Listen, mmmmmitic Giorgio, where are you from? How did you get to know these nanowari?

It's definitely a great CD, and Giorrrrrgio doesn't really know anything about music but he gets into it! Plus, the review is divine because... I'm the coolest in the world: full score!

I also share Norma's opinion. The more one is cultured in something (in this case, music), the more valid experiences one has to form a fair opinion... it's statistics. In my opinion, you don't venture to judge a musical album just as you don't take risks in life; it's YOUR way of acting and thinking, which I believe is more tied to your personality than to your musical experience. This world is mine just as it is yours, and it only waits to be shaped by OUR hands.
I also want to let you know that I don't care whether a certain group goes on MTV or whether my favorite group (which I don't have) appears there; rather, I would like to protect future generations from a monopolized world that especially manipulates people and things, transforming them into unreal people and things.
In short, I sincerely care that the media do not obscure reality. What I wrote on this page is solely an outburst against the concealment of TRUE art and its functions, effects that I observe in many people who say they "listen to music."
I did this on a review of Vasco because I know many fans of Vasco who are like this, but I've noticed that there are few of those types on this site. For the rest of the discussion, I agree with you.
Ah, and what do you think of "A Passion Play"? Ciaooooooooo.

Metallica sold out! Topo Gigio is doing some terrifying death-prog-power metal and they are... doing nothing!

After Yes entered my life, I realized that Dream is almost exclusively Metallica + Yes, nothing more, nothing less. But woe to anyone who criticizes John, Jordan, and Mike! If John is playing at G3, there must be a reason, right? Mike has won what seems like 5 awards for Best Drummer (I mean, have you seen his solo in the Budokan DVD?) and Jordan is nothing short of indescribable! Those are artists! People who have music in their blood! There may be others who are less or more skilled, but who cares! Your skill meters don't measure worth well down to the thousandth! They are magnificent like so many others. Enough. And Metropolis is fabulous for its story, musical harmony, the complexity of the album, etc. Some like it and some don't, but there is something objective that can be said: it is UNIQUE!

Ah, duloz, I haven't watched MTV since I started listening to music (10 years... ago). If I know what they broadcast nowadays, it's because people like my sister watch it, and so I have to endure this MTV disaster (just like I have to endure Vasco everywhere). And I really don't think it’s like you say, that "we all stopped watching it since the stone age." I think people like those who adore Vasco still feed on bread and MTV! And in the statement "Why don't they teach how to use your brain at school instead of teaching history?" I mentioned history because it was the first subject that came to my mind (after geography, which, at least in my area, they have already eliminated from the core curriculum). Bye o-)

Well, apart from this perhaps insignificant aside, I wanted to say that regarding Picasso, he is famous for having expressed the very modern (but at the time genius and innovative) way of doing things naturally, without many problems. Here lies the artist! And I add that if critics had not tried to provide an explanation for those works, they certainly would not have arrived at the conclusion that it was done to "ridicule" the critic's craft. When a person stands in front of a work of art, they should be at least minimally interested in what surrounds the work; otherwise, going to the Biennale is like going to the Monday market!!!

Re-reading this page, I found a rough outline of a discussion on this topic by DULOZ and ANTIMO_D, which I appreciated for its idea and development, but not for how it concluded.
I want to open a small parenthesis for DULOZ before I begin. (. Done. Ha, ha!
No, so I want to point out that I’ve said from the beginning that I don’t possess a musical background of quantity (since I’ve been listening to music on my own for about ten years and without advice, I’ve been on the right path only for a few years), but rather of quality because I own the complete discographies of quality bands like the ones I listed (plus some others); also, I don’t know of any media libraries here in the low Friuli region, and I don’t have the ability to download albums in a snap, so what I have is targeted.
Anyway, I would like comments on what I say and not on what I seem to you, also because I am the most AVAILABLE person (first and foremost to listen) in the world (but please don’t now conduct a detailed literal analysis of my sentence: try to understand what I’m saying, don’t isolate yourself and look at others from your world (this too is a way of saying NOT offensive)).

Regarding the term "commercial," I think we need to understand what it means. I've heard comments stating that certain artists make CDs just to sell them. Good morning! Music is different from other arts for this reason: while in other arts the produced object is unique, a music album is inherently created with the intention of making it known (and hopefully to a wide audience).
Therefore, I believe that the desire to "sell" is not the main characteristic that defines "commercial" music. Rather, it seems to me that it's the willingness to cater to the desires of the audience instead of expressing one's own ideas; which is obviously anti-artistic because it doesn't lead to the expression of new concepts but rather to those that are already present and well-known.
I want to reiterate and emphasize that the term ART is a TERM and thus has a meaning: it refers to the expression of new and innovative concepts in an equally innovative and creative way. This is not something I say, but something that ART HISTORIANS assert, who I believe know more about it than all of us combined. If anyone disagrees, I invite them to present their reasons.

I read some comments online about the "musical monopoly" of MerdaTv, and I noticed that in most cases, it’s thanks to metal that they discovered the independence of musical choice. In short: metal is the cure (one could say). Don’t take me totally seriously, of course; it’s just a hypothesis... and playful, but also based in some truth and maybe it could be true.
