Bruce Springsteen Devil & Dust

29 dec 06

Voto:

It's certainly not the best album from the Boss; Springsteen may not appeal to everyone, but to simply view him as a stereotype seems absurd to me... Nebraska is one of the pivotal albums in the history of music.

Robbie Williams Lovelight

29 dec 06

Voto:

Could you be that snobbish? It's a lovely review, there's a lot of irony I would call it "pop-wave," I had a great time, even if I prefer Murolo to Robbie Williams (I said it ugh).

Europe Secret Society

Voto:

For me, they have always been a money-making machine, but "prisoners in paradise" wasn't too bad, a refined hard rock à la House of Lords.

Ozzy Osbourne Live at Budokan

1 dec 06

Voto:

But how many live albums has Ozzy released? I don't know, I've always had the impression that live records are much better than studio albums.

Damien Rice 9

1 dec 06

Voto:

He should avoid becoming the James Taylor of the 2000s because everyone is doing it... guys, this man has a huge talent, and he fully demonstrates it with tracks like "elephant" (Leonard Cohen singing with Nick Drake) and "me, my yoke + i" (?), sooner or later he will surely arrive at his masterpiece.
But since we are talking about Damien Rice, someone who debuted with an absolutely delightful album like "0", I expect much, much more. A decent album but nothing more, eagerly (this is indeed anxious) awaiting his next (hopefully) masterpiece.

Lost Prophets The Fake Sound Of Progress

Voto:

One of those bands that I frankly don’t feel the need for; maybe if I were 16 I might like them... anyway, thanks to some publications, I bought this CD and wasted my money... nice, innocuous, it sounds like a big MTV band... if I really have to listen to nu metal, I want the Tool or something similar back.

Primal Scream Riot City Blues

28 nov 06

Voto:

Sorry, I read little of your review, but one thing I'm sure of: from people like Primal Scream, it's fair to expect much more. A nice record, at times they sound like the Raconteurs, but the same old clichéd ideas... anyway, I think it's now impossible to listen to an album like Screamadelica again.

Thom Yorke The Eraser

28 nov 06

Voto:

Let’s not overpraise everything related to Radiohead... the album is very good, synthetic pop that at times reminded me of Notwist, but it doesn’t add anything new. The production, however, is superb.

Charles Mingus The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

28 nov 06

Voto:

Perhaps the review should explain that it is not a "simple" jazz album but is infused with other genres; you can hear the influence of classical music, Debussy, Stravinsky, etc. In any case, it is one of the greatest works of the 20th century, an album for which calling it a "masterpiece" seems even reductive. It literally leaves you speechless...

Kansas Point Of Know Return

Voto:

The grandiloquent pomp-rock makes me nauseous, and as for Livgren's violin, I won't say where I'd stick it... however, I bought this album because I quite like "dust in the wind"... as for the rest, I'm trying to keep my distance; I already struggle to digest Yes.
