Interesting proposal, undoubtedly. Valuable review.

Written as you usually do, but maybe a bit more subdued this time; perhaps you should have trimmed it by just a couple of passages, which aren't even that substantial. This is my impression. The album is at 3.5.

I only know a few pieces from the soundtracks of Holmes, I haven't delved into it. The review is good and essential.

Honestly, I didn't like the review either; it would be interesting to conduct an analysis and comparison on the Harry Potter phenomenon (taking advantage of the comments).

Well done, where did you catch these? You surprised me this time.

Great suggestion, it's an album I discovered recently and I think it's fantastic.

The review is interesting, and I would like to contradict you on two statements. "I hope the Neapolitan supporters won’t hold it against me (...and part Neapolitans ;) ), but I don’t think it’s fair to limit everything beautiful that’s scattered across the (once?) Bel Paese to just one type of folk song." This limitation, if there ever was one, no longer holds value nowadays, especially since many people sing in their dialects and perform songs from their regions (I’m thinking, for example, of Davide Van De Sfroos, who is not exactly a Neapolitan). The second point is at the end: "The album is almost useless for those who cannot fully grasp the meaning, but on the other hand, even Neapolitan songs have the same flaw, yet that doesn’t mean they should remain unheard." Here too, while you’re stating a principle of truth, you've oversimplified quite a bit. After all, Neapolitan is a very recognized and mainstream dialect, so generally, people understand it even if they may not know certain specific regional terms. This discussion only concerns very few dialects, aside from Neapolitan. Dialects like Emiliano or Piemontese are much less known. The principle of truth I mentioned earlier related to the fact that certain songs, despite being in dialect, deserve to be listened to.

I was just listening to Karate yesterday. Great choice, the album isn't bad.

Welcome to Debaser. I'm not familiar with the band, but the proposal doesn't quite appeal to me. The review is long (thanks to the much-despised, in my opinion, track-by-track format) and it completely lacks a conclusion.

Oh right. I'll fix it right away.
