I agree with the three stars, and I also recommend the second album (especially the spectacular ten minutes of the opening track... I don't remember the title). Without keyboards, Bank is (to use an English phrase) "all over the place," with style to spare and surprising solutions. He probably never had the nerve to stand out so much in Yes. Luckily, he didn't decide to hang up his guitar.
Robert Silverberg The Longest Way Home
Voto:
What a beautiful proposal (even though I got a bit lost in the analysis of the current state of sci-fi). Moreover, Silverberg is wonderful at analyzing the relationship between humans and aliens. "Mutazione" is one of my all-time favorite novels (not just in science fiction).

I give my all on the wave of emotions. Because yes: a kleenex is needed.
Baustelle L'amore e la violenza
Voto:
I only listened to the single and I wasn't too impressed. It's not bad, but it's a game of quotes taken too far and a bit too clever. In other words: it reworks (modernizing it just a bit) the base of "Follow me" by Lear, adds a new chorus, and to hide the collage, it titles the track with the name of the disco queen (which we'll need an explanation for how it relates to the lyrics), so that everything comes off as a clever reference. Do they think we were born yesterday?
King Crimson Roma alla Corte del Re Cremisi
Voto:
Beautiful! I repeat what I commented in another review: being at the live show (and not hearing it recorded) is a whole other story; often the classics sound more modern than the band's recent incarnations, Sailor's Tale caught me off guard and transported me elsewhere. Extraordinary live performance.
King Crimson Concerto dei King Crimson a Firenze (08/11/2016)

I also saw them in Milan. And I have to say: part of their historical repertoire sounds more human and modern than the improvisations and pieces from (to name a period) the times of "The construKction of light". I'm thinking in particular of "Sailor's Tale": it almost made me jump out of my chair.
Black Sabbath Mob Rules
Voto:
Even important figures (Zakk Wylde, for example) have wondered if the Sabs with R. J. Dio, however excellent, can be considered Sabs. The discussion makes sense for Heaven and Hell, but this album is dark, epic, and at times malevolent as the Sabbath must be, certainly interpreted in the light of the '80s. One of my favorite works of theirs.
Ingmar Ernst Bergman Fanny e Alexander

Putting children and their world at the center of such an intense and heartfelt narrative is something that very few manage to achieve, as they end up pouring their very souls into it, fearlessly laying bare their human sensitivity (I have a few examples in mind, like "Les quatre cents coups" by Truffaut, although it’s quite different from this masterpiece). That’s why, for the review, I would have preferred to hear more of your reactions and feelings in front of this film. Nevertheless, it’s a page that I read very, very willingly.
Bryan Singer X-Men - Giorni di un futuro passato
Voto:
I reiterate what I have already written elsewhere: a title like this is only acceptable as a tribute to the Moody Blues!
