I don't read it because it's too long, but it's truly a fantastic album.

But why do you only do double reviews? There were 9 "releases" by Primus missing to review, and you managed to review one of the two already existing albums. Then giving it 3 and placing it in "alternative" (aren't they among the leaders of 90s crossover?) I don’t understand, just like I don’t understand how you first compare it to Roger Waters and then say that the value of the instrumentals is practically nil.

I would need to see it at least ten times to review it; it’s a terrifying river of notes, with each piece featuring a different "protagonist" – really hard to review without simply saying "a river of notes." And have you heard about the guy who works at the archive of some American TV who, while rummaging through the 50s, stumbled upon a live performance from ’58 by Thelonius Monk & John Coltrane? Now they're going to release that on DVD too; lately, they're really publishing tons of stuff that had never even come out on VHS. Just last Monday, they showed me a glimpse of a live performance in Frankfurt by Holland with some of his friends, another thing that just a few years ago you'd dream of finding in a record store. As for Cool and other more "relax" genres of jazz, I couldn't say much since I hardly follow it, but for Fusion & experimental, they’re really digging up gems from everywhere. And yet we always complain, right? ;)

On Monday, I watched a DVD from a few years ago (I think 2001), featuring the quartet: Hancock (grand piano), Holland (double bass / various Fender basses), Metheny (changing guitar for each piece), Dejohnette (of course on drums): they performed a Miles piece masterfully, and the rest was all either Hancock's or Dejohnette's... I didn't know where else to mention it, and this is more or less the right place: buy it.

It needs quite a bit of the right moment, but when it finds it, it performs well.

Then, about "for me" & "in my opinion": since we were talking about seminal works, since we were discussing who did certain things first and not who "is better," the "in my opinion" arguments don't mean a thing, because release dates are certain facts and not tastes: there’s no "in my opinion" that holds up, Bruss is not seminal, as skilled as you may think he is, but not seminal. And hey, if you throw out nonsense as bait, then it doesn't matter, right?

I don't get you guys. First, one attacks those who copy and spouts the nonsense that Born To Run is seminal, then he claims he said it on purpose to make a point (which, honestly, who knows what that even means). I defended those who "copy" because it's normal in music, and then another one expresses solidarity with those who attack copycats, but then says that copying is normal, thus agreeing with me... and then from a simple discussion about the seminal nature of an album, it escalates to a galactic reasoning about the entire history of music, claiming that someone undermines Born To Run while we were only talking about its seminal quality. Do you even read the comments? Because I'm starting to have some doubts. And you, Massimof, trust me, you’re missing a lot when it comes to the legends of the 60s and 70s, it shows in what you write: listen to some stuff from those bands I mentioned before, and if you want, there are plenty more, all of which came before your Bruss.

One of the best with Luca Sardella on vocals, but still not comparable to the works that came before Back In Black. The Stiff Upper Lip DVD was pretty crap to me (considering we are still talking about gods), not even remotely comparable to "If You Want Blood, You Got It."
