very nice review. you talked about something I really hoped someone would mention! 'listen a bit': but is this the best album? what else do you recommend?

my favorite is Japan, delicious and out of this world. great review, you seemed to have definitely improved compared to the last times I read you: well done! regarding the album, I don’t fully agree, I think it doesn't deserve more than a 3. however, for my taste, this is, for now, the peak of the two sisters: the previous albums either made me cringe or put me to sleep (in fact, this is the only one I haven’t discarded after listening, on the contrary...).

I don't want to dwell on political issues (I'm leftist but not of this kind, and when I vote I regularly regret having done so), but for me, voting for Berlusconi is an insult to intelligence. One can be a damn fascist, and that’s that; he may be a morally despicable person (at least from my point of view), but at least he has his damn values. Voting for Berlusconi means pretending not to understand: to understand that he is a damn legitimized bandit (by whom? By his damn televisions that brainwash people), and that with him, in a few years, we will end up like Argentina (and it’s not a terrible prediction, it’s simply a hope).

Yes, even if you're exaggerating a bit.

@Il_Paolo: look, just shut up, you’ll look better that way. Go back to reading TvSorrisiECazzoni, DiveEDonna, and all your national-popular crap that gradually anesthetizes you, and stop filling this site with garbage.

what a stupid review. what an unnecessary critique. damn, buy a book, look online if you want to delve deeper... you might actually be right, but you haven’t made a single reference to the film itself. how can I (who, by the way, really appreciated Sorrentino's previous films) trust you? as for the rest, I agree with Supersovrano and many others regarding your despicable quote of Vitali and his awful crew. Kosmo Kosmo what are you even saying?! and why? @Il_Paolo: from your reviews, it was pretty easy to deduce that you're one of us who gets screwed by these people, but unlike me and many others, you’re actually happy to be screwed.

Look, I’m totally calm. Basically, we don’t understand each other. You say that I disdain the fathers of Italian music, and that's not true. I just say that at a certain age, they should have the decency to retire. If the new generations don't resonate with you, I really don’t know what to tell you. I see myself in them, and amen: chronological issues and tastes, nothing more. However, I advise you to think for a moment about the market discussion I delved into a bit earlier; otherwise, your reasoning will always come off as biased. Azzo congratulates you on your grace, and I do too. I hope I’ve matched your level because it's always nice to discuss even passionately, but without becoming vulgar or anything. Bye. Until next time.

Moreover, it is very foolish (not to mention biased) to continue making comparisons in terms of sales, visibility, and media attention; otherwise, we should compare De Gregori with Tiziano Ferro et similia. The market has changed, the nation itself has changed: the criteria for evaluation are no longer the same. Think of the big Italian rock bands of the '90s, especially Marlene Kuntz and Afterhours: they never made it to the charts, yet they were extremely important for those who listened to them or followed in their footsteps. So either change the way you evaluate things and the very premises of your argument, or it’s useless to discuss.

@Primi: Tom Traubert has made a name for you, and we've repeated another one for a long time, so just take a look (I simply didn’t want to repeat myself. And even if your "ancient world has made the history of music and songwriting" doesn’t matter, because here we’ve never talked about history and above all because the past is the past: when an artist runs out of ideas, they must pack it up and not continue just because they know they have a huge debt with many people (thanks to a modern medium like television). The same people who speak poorly of the present and don’t really know what they’re talking about (you, and you admitted it).
