Thank you all, also for the (unfounded) trust you’ve placed in me. To begin with, I really wanted to start with the famous historical frameworks since the album has often caused rock chronologies to be reshuffled... Aerith, don’t despair, I too would have liked to do the review of the New York Dolls, but... as you can see!! I’m looking forward to reading your next one.

We are facing a transition, but... it was about time. From here, a new yet always unmissable phase. Congratulations on such heartfelt participation in such a work. You made me relive it all.

Legendary. They made us discover what we could become. Great, even on the second album. Always great!

David Bowie Diamond Dogs

Of course it pales in comparison to a Ziggy or a Hunky Dory... But it's wonderful. And devastatingly Seventies.

Paul McCartney Tug Of War

19 sep 05

Voto:

It may not be a masterpiece, but it's the best Macca album of the '80s. And it's fun, cheerful and melancholic, elegant and raucous... Paul must have put everything into it back then. It's a shame he wasn't in superb form...

The Smiths Meat Is Murder

In six, a great one... long live the Smiths and nostalgia!! And after all, they’ve aged too, but very, very well... Anyway, The Queen Is Dead beats this one easily.

The Police Ghost In The Machine

In theory, a minor album by the Police, but in theory, Zenyatta was also a hasty little disc thrown together for contractual obligations. But these are the Police, and the talent of the trio is enormous; perhaps in terms of creativity and intelligence, this war trio can be placed between Cream and the Jam. Maybe even better than Synchronicity, but I'm impartial as I’m a fan of the early period.

Eels Beautiful Freak

Voto:

I agree with those who defend the "true" review. But Debaser is beautiful because it is varied, and what you can find here (like poetic tales, delusions a la Vic Sorriso, megalomaniac attempts like those of Enkriko, the incredible Vasco fans who take hits from everyone, etc.) where else do you find it?? So Cataldo, you did well to choose this type of review, because the only thing that should separate a good text from a bad one here is the possible lack of involvement in the composition and the failure to attempt to convey your impressions/feelings to others. As for the album... well, the Eels have done better; they have conveyed much deeper and more intricate emotions, and they have managed to refine the (delightful) rehearsals of this debut work. The example is immediate: Electro-Shock Blues.

Lou Reed Animal Serenade

Anyway, Lou is from '42. And if he were from '44 as you say, wouldn't he be 61 instead of 62??? Big hit, in my opinion it even surpasses R'n'R Animal.

The best album by E&TB. A wave of fresh lightness in the magical world of new wave of the time... unfortunately, the group caught the Bauhaus syndrome; in the following albums, there would be a gradual yet slow erosion of creativity. But here, everything is still very enjoyable. Back then, commerciality also meant music like this, and it’s nice, albeit bittersweet, to acknowledge it.
