitude, meaning, close your eyes and let yourself be carried away by the sound and the images it produces. I've always felt them that way...at least that's what I think. Bye and until next time :).

just to further inflame the debate. The Wall, Final Cut, Animals, Pros and Cons, Amused, Radio Caos, are all expressions of the same idea... a single line that unfolds over the years (and I can also understand that over time it can become boring). This is a single package dissected into 6 albums... 6 albums with the same rules and expectations... 6 albums with the same idea... 6 identical messages... each a natural continuation of the previous one. All equally masterpieces... then if radio kaos is beat it matters little... music, in certain cases, turns out to be just a backdrop. However, I would also like to assert that certain orchestrations present in the aforementioned albums are pure wonder.

..."Monica Bellucci is a monster! Appreciate my courage too! I wouldn't even sleep with her for a million pounds! I have courage too!!"... this is the most brilliant statement I've read, I swear, and I agree. :)

Waters' hysterical voice is the only voice suitable for The Wall....if the album is an expression of discomfort, then the hysterical voice outlines and defines this condition. In simple terms, the choice is not based on the musicality of the voice (for that, Waters has always chosen excellent vocalists) but rather on its dramatic quality. This is the interpretation of the musical track; there are no embellishments where they are not needed. With this, I don't mean to convince the album's detractors to love Waters...far from it....this is just meant to be another point of reflection.

Awesome review!!! I can't say more....among my favorites. As for the album...well...I prefer De Andrè....I don't mind Morgan, but I wish he would go back to being Morgan. :)
