Well done, Socrates: I mentioned John in the review because it was simply right, but someone seems to have interpreted that I think they are good just because they are named Coltrane...(confirming that for some the surname is a bearer of a presumption of inferiority and nothing else...)

For me, Once Upon A Time is the masterpiece, where there is the best of the previous era, refined and perfected, and the best of what would come after... Everything in that album seems to be truly well-written... (and the subsequent celebratory live is splendid...)

Coltrane, like Miles, is on another planet compared to everyone else. Nothing to say or add.

partly agree with everything, especially the weakness of the choruses...: well, for me, the SM have remained a great band in terms of sound and vocal and instrumental timbre, but the harmonic genius of the early productions... well...

Well... this is so obvious it's almost trivial... What I was saying is this: don't you think that a Giorgio Conte (I hope you're speaking from experience... for example... have you heard the latest live in Alberobello...?) deserved, I don't know..., a career on par with that of the late Bertoli...? I do, but in this case the surname has undoubtedly been a disadvantage. No one says that Cristiano is Faber, that would be nonsense, but that he's a craftsman who deserved more than any random Britti, can we deny that...? That's all. Oh... you don't have to agree, of course...

The spontaneity, candor, and total sincerity of this lovely Mariaelena make me like her instantly. Well done and welcome (you might have gone in with an axe... but you tackled quite a tricky little issue...). Cheers!

It's nice to see the debate returning about when the registry wanted me in high school...: I agree that the SM at these levels would have created some problems for the much-praised U2... but I go even further...: are you sure that in these ten or more years of failures, and only for this reason, the SM have made some terrible albums...? I don’t think so, and I have them all.

If we focus the discussion on the passivity or not of the attitude, there’s nothing more to say: we agree. What I’m saying, with regret, mind you, is that Dylan and Brassens always originate from elsewhere. That you personally consider De André infinitely superior to Brassens is another matter. He has had the artistic development of a genius, and that places him above almost everyone. It’s the gene that almost always resides elsewhere, but, I repeat, it’s a venial sin...

surely a gap to fill: an album with a tremendous atmosphere, written and performed exceedingly well. PG, as a voice, is very minimal, but one note is enough to understand that everything is "his"...

I agree on everything: truly remarkable album, as it's unexpected (perhaps). The space (finally returned to normal) of the great and historic drummer surely played a significant role. Nice album, nice album...: let's hope the usual judgments from those who haven't listened to it don't rain down...
