Vasco Rossi Gli Spari Sopra

13 feb 07

Voto:

I agree with you (except for the man in front of you, who, although baroque and overflowing, objectively seems to me to be the only original composition on the album, along with valzer di gomma). Stupendo is a guitar base by Braido, not much else, Vivere one of Riva's weaker compositions, although catchy. Gabri harmonically is an ultra-recycled banality (and you are quite right about the lyrics). Vasco "useful," anyway, is what goes from '78 to '83. Provided, of course, that a criterion of usefulness makes sense (and I believe it does, even if it's a very difficult discourse...)

@lux...the criterion of utility is always very, very dangerous...according to this criterion, 99% of records are objectively to be thrown away. Regarding this in particular, I say that it is already Vasco of compositional decline...the interventions of Braido (great) and a couple of compositions are saved (valzer di gomma, which is indeed much earlier, and, for me, l'uomo che hai qui di fronte, but the issue is quite contentious...)

J.J. Cale & Eric Clapton The Road To Escondido

It must be clarified...: a dish is a dish... it never takes flight and doesn't particularly excite... but, conceding the indisputability of the greatest works of the best Eric... Have you ever listened to JJ attentively (I’m a devotee and regularly listen to his discography)? He has, more or less, always done this kind of thing. Be careful not to fall into clichés or the exaltation of overvalued (and perhaps little-known) golden ages.

Well... if I were to say they've always been overrated, would a tsunami of insults come my way...?

Anna Oxa Processo A Me Stessa

Voto:

Sanremo is becoming an increasingly indecent show that many use for the vain attempt at a comeback, while others (the shrewdest ones) do it because it's essentially an economical megawatt showcase (reaching all those people in a short time would cost a fortune). Artistically, however, it has been at zero (absolute) for a very long time. Oxa, a character who has always been overrated, is now living off that... she doesn't need to "return" to something, she needs to retire (otherwise, she'll end up in summer dance halls...).

Avion Travel Danson Metropoli - Canzoni di Paolo Conte

3 feb 07

Voto:

I’m very conflicted...: I’ve always adored Conte for a thousand reasons (one better than the other) and I’ve never been able to stand the ATs, for just as many reasons that I find equally valid and that I’ll explain if anyone’s interested… The problem is, I wouldn’t feel right not trusting Conte… Useless…: I will have to take the risk, embrace it, and listen to it. Of course, an Aguaplano superior to the original, right off the bat, feels like blasphemy to me........who knows... I’ll come back “studied.”

Vasco Rossi Basta Poco

And to think that Pistolini (a critic who is by no means an idiot) liked it. Word for word: "a modest masterpiece with a Lou Reedian flavor, mixed with the rock of the Bassa." Well... If I have to be honest, in my opinion Vasco has done much better, but also much worse... it’s the spirit of the operation that I stand by everything I’ve already written.

@ales: I give you the mitigating factor of your evident bad mood, but, forgive me, you didn't understand a damn thing of my speech. Let me preface: I love Vasco and have always played his music with my friends, having a great time. Among those who fill the stadiums, there's regularly me as well. What I wanted to say is that he CANNOT PASS OFF A TRICK (EVEN A VERY WELL DONE ONE) AS A GESTURE OF SINGER-SONGWRITER AUSTERITY (!!!!!). Nothing more, nothing less. If you knew me (just read me carefully), you would know that I'm not a snob and I never have been, and you would understand my tastes and what my words mean. No hard feelings.

Enzo Jannacci The Best

Voto:

of course... but I see much more expression and vocal technique in De Gregori's last 20 years than in Guccio (mind you, I love both...). Anyway, obviously no problem (we’re already few who love Jannacci, we just don't need to argue among ourselves...).
