Fantastic! In truth, I really like that little grayish thing (let's keep this between us), but it makes reading quite exhausting, which, for a visually impaired person like me, is already a challenge on its own.
It's vandalism. Sprinkling one's urine on a work of art is vandalism. Classic, I would say. And I assume it would remain so, even in the case of someone else's urine.

antimo_d, you have to listen to Rip Rig & Panic. Not that you should, not that you can.

Ege...blessed indeed. It's just that we are rather old, at least I am. When it came out, it didn't exactly fly off the shelves, and it wasn't hard to get. The vinyl, by the way, I believe costs a fortune today, let alone 31 euros. And since I'm here, I'll spend a couple more words on the cover: very well done.

Well, Kosmogabri. It depends a little on what interests you in music. This album is REALLY unique and at the time it hit like a ton of bricks for being too early (RingoStarfish is right), a victim of oblivion. But in a way, it's a blessing. We lack a plagiarism of Y by some band rummaging through the past, an activity so common today... If antimo_d can remedy this, take advantage of it. I only have a chewed-up vinyl and I don't even know if it exists on CD.

You are the perfect teacher for this crowded class. I will attend all the lessons if you keep up the pace of this one, which I believe is the first. Even though I’m already rich, famous, and I can’t stand all these beautiful girls anymore.
For zzzzzzzzzzz: I adore!

And I almost forgot the vote.

It's not De André's best album, but it's the most atypical one. Even musically. I believe I recall that the arrangements were by a very young Piovani back then, but I should check; I don't have the album at hand. You have undertaken a beautiful endeavor with this album. I appreciate the courage, and I imagine the description of the narrative journey is very useful for those who are not familiar with it. However, I struggle a bit with the didactic tone and still believe that the "stylistic signature" is too determining an element, especially in the work of such a significant author, to be relegated or overwhelmed by any attempt at "explanation." Every word and the sound of each one, that voice gradually becoming "more mature," as you aptly say, demands an attentive listening. That will hardly fall victim to any sudden form of oblivion. For example, I have never been able to forget even a comma or a sound from that song that begins: "Quando in anticipo sul tuo stupore verranno a chiederti del nostro amore..." simply sublime. Yes, one thing I have forgotten: the title. But this is the age that erodes the already scant stash of neurons.
Regards, Francesco.

Could you, for goodness' sake, be more explicit, dear Dufresne?
And less grayish? (It's just a maneuver so simple that even I could perform it without undue hesitation.)
By posing such an allusive question, you presuppose a shared perception of the nature of "this." Without taking into account the connotation of the term vandalism, which unfortunately is, as often happens, quite debatable.
There is no, and I hope you don't perceive it as such, any polemical intent.
I naturally have an uninfluential opinion on the matter, which I refrain from expressing at the moment, also because it was not my intention to raise such a serious issue.
I believe it is clearly expressed in the non-review what the intent was.
But I await your clearer elaboration and reserve the right to respond as soon as you do.
Regards.

Eh, Spacca... I was thinking of getting involved too. It's true, it's a one-of-a-kind album and the review pretty much captures the idea.

Let's not get tangled up any further; this thicket is dense... You tease me, but we risk getting all knotted up. Chivalrous greetings.
