Only slightly inferior to Moving Pictures (which I adore). Even after all these years, it's still very relevant. A powerhouse!!

Disappointing. I have no words.

Snowy White & The White Flames Pure Gold - The Solo Years 1984-1998

I noticed him when I bought Wet Dream by the late Wright, as he was credited as the guitarist. To be honest, I often saw him (but didn't know his identity) in photos of Pink Floyd during their live performances, so I wasn't perfectly updated. Anyway, there are two possibilities, in my opinion: 1) either he was imposed by Waters on the rest of the band as a second guitarist for live shows; 2) they all agreed that he was a valuable support. I lean towards the second hypothesis. Then we could talk about his talent regarding compositions, particularly concerning his solo career. But I don’t want to say much more, because apart from Byrds of Paradise, I can’t remember anything else.

But why does Rabin lash out at the Asia? I vaguely remember the live documents from that period when Anderson was throwing photon sticks. Squire, always powerful, and Rabin good but cool. The Yes (if we want to call them that) from those years didn’t really excite me much. The absence of Howe, in fact, is fundamental.

Pink Floyd The Final Cut

Gloomy, sad album. Maybe it’s because I used to listen to it in the powder keg when I was in the military, but I consider it a good record by Waters, nothing more. In fact, over time it has tired me out (but you know, I prefer the sound of Meddle and Atom Heart Mother, besides Syd). I haven't listened to it in a while, but when I feel like it, I use headphones to better appreciate the excellent dynamics of the recording. And then Waters kicked Wright out, and I have never forgiven him for that!

Very good. Unfortunately, I don't know the album. I'll take care of that now...

Beautiful. Period.

Steven Spielberg Indiana Jones e il Regno del Teschio di Cristallo

There's definitely a more engaging plot to be built around the legends and nonsense surrounding crystal skulls. So, as you might have guessed, Spielberg pissed me off for the umpteenth time. With legends and esotericism at his disposal, he could have crafted a more decent and entertaining Indy. The rediscovered son (comical in his uselessness and acting) and the pseudo-Russian villain of the moment are real gems (in a negative way, of course)! If Spielberg is on the verge of retirement, they could have told us right away, so I could have saved the money for the ticket. Harrison Ford, though pathetic, made his presence felt. At least he did.

Charming and talented, this quirky singer. A few years ago, she released an unplugged album that an Italian music magazine - I won't name names but it usually reviews niche bands - declared "fabulous." Perhaps, after your wonderful review, I should consider it. After all, she was quite entertaining. She has definitely never been a jerk like many of her colleagues.
