Already mentioned elsewhere, the musically eighties atmosphere is, for many, a distracting limit from the qualities of a truly great album. For me, of course, not. Live, if I’m not mistaken, Waters no longer performs it... although in the best "Flickering Flame" there's something there (a sign that even the author does not disown it... on the contrary...)

I can't see Conte anymore, I've never seen Faber... there was a lot of Waits (sometimes too much), now he’s starting to break away from what he is, and remains, the model (today we’re more in the realm of Fank's Wild Years... once we were in the territory of Small Change and Blue Valentine). It's incredible that anyone claims the Waits comparison is far-fetched. Still, I repeat, now he’s distancing himself with the sounds of old Europe, smooth and Balkan, and that is very, very beautiful.

In my opinion, the album is objectively beautiful, even though it is definitely the "easiest" of RW... the absolutely eighties arrangements make it beautiful to me, but probably very "untrendy" for many. I repeat what I have said elsewhere...: in the eighties, there was still experimentation, whereas afterward, with rare exceptions, there wasn't. That's why even figures like Waters and Gilmour said something new in the eighties (like Bowie and many others), while later they also began to repeat themselves and to "copy" (though, of course, at a very high level...). There is a beautiful bootleg of the tour for this album available online, with a bit of patience, featuring many reinterpretations of Pink... very interesting...

I interrupt to say that, in my opinion, this is the perfect album to start getting to know SW! A wonderful live...

What I think is in my review of the same album, sent yesterday, before I saw this publication... (otherwise I might have avoided the duplicate...)... anyway, it's pointless to repeat myself...: when they publish, read.... (and for me, it's a great product anyway...)

"Is it possible that a CD could have appealed to twenty-somethings ten years ago just as it does to a twenty-year-old today?"...: a forgivable question precisely because you are twenty... the right formula would be: it is essential that those who are twenty today know and appreciate music from forty years ago! I know girls who write Jim's lyrics in their diaries without ever having heard a note from The Doors, which is kind of like wearing a Che t-shirt without knowing who he was... But let's get to the album, and your lovely "courage" to listen to it even if, evidently, it’s no longer trendy... AM is a brilliant singer-songwriter, in my opinion, who has paid a bit for repetitiveness over the years, but remains incredibly talented. Anyway... well done... keep going like this, and push yourself a little further back with your listening. You will gain immense satisfaction from it. As for the album, it's an undeniable masterpiece, criticized only for its enormous success...

I'm sorry, but in Oasis I find a perfect synthesis of all the fake, copycat stuff from the '90s, the decade (so far) the most poor and hypocritical of so-called light music (since 2000, or rather, since 2001 it's getting a bit better...)

I say things already said elsewhere...: VC has produced an absolute masterpiece, undoubtedly the most important singer-songwriter work of the new decade (and so far this millennium...), thus an indisputable record. That the echo of Waits, appropriately developed and "caposselato," is equally and always present is also undeniable. But that is not a bad thing: we can define him as a singer-songwriter of the Waitsian school who - probably as of today - has surpassed the Master, adding to the original model all the old and true Europe (and above all Italy) that could not be there in the original due to an excess of cultural constraints......?

It’s the same as 'na sega.....no...just kidding...anyway, I’m the reviewer, and Fabiola (I think that’s her name) is the wife, the one in the video, right? I don’t know if the loss of intelligence is for her...for heaven’s sake, but all the classic symptoms of losing one’s mind over a chick are there...

Yes... I never give ratings either... but this is certainly one of the albums that deserves praise. The question, in the end, is the same as asked elsewhere, other times...: but was Lucio ahead... or was he more than anything else elsewhere....???
