I had doubts. You probably took them all away from me. Thank you.

ZannaB, I agree with everything you said, including about Hail To The Thief. I was just giving an example, but your point about the blues is definitely more relevant.

Raimi has disappointed me this time. Sigh...

So according to you, for example, "Hail To The Thief" by Radiohead is a crappy album because it's less INNOVATIVE compared to the others. I repeat: you need to stop this idea that GOOD MUSIC=INNOVATIVE - CRAPPY MUSIC=NOT INNOVATIVE. Beautiful records can also be made without being innovative, and the history of music has shown this more than once.

Galakordi, instead of attacking those who are expressing their opinions, you should revisit the Italian dictionary, because it seems to me that INNOVAZIONE is not a synonym for QUALITA'.

No, Under, two of them were written by Vasco and they are embarrassing ("Prima Di Partire..." and "La Tua Ragazza Sempre", if I'm not mistaken. "Non resisto" instead is a great song, but I believe she even wrote it (there's also a beautiful version in English). Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

No, Alessio, that evening I was also half-broken because a pallet had fallen on me at work, so I watched it comfortably from a little bench with excellent acoustics. I repeat; it’s clear that there were some technical inaccuracies, but for me, they played really well that night. Then I’ll go see them again on June 28 at Villa Solaria (Sesto Fiorentino - Florence); if they suck, I’m ready to take the blame and give you credit. Bye. :)

So let me tell you how I see it. 1- I'm not a whiny brat, but I went to see them a month ago, and live (whether they can play or not) they really deliver. 2- I don't claim they're grunge; in fact, I don't think they can be categorized at all, but they have some good tracks. 3- I don't understand what's "reheated soup" about the latest albums from the bands you mentioned, or is it always the same story that if someone sells more than 100,000 copies, they're a sellout? 4- The bassist isn't a phenomenon, but at least at the show I saw in Florence, she didn't miss a note. And I've had a band for 5 years; if she had played poorly, I would have noticed. Well, she must have been having a good night... 5- But frankly, who cares if they didn't bring this damned BREEZE OF FRESH AIR? Why do you always look for this BREEZE OF FRESH AIR? It's pointless then to listen to and/or criticize Verdena. They are not fresh; they make deliberately derivative music, they've openly stated it, and they enjoy the music they create. Aside from everything, a wonderfully written review, even if I agree with few of the contents. Bye bye.

She has a beautiful voice, but she has sold herself short like many have done in Italy by now. However, Bianconi's piece is stunning. After all, Baustelle is a fantastic band.

I heard "Sick, Sick, Sick" (bad) and "3's and 7's" (great). I don't know what to think...
