Patty Pravo Tanto

9 may 12

Voto:

The central part with the titles arranged to build the sentences, I'm not sure if it's wonderful or cheesy. Maybe a mix of both, but I'm leaning a little towards the latter hypothesis. A review is nonetheless necessary: Patty Pravo today will be whatever you want (I still like her, despite the ample reasons to criticize her), but she has produced some truly good stuff. Anyway, the song is called "Dove andranno i nostri fiori," not "sogni."

Sophie Ellis-Bextor Shoot From the Hip

Review that I absolutely agree with from the first to the last word. Here, Sophie Ellis-Bextor (whom I love and will love forever) doesn’t particularly shine, but it’s still very enjoyable.

Britney Spears Blackout

Ok, the first review I was lenient because it was the first; here the level is somewhere between fanboy excitement and pure musical ignorance. We're still in the realm of good faith, and I'm not speaking out of malice, but giving this album 5 stars highlights serious flaws. So, let’s scale it back: this album, with one of the ugliest covers in the world in terms of photos, styling, graphics, colors, font, layout, is barely listenable once with its deluge of bipolarism between pompous trashiness and sterile sentimentality. Just imagine trying to listen to individual tracks multiple times to express a constructive judgment. The extracted music videos make the situation worse, turning everything not just ugly, but also ridiculous, which is even worse. Britney has been a decent pop singer on many occasions, sometimes good, and on a few occasions truly excellent. Not here.

Welcome to DeBaser! This first review of yours is, let's say, improvable: maybe it's still a bit raw, or perhaps it's the subject, I don't know.

Madonna MDNA

Hello, welcome to DeBaser! The first review is a bit naïve, but there will be other opportunities. This album is frankly not one of Madonna's best, and this is the second one in a row that I feel this way: I'm starting to worry that she might really be on the decline. I confess that I might be the only one in the world, but I like "Gimme All Your Luvin'."

Dolcenera Evoluzione della specie

I don't rate the album because I haven't listened to it yet, but I've always liked her since the beginning of her career, and I'm more than sure she's a talented musician; among other things, she wrote one of the simplest yet most successful lines in recent Italian music, which is "sì lo so che si vede che ho pianto / ma non si vede quanto." I will definitely listen to it. Four stars for the review because I really appreciated its structuralist approach.

All Saints Pure Shores: The Very Best Of All Saints

A good review for the most artistically valid girl group of the '90s. I remember perfectly that in 1998 I bought "Never Ever", fell in love with them, and also bought all their subsequent singles, among which, in my opinion, the beautiful "Bootie Call" and "War of Nerves" stand out, which definitely elevate them to a musical rank that is, without a doubt, superior to that of their peers. It’s a shame about their commercial failure, but I’m happy they’ve managed to stick around long enough to give us several gems.

Really, really good film, at times I would say impressive.

Don Rosa The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck

Excellent review (the 5 is for the shared ideas) for a foundational work in the history of comics and of great value even for literature in general. I proudly claim to be a Disney fan since childhood; I learned to read on "Topolino" and have never renounced my faith even in the face of the saddest outcomes from Walt's house (shall we talk about "Dinosauri"? No thanks). I must have read this biography of Scrooge at least twenty times, if not more, and I have always liked it and continue to like it: I believe there are few other cases in the world of pop culture worthy of being compared to this absolute masterpiece of drawn literature.
