Well done, JordanSullivan! Inner City Lights is beautiful too.

From what can be seen, the cover matches the poor taste of the entire operation. But why not leave certain difficult attempts at hybridization to those who have the class and expertise to do it (Kronos Q.)? I heard something with great suffering. Horrible.

But truly, NickGhostDrake is right: your nickname is phenomenal. I think the path traced by ZiOn is very "personal" and, like any other, subjective. However, all names are valid, even if inevitably in a jumble. I struggle a lot to choose, and it always ends up that the conversation gets lost in a thousand streams... one thing leads to another... but I would like to try it calmly... maybe I'll send you a message as soon as I have some time.

Well, really, tastes are tastes. I tried with her back then. Maybe it was Tom's brooding charm that overshadowed my desperate attempts, leaving them in the shadows, but with the girl, we never really got close. What do you think, now that all this time has passed, is it worth giving it another shot?

For the adorable George Gordon: great review, great courage to write and publish it. Also great style in the choice (it’s not a lack of topics, you can listen to Iron Maiden and Dream Theater!) of staying by the window, behind the curtain, watching the kids down there venting. It’s a pity only about the choice of the album, which among all those produced by a currently overrated band, competes with the latest in blandness. Of course, I respect your tastes, I wouldn’t dream of critiquing them, I just don't like the atmosphere of the southern curve, even though it can sometimes be amusing. But... can I ask you a question? Do you ever find yourself reading what those mischief-makers up there write and try listening to albums you were previously unaware of, without the biases you recognize in others and can’t imagine in yourself? There’s a lot of stuff in here; you may like it or not, but if you genuinely care about music, you'll enjoy it much more if you let curiosity take you to places you never thought you’d visit. Take advantage of it. Free your mind, your ass will follow. Maybe start with the Funkadelic, just a random name. With affection.

Has no one reviewed it yet? And there are 8,000 reviews for Octavarium or whatever the hell it's called? Wow... unbelievable. It's true, hyperbole tends to spoil everything else a little, but you've nicely filled a gap. The title is really pretentious, but antimo_d is too harsh. With all that going on, something is bound to get burned...

Yes. That's right. I'm listening to it again today (after quite a while). Thank you.
Jovanotti Buon Sangue
Voto:
Well, Kosmogabri... are you sure that the consideration fits only him? I believe, instead, that about fifty years of history (not to want to go too far back into the Italian misdeeds) demonstrate exactly the opposite. And I’m not just talking about the so-called "ruling class." This country is just like that, and quickly the chickens will come home to roost. It’s not comforting, but I fear it’s indisputable. As for Jovanotti, it’s important to consider how much his record weighs in the annual revenue of his record label: perhaps he’s not the only one wishing the album is liked by everyone...

Eneathedevil, straightforward and immediate is quite close to pleasant... This is definitely, among his works, the album that has spun the most on my turntable. But as for his compositional journey and its articulation, Maximizing the audience, for example, is far more significant. However, your review is perfect and I like the idea that thanks to this certain music, it finds its space here, among the stench of sewers and dripping armpits. All the more so because what is valuable remains. The rest, indeed... cola.
