Shall we talk about the English? Off the top of my head, I’d say the most freakish are Elias Hulk (already reviewed), the most psychedelic blues are Out of Darkness (an extraordinary gem of an album from 1970, you’ll thank me to tears), and the most gnurant-fuzzy are Wicked Lady (with wah-wah guitar cranked up). Hoping I haven't been too didactic ;-)

if it were written in decent Italian, the review wouldn't make sense...great introduction "the Calabrese are a trio of brothers (whose last name is really Calabrese, not like, for example, the Ramones) ahahah. Also fantastic is the postscript, very naif, well done busterchiton!

@defender if you read the review carefully, my comments say exactly the opposite, I'm not exactly starblazer (only tenth in the ranking of human cases) who thinks Ozzy's Black Sabbath are inferior to Wolfsbane's Blaze Bailey ;-)))) Regards back

Defender, you can vote without any fear of ruining my average; I graduated a long time ago and with the highest marks ;-). Fortunately, we are not in school here, but if I were your teacher, I would question you about the meaning of the word "didascalico." I think you haven't quite grasped it, ahahahaha.

if they have collaborated with Mark Stewart then it might be right up my alley...

@supervai are you kidding? The Debaserian people must know about the existence of obscure gems like "I Really Do," "Quabala," "Love's Desire," "Oh Mariya," "Za za za Zilda"!!! Maybe they'll reconsider and once in the store, they'll no longer buy the greatest hits album of Heater Parisi but the Zior :-))))

....I had forgotten to vote... it would be 3.5, but I find tracks like "Starborne" too boring.

but not exactly Sabbathized Zeppelin, they're very diverse so you can't say they're a standardized synthesis. Some tracks sound like Zeppelin, others like a kind of hard Traffic, or even the Doors, or the more bluesy Blue Cheer; in short, a very varied album that I think will appeal regardless of a Sabbath taste. The essence of the review is just this: they might have wanted to be Sabbath but they had such a blues background that they're only Sabbath in intention.

Giona, forgive me, but I find them tremendously overrated; I would never give them a 5. The guitarist and the horns are excellent and varied, but despite their eclecticism, they lack personality. You can even find influences from Yes and Genesis in there, and pieces like "Upon the Rainbow" have an AOR flavor. For me, American prog reaches its peaks with Yezda Urfa’s "Boris" (what a masterpiece from 1975!) and with Echolyn.

Thanks to the usual suspects for the appreciation (which is mutual…) @ Supervai, the blame is entirely on lewistollani and his review of Dr.Z :-). Anyway, for me this is the best of the Zior even though most reviews out there are for the first self-titled album which, by the way, contains a couple of dancefloor hits (!) like "I Really Do" and "Za Za Za Zilda". I also recommend the third one released under the name of Monument the First, which is more expansive and progressive being led by the keyboards… there are a couple of excellent instrumentals that are truly prog.
