Well, I thank everyone for the votes, probably this time not affected by the usual prejudices.

Yes, hemophiliac, you're right, but you have to admit that this time the review is well written (which doesn't always happen here) and there's a lot of feeling in it, another rather rare thing. The fact that they give five stars just because the first one did is true, but it's only because people don't know how to think for themselves.

yeeeah, alright, the review is well written, but the track by track is as usual super tedious and doesn’t really add much more compared to the other one. I mean, it can be done better. As for the album, I haven’t listened to it. Let’s wait for hardrock92’s comment.

Fabrizio De André Non Al Denaro, Non All'Amore Nè Al Cielo

Cohen, like Brassens (not coincidentally, the two models for De André), were singer-songwriters who prioritized words over music. But Brassens is French, a country not exactly famous for its music stars (and don’t go finding me the usual exceptions). In my opinion, by the time of De André in Italy (not in Europe or the USA), his melodies were already outdated, and I gave you the example of Battisti. With this, I don't want to take away ANYTHING from the greatest singer-songwriter Italy has ever had, just expressing my point of view.

What did you tell me? You listed a series of great musicians who participated in that album. So what? You certainly don't have to be a great instrumentalist to compose original and timeless melodies (think Beatles). Simply put, for De André, the words came before the music.

I don't think it's De André's best work (certainly the narrative idea is brilliant), although it remains a masterpiece. In my opinion, the early ones are always too affected by the lack of adequate music. Let's remember that during the same years, there was also a certain Lucio Battisti, creator of simply wonderful melodies (just think of "Anima Latina," although it was released a bit later, in 1974). I believe that if an album had been created with De André's lyrics and Battisti's music, it might have resulted in the greatest work of Italian music. But history isn't made with ifs and buts.

A work that most reflects De André's political ideas (really?), perhaps one of the best lyrically (Anime salve can contest that title), and musically it is heavily influenced by the era.
