Nanni Moretti Tre piani
Voto:
Nanni seems saddened, gloomy, aged... I really don't know. The times of "Dear Diary" and "April" feel like they're from a very distant past.

I agree with @[Annette]'s assessment. It’s a well-sung and well-played album, featuring some interesting electronic touches and psychedelic interludes, in pure "madchester" style. However, aside from a few exceptions (ā€œOn and On,ā€ ā€œAccelerator,ā€ one of the better tracks), the songs are very similar and flow by without particularly standing out. I’ll add that the ā€œmillennialā€ touch you mention didn’t come through for me, and in fact, they seem overly influenced by the bands of that era (Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, and the like). It’s hard to judge after just one listen, but if I had to give a clinical assessment, I'd say 7/10 (three and a half stars). That’s all 😃

Here we are faced with a blatant #capishapproved. Let's just say I've had some difficulty keeping up with your flights of fancy. 5 for the incredible rescue.

Absolute masterpiece.
In the Silence A Fair Dream Gone Mad

A 5 is deserved. Unknown band, I’ve more or less caught the references (Dredg, Katatonia, Alice in Chains). Let’s say that if I'm in the mood for some metal, I’ll give it a listen. Well done.
Roberto Benigni Tu mi turbi
Voto:
I didn't see him. Anyway, it's incredible to note how Benigni, starting from "La vita è bella," has initiated a dramatic bourgeoisification, culminating in the tedious readings of the Ten Commandments, the Bible, and the Constitution. We want "Daunbailò" and "Johnny Stecchino" back.

What are you doing, you’re harassing the young singers? Frightening punctuation, sharp review.

"Since when does sound dysphasia (it's usually called free jazz, albeit improperly) feel intimate, familiar? And yet, it is just so."
And you have captured the essence of the album. Well done.

Had I reviewed this album? Mboh...

I know the precedents, but not this one. Maybe I'll look into it more, Mr. President.
