Very very very nice review. Unfortunately, the album has never been listened to, YouTube come to me.
Dannii Minogue This Is It: The Very Best Of

But is this really the cover? No, because in 2013 it's indecent... to be honest, it's just generally indecent; among other things, it somewhat humiliates her since she is as beautiful if not more than her sister.

Functional review for a definitive box set. No, I won't buy it: I already have all the albums because I love Blur, and as for the b-sides and rarities, I'll have to make do; I hope someone uploads them on YouTube so I can listen to them.

This review doesn't say much, especially considering the work it addresses.
The Smiths Louder Than Bombs
Voto:
I discovered The Smiths only this year, an instant love, before I even realized it, Morrissey had already entered the ranks of those figures who not only defined my life but did so without my knowing, describing my life word for word with meticulous precision in emotional details. Albums of absolute masterpieces of pop in the truest sense of the word; if I had to pick a couple, I would say "Sheila Take a Bow" and "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" above all (but perhaps I'm biased by my personal experience).
Rumiko Takahashi Maison Ikkoku

Very good review, but as for the work, I can only give my vote to the comic because unfortunately, I have never seen the animated series, of which I have always heard only enthusiastic tones with the same arguments presented in this review: slice of life, delicacy, sentiment, music, graphics, colors, everything at the highest level. I hope to remedy that as soon as possible; in the meantime, I remember the comic with immense pleasure since it was my first manga, bought almost by chance in the late '90s and instantly loved.
Yoshifumi Kondo I Sospiri del Mio Cuore (Mimi wo sumaseba)

Welcome to DeBaser! Congratulations on choosing your first work to review: my sister absolutely adores this film, she considers it one of the best creations ever from Studio Ghibli, surpassing many Miyazakis and countless Takahatas. For me, it’s a bit challenging to review; the psychological position of the film is sharply focused on the protagonist… could this be why my sister venerates this movie while I simply like it? I found it easier to write here on DeBaser about "Ponyo on the Cliff," which has a lower target demographic and is therefore more universal. That being said, everything here is very touching and engaging, no doubt about that. Regarding the project of reviewing the works of Studio Ghibli: I’ve wanted to do this for a long time, and after leaving the theater having watched "Kiki's Delivery Service," I felt more motivated than ever, but then laziness took over (not really, I don’t physically have the time, but it sounds like a good excuse). I would definitely like to write about "Castle in the Sky," "Porco Rosso," and "Howl's Moving Castle," which are three gems for me; there’s already been some talk about "The Castle of Cagliostro" here on DeBaser, but it might be worth spending a few more words on it; for now, I leave this kind task to you! ;)
Daft Punk Random Access Memories
Voto:
Unfortunately, I agree. Daft Punk were great musicians, but this album is ugly, or at the very least, banal, starting with the frankly unacceptable cover. I acknowledge that "Giorgio by Moroder" is truly interesting, but the rest has only a few thrills here and there.
Kylie Minogue Skirt
Voto:
“['Skirt'] is a taste of Kylie’s new musical journey [...] with a more American sound, dance-r&b.” And is this supposed to be good news? The only mainstream pop singer who isn’t a sl*t entering the American club of sl*ts is something I should see as an achievement? If I love Kylie, it’s also because she has managed to stay “clean” in the entertainment world: she isn’t trashy, she isn’t vulgar, she doesn’t resort to provocation to get attention, she doesn’t shove it in your face. There’s an apparently ridiculous but actually revealing trait of Kylie’s “diversity”: she smiles, she always smiles; porn stars don’t.
That said, the song doesn’t blow me away; with a less gaudy arrangement, I would have definitely appreciated it more; nonetheless, as usual, I’ll buy Kylie’s music without hesitation, and that’s what I’ll do this time too.
