my favorite is still the awful Lock Up The Wolves. I repeat and rephrase for the umpteenth time the usual question: but is RJ Dio pronounced Dio or is it pronounced DAIO?

bah... getting involved with someone fifteen years older and a minivan full of kids... a failed acting career... even the dogs didn’t want her anymore, and what does he do? killing her isn’t the real problem, for cantat... the problem, for cantat, was not being able, after a career as a rock vocalist, to find a better one...

The review is undoubtedly long but fluid, and not tiring at all (at least in my opinion). I simply describe what my ears hear and what my mind envisions when this music reaches them.

I would like to clarify a couple of things: 1) Asia is widely listened to, but not heavily reviewed. That's why I gave it a little nudge in my own way, by trying to express my thoughts on it; 2) even though Aqua is a good album (I also like Silent Nation from 2004), I believe that Asia's best work can't compare with the best works of '70s prog. Just take their best album and compare it to Fragile, or one of the many masterpieces of prog: the comparison doesn't hold; 3) I also call it "pomp-rock" (in reply to senmayan) and I specify its characteristics: an epic-progressive verse, an AOR chorus. Then, when I talk about Emperor Azkyxhmunmwyj and the deeds of his army, I think it's clear that the album is pompous like something regal and epic, as martial as something can be...

I love cats too, and I love all animals in general, but what can I do if Grace can only see them when they're dead?

I have a female Great Dane and she swallows cats alive.

In my opinion, the review is good even if you are the first to admit that you don't know what the real reason is for the fact that the album doesn't sound like the previous ones. Usually, the reviewer ventures their hypothesis.

while I agonize and wither away studying and dissecting a handful of artists, you sail confidently through styles, eras, and musical genres. admirable.

in my opinion, Finardi's best album. Beautiful melodies and evocative suggestions.

Oh really? And Lucignolo? Is Lucignolo there? And that cock-sucker Melita?
