This is hardcore their peak, without taking anything away from Different Class (or His 'n' Hers as well, which is never mentioned). As for the review, I don't know if I'm drunk or if you were drunk when you wrote it, I'll wait to sober up and then I'll tell you.
Vasco Rossi Siamo solo noi
Voto:
As far as I'm concerned, up until the late 90s, he produced pieces of Italian music history that still endure. Then it became somewhat less significant. The rest, both those who think he is the best in music and those who despise him out of sheer snobbery, are just a waste of time.
pyrex The Dark Album
Voto:
It wasn't enough, no. We needed Trap. The first time I heard it, I thought they were referring to Trapattoni.
Andrés Muschietti It
Voto:
I finally saw the movie: taken as is, without thinking about King's masterpiece, it’s not too bad; but if you really think about it, well, things change quite a bit, because there are literally no comparisons. It's worth mentioning that to make a complete assessment, you should see the second one, but for now, it's a tiny, tiny 3, because a 2 would really be unfair. Read the book first, because it would truly be a shame to watch the movie beforehand: it’s generally the case, but with a book of that complexity and narrative depth, it’s even more so.
Bob Marley & The Wailers One Love: The Very Best of Bob Marley & The Wailers
Voto:
It makes me a bit angry that, in reggae, a rather useless second best of by Marley gets reviewed, while there are barely a couple for Lee Perry.
Bugo Dal lofai al cisei
Voto:
Well, I had bought it back when it came out, everyone was talking very positively about it and compared it to Beck: it was a bit of a disappointment (I still remember the heart in my ass, the ashtray, and the housewife though) and after a while, I sold it and after that never followed it again. A few days ago, I heard people talking about the 'Bugo case' and people saying 'eh Bugo, you see, but where did he come from? Is this a novelty?' Stuff that's been around for twenty years, if not more, the usual Italian Sanremo ignorance, a nasty thing, truly nasty.
Pink Floyd Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd
Voto:
I essentially agree with @[IlConte]; when best ofs are done well, they are done well (and let’s differentiate them from greatest hits, which are theoretically a different thing). A best of on Pink Floyd was indeed an undertaking of unique difficulty: they either had to release a quadruple album, or this double album, which in my opinion is quite complete. It doesn’t feature the tracks that everyone thinks are terrible (that's fair), and I think it was a great idea to conceive them as 2 sides like The Wall, Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, or others (without any pause between tracks, in line with their usual approach). A 5 overall for the songs is the best that could be done for a best dedicated to them.
The Who The Who live at the Fillmore East 1968
Voto:
So, Live at Leeds is one of my all-time favorite live albums (maybe my all-time favorite) and, as far as I'm concerned, it's the peak of The Who (I managed to get the 'deluxe' double edition, perhaps the only instance of a deluxe that should have been released as the standard edition, since it's the only version with the complete concert, with all of Tommy on the second disc, which is an experience elevated by the pompousness that emerged in the studio here). I didn't know this had come out, but The Who live, as @[IlConte] says, 5 trust me.

Here's a record that I've been listening to a lot these days; it's actually Think Tank by Blur (which is, by far, the Blur album I've listened to the least), and I'm somehow rediscovering it. The other interesting reference for me is Beck, let's see, maybe I'll give it a listen.

Masterpiece for me of devastating intensity. Beautiful.
