Jovanotti Il Quinto Mondo
Voto:
Sorry ANTI, but have you really listened to the lyrics of Jovanotti? I'm not talking about the love songs, which I agree are often very adolescent and filled with clichés; I'm referring to the others... from the album L'ALBERO or even this last one BUON SANGUE... I don't believe you have, otherwise you wouldn't say that the lyrics are silly and predictable (they were in the early albums, I'll agree on that, but I hope your judgment isn’t stuck in 1990!)

oh my god... that the clenched fist is an empty gesture is what you say... if anything, it has become that way also thanks to people like you, who threw in the towel before even starting. I can assure you that for thousands and thousands of people, fortunately, that clenched fist still represents something.

For me, Goldfrapp will ALWAYS and ONLY be "Felt Mountain"... this is fashionable and trendy stuff that will last six months at most!

I agree, although the character, in my opinion, is not entirely to be discarded. Let's say he represents the vices and virtues of an Italian just above average, and then, I agree with Gale that, at this point, Jova IS DOING and IS. Take it or leave it... anyway, I prefer him almost to someone like LIGABUE, who really gets on my nerves at 1000!

"Certainly, this is not an easy record, and it requires a lot of taste (musical) and a great deal of wit (mental), so it’s clear that many who are used more to music, but to musical appearances, wrinkle their noses a bit in front of a work of great class like this"... Sorry El Guevo, but you’re pulling our leg, right? Just say it’s true, otherwise at this rate it’ll be free for all... everything and the opposite of everything is fine, isn’t it?

I don't know if it's easy to find them, but they have a website: www.rosolinamar.it I believe, and knowing the Italian music scene, I'm convinced they will ship it to you directly or almost. I don't know how to make samplers because I have a computer from 15/18...

This album is musically banal to say the least... sure, her voice is always a cut above the rest, but is that enough? Are a beautiful voice and nice lyrics sufficient to create a great album? Or wouldn't it be better to publish a book of verses or a reading on CD?

Great review as usual, Francesco. I’ll try to get it even though I’m concerned about the "dormiveglia" effect typical of ECM things...
