Gabriel Garcìa Màrquez Cent'Anni Di Solitudine
Voto:
Never liked it. I studied Hispanic American literature and I prefer other authors: Sábato, Levrero, Bioy Casares, Arlt, Onetti. "One Hundred Years..." is too full of stereotypes and has the "fault" of overshadowing everything different from magical realism. I don’t vote because it’s too far from my tastes and finishing it was a real ordeal. Nice review.
Greta Van Fleet The Battle at Garden's Gate
Voto:
They seem like an embarrassing clone of Led Zeppelin. Does the singer use falsetto because of the super-tight jumpsuit? An agonizing doubt awaits an answer.
Roman Polanski The Fearless Vampire Killers
Voto:
Here, unfortunately, I have to step out of line a bit. I didn't appreciate the ironic and parodic vein, which doesn't seem to suit Polanski very well, a director who, in my opinion, excels when he creates masterpieces of Extreme Evil like "Repulsion," "Rosemary's Baby," and "The Tenant." Perhaps it's because he's a rather unsettling character, but I see him more at ease in similar atmospheres. Here, he didn't convince me; what a shame.
The Chemical Brothers Born in the echoes

In my opinion, what you say is true for the first part of the album, even if "I'll See You There" winks a bit too much at various "Setting Sun" and the like. From "Reflexion" onwards, I perceive a drop, and some tracks conform too closely to the trends of the moment ("Radiate" sounds like a Moderat piece). In summary, it's a work that, although interesting, marks a step back compared to "Further". I wouldn't go beyond 3 stars.

Beautiful. I don't know why, it made me think of "La Jetée" by Chris Marker. Or of the Orbital.

Marco Castello Contenta tu

Nice note. Just two doubts/clarifications (I'm a bit of a pain, forgive me):
1) "Una donna per amico" isn't from the Seventies? The Battisti of the Eighties is the one from "Don Giovanni," when he was collaborating with Panella.
2) Erlend Øye has been living in Siracusa (Ortigia) for about five to six years; I believe he moved there with his mother. By the way, he plays in a band called La Comitiva, which you might also like.
Among the new singer-songwriters, I'm not averse to Fulminacci. It's a pity about the Sanremo song, which wasn't that great.

The review is evocative, even though I didn't understand what music it was about (I had to read the Genres below). A nice mention, nonetheless.
The Chemical Brothers Further
Voto:
A surprising album. I agree with the assessment.
William Golding Il Signore delle Mosche
Voto:
Recently read, I found it outdated and a bit boring. Unfortunately, I didn't like it.

Dude, don’t spoil the whole plot, otherwise, what the hell am I supposed to watch? 😃 Anyway, the movie seems interesting. I’ll look for it.
