Really well done, great analysis... I don't know if I agree with it, but you explain your point of view very well.
I confess: I’ve listened to the album and despite it surprising me (it's very melodic and "easy to listen to"), I think I can say that apart from the recording conditions, the album is nothing special, quite simplistic in its construction.
As for the issue of the relationship between artist and work, in my opinion, the answer is far more obvious than it seems: if we have to sit here judging the moral qualities of many people working in entertainment, we're in for a long wait, and I don't think we need to mention Bill Crosby or Woody Allen or Roman Polansky, etc...

I've never delved into them, so I refrain from expressing myself, but you write well, nothing to say.

What I appreciate about Vasco is that he has always given space to instruments, unlike many other singer-songwriters whose arrangements are overshadowed by the vocals. There are many of his songs that I enjoy, but I understand that he attracts the hatred of many, given the absurd fanaticism he provokes, and a certain penchant for easy rhetoric.
As for the rest: I honestly don't understand the attacks on the reviewer; they seem a bit gratuitous, perhaps he didn't come across as particularly humble, but from there to engage in bullying or wish him suicide (especially at the hands of that repulsive individual from lobotomies) is a stretch. Here, the worst nonsense passes, and everyone is silent or very diplomatic because otherwise the beloved user gets offended, and they attack someone who, in the end, doesn't seem to have written any outrageous nonsense. Go figure…

No offense, even the walls know Buckethead, especially around here...

It's a shame that nobody cares about Blind Melon... The review is clear and you say what’s necessary. However, allow me to make a note: much more could have been said, especially about Shannon.

The review is perfect and says everything there is to say, except for what nes says.
Here, Love and her daughter come across as two exploiters. Which is probably true. But:
Who married Love?
Who made her a mother?
Would anyone (possibly, since I don't know her) be surprised to think of her having any issues?
Who spent half of their career being MTV's whore?
I reiterate what I've said before: trying to portray Kurt as a victim of those who followed him (the fanatics are always a bunch of idiots) is ridiculous. He is only a victim of himself: a toxic person, with severe addiction problems that likely affected his psyche as well, given the mood swings and inconsistencies. He was bipolar, which in itself is a hell.
As for this nonsense, only a fanatic or a vulture could consider it.

We are on the same wavelength. Today was a used record market: not that there was anything special, but I bought a couple of CDs for 7 euros each. And I'm happy to enjoy them or trash them if I don't like them (even though I already know what to expect).

Absolutely interesting interview. I don't agree with the part about sharing. Music is art. Beyond the garbage that circulates, what interests me is that the musician produces good music. And to do that, time and costs are required. The fact that record labels have taken advantage of this is something even the walls know. But paying €15 for a CD feels right to me. I enjoy everything about the album: the music, the cover, the artwork; I try to understand what the band wants to communicate. It seems to me that it's not a matter of fair value, but of compulsive listeners who consume music like a snack and want to spend as little as possible. But art must have a value. Otherwise, we end up stripping it of its capacity to be art. Unfortunately, this happens all too often today.

My cat's name is Tommy. Period. Not by chance...

Alessio doesn't write like that...napolinelcuore, I would have sworn it was him...
