Do you mean that it's too "utopian" of a review?

I continue to reiterate that I'm sorry if anyone felt touched by my words. After all, there are very few who defend me when I'm the one being attacked, which is why I wouldn't change a single comma or "z" in my review. I still believe that Jeff Buckley is a boring and somewhat, how should I put it, "inflexible" artist; if he had the face of Iuliano (the Juventus player) and if he were still alive today, we wouldn't be talking about this "Grace" as much... I think with my own head, not with that of the media.
I don’t regret what I write: my last reviews were ruined in the comments by spam and/or gratuitous insults, so this review is my little "Metal Machine Music" in response to this situation. Let those who want to understand, understand.

I made a mistake... I meant to write "never forgotten," at least by me.

At least make yourself known instead of signing as anonymous, son of a bitch!

Stuff for eccentrics. Bourgeois. Spoiled. Boringly hippie.

I like them. But personally, I find them to be a mix between Joy Division (damn, in some tracks they are THEM!!) and Television.. well, I'm the last in a long line to say these things. Anyway, they write great songs, and the singer reminds me of I.C. that's enough for me.

Comments about live shows from foreign bands (especially English ones) in Italy are often negative and/or catastrophic because Italians have the bad habit of belittling rock novelties coming from abroad. Come on, when has an Italian band ever been criticized? NEVER! Not even the 5000th damn ska band gets the necessary backlash. It’s said that Subsonica are the future of Italian rock, but from which angle? There’s nothing more predictable and opportunistic than them! A refined band like the Veils is quickly forgotten here, and I’m talking about the Veils, not the Rolling Stones.

I literally devoured "Six" when it came out. I found it brilliant, absolutely eccentric. I know every single note of that album by heart: it’s so familiar that I don't even feel like writing about it. I thought that after that album, Mansun would become a great band, but instead, it ended badly: what a shame. "Little Kix," however, is garbage; it really sounds like a different group.

R.E.M. Around The Sun

"Leaving New York" already a classic.
"The Outsiders" stubborn and engaging.
"Make It All Ok" a run through the city in the rain.
"Wanderlust" a crash between "the passenger" by Iggy Pop and "sunday sunday" by Blur.
"The Abscent Of Man" irresistible.

Jeff Buckley Grace

Let's take an example: I have a passion, let’s call it childish, for Oasis. Okay, I know very well how things are, I know all the glamour surrounding the Gallagher brothers, I know it all. But, damn, I like them—what can I do? Listening to Oasis is like when you occasionally go to the park to feed the ducklings like you did as a child... a dive into the past. If someone writes a review saying Oasis sucks, etc., I, even though I’m affected, don’t respond like some people have here, calling me ignorant (how banal!) or an idiot. I disagree, vigorously if we want, but always within the limits of respect, damn it. Music is my, our life: but we’re always talking about music. Well, still, I don’t think I’m wrong.
