And to think that I barely know Lou Reed as a solo artist. Of course, I have all four of the Velvet Underground albums. Great review!

I haven't read a book about Pink Floyd yet, but I don't think this is the best one to choose from (just a hunch). I would rather get the one written by Mason. In any case, good review (The Endless River for me is the concluding disc of their story. Perfect).

"The guy who broke into my house last night didn’t take away a doubt that I have within me; if I didn’t get along with the songs, maybe I was on his side and there was one more thief: the roads are right, even the wrong ones, as long as you’re never sure, never" (from "Cosa farò da grande"). My favorite Italian singer-songwriter and one of the greatest Italian singer-songwriters of all time. I have the album, but I always prefer to listen to the full albums and not the best-ofs: in any case, 5 for the songs. Good review, although more could have been done, and the track by track doesn’t help. Extra star because I believe it’s your debut.

I'm only on my second listen but I confirm the 5; I even prefer it to the first. The captivating melancholic tone, absorbed, contemplative, in some parts even dark and sinister. The Good, The Bad & The Queen reaffirm themselves as Albarn's project outside of Blur that I prefer. Among the best of 2018.

The first one is beautiful, and I'm sure (from what I've listened to so far) this one is beautiful too, so I'm giving it a 5 on trust for the album as well, and I’ll come back to it later.

I was convinced I would see you again with the review of the new The Good, The Bad & The Queen Grant! This new one from the Smashing Pumpkins doesn't really attract me much; the last Monuments to an Elegy had some good tracks (I particularly liked the single), but overall it didn’t go beyond mediocre. As I always say, the last one I really liked was Oceania.

I fundamentally think the opposite: I believe that Nevermind/In Utero and Unplugged are the most representative albums of Nirvana (Bleach, which many consider their best, remains for me an immature record from almost all perspectives and doesn’t even hint too much at the style Cobain would soon develop). Unplugged in particular represents them more than it may seem, showcasing a side of them that was somewhat sidelined in the studio albums (I’m thinking of songs like About a Girl, Polly, Something in the Way, Dumb, All Apologies) and that Cobain wanted to further develop in the next album after In Utero (he wanted to make an acoustic record). So I honestly wouldn’t know what score to give you, Sfascia. Ah, the DVD in question, despite owning it, is one of the very few things about Nirvana that I have never listened to (perhaps the only thing).

As far as I'm concerned, up until The Resistance, good/excellent works. Then came the horrendous The 2nd Law and the equally horrendous Drones, which really made me lose the desire to follow them. One of the bands that disappointed me the most.

I've listened to very few tribute bands, but I happened to come across one of Pink Floyd, and a version of "Dogs" really stuck with me; it was done very well. When they're good, it's definitely worth it.

Well, I must have said it many times, but personally, I don't see what the problem is with multi-reviews (when they are good like this one): for me, Debaser is also a place where people chat about well-known albums. The review at hand can spark further discussions, and that's always a good thing for a site like this. Also, because, as I've said a hundred times, people complain about yet another review of an artist, and in the meantime, it attracts comments from virtually the entire site. Then, in the Home section, there are reviews of artists that no one has reviewed and no one knows, and they end up leaving the home page with 2 comments if they're lucky, sometimes with 0 (there's one right now on home).
