Listened to it again this morning... Boring, and it sounds like it was recorded in the whale's ass from Pinocchio.

I know who Prince is! He's that little guy of color (but not too much) who, between the late '80s and early '90s, produced videos overflowing with babes, all strictly around five feet tall to avoid making the boss look bad. Roger Nelson, then Prince, then Symbol (which looked like the one from Cocoricò), then The Artist Formerly Known As Prince, and then back to Prince again; the little guy has always been a bit unsure about his identity, and so have we about the actual quality of his numerous products, which have indeed been variable.
What’s certain is that, from time to time, our man has produced more than worthy things, but they are scattered songs rather than whole albums; I don't really know the record in question, but I remember that at the time of the release of the first BATMAN, the soundtrack, created by the "sprite from Minneapolis" (or was it "the minstrel from Duluth"? or "the flying Irishman"? or "the white duke"?) was the cassette I listened to the most, with "Batdance" playing on repeat... I also didn't mind "Lovesexy."

Eeee no, gustavino... The funniest name belongs to Anal Thunder.

RAIN! that's better.

Italian, besides being able to write it (but here the teachers are already in the field), you also need to be able to read it... Nicola Piovani, xdio!

I, who have listened to the album, agree with comment number 4. There are people (and in my opinion, a good number of critics among them) who have waited for over 30 years for the release of this, imagining it as THE masterpiece it turned out not to be; can you imagine how they would have felt if they had to critique the long-awaited work or, worse still, call it a piece of crap? It would have been like wasting and throwing away half or more of their life.
Much more comfortable and safe to prepare for the announced masterpiece, trying to weave the most extravagant praises possible, spinning hyperboles to no end, since everyone would have agreed.
I, while recognizing Brian Wilson’s remarkable abilities and undisputed artistic merits, believe that, forty years ago as today, there is better stuff out there than this album.

DADUZZA, I don’t believe that the quality of an album or a concert should be proportional to its duration. Personally, I’d choose "Accelerate" ten times over, as its conciseness and immediacy make it enjoyable even when played twice in a row, compared to the bricks that are "New Adventures...", "Up", and "Around the Sun" (partially "Reveal") which, by the halfway mark, provoked more than one yawn. If we want to talk about math, then I agree that 45 euros or more is a lot for a 90-minute concert, but you'll agree with me that we’re not talking about a bunch of bananas, and that emotions aren’t sold by the kilo: if Springsteen manages to give them to you in 3 hours, the R.E.M. squeeze everything out of you in 90 minutes; they are two different worlds, but in both cases, you’ll want to come back next time.

@EMANUELE: I happened to hear Carcass when I was about 15, coming from listens like Europe, De Gregori, and Zucchero... You must agree with me that it was quite a shock! Or not? As I’ve grown older and refined my tastes, I’ve managed to give the right value and weight to certain listens, but above all, I’ve been able to appreciate the musical evolution of the gentlemen reviewed here; I too prefer "Heartwork" to the stench of putrefaction, which I still consider an almost mandatory passage for anyone who listens to (or has listened to) metal.

DAVID81, I can already hear the sound of your nails scratching a mirrored wall... Sure, you talk nonsense, huh. For everyone else: STOP MAKING SENSE!!!
