This Tabba is a crazy guy, colleagues... who’s going to write him a nice little defamation suit? I volunteer!
The undersigned Vinsex, Fidia Mista, and mother of Mista hereby file a formal complaint against Mr. Tabba in D-shirt for the offenses p. e p. art. 594 and 595 of the Italian Penal Code, as well as for any further offense that Your Excellency may consider to be constituted by the behaviors described and any that may be confirmed during the investigation... I’m working on it, guys! Tabba, tremble! You’re screwed!

Well... the Maiden, when they tried to change (within limits), and still had creative spirit, produced wonderful albums like "Somewhere In Time" and "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son." Then it's clear that when the creativity runs dry, you get crap like "X Factor," but that has nothing to do with the desire to change. As for the Darkness... come on, let's be serious, they may be funny and entertaining, but these guys contribute to rock as much as the movie "School Of Rock" or the TV series "The Osbournes," and it seems like they're aware of it themselves!

I respond to the comment from the nice Franky. On "Sabbath," I don't quite agree with you. I don't sense this great attempt to break free from the image of roughhewn guys playing out-of-tune guitars (from "Master of Reality," the tuning even drops a tone and a half) as much as I feel the need to engage with rock styles that were a bit more codified and in vogue at the time. This is apparent, in my opinion, both in the riffs and in the vocal melodies as well as in the lyrics (lovely ladyyyyy making love all night long). I see a much more similar attempt at emancipation in songs like "Who Are You" or "Spiral Architect." Regarding the latter, I agree with you, although I was a bit succinct in my review; I actually meant to say that while the instrumental parts and arrangements are truly remarkable and fascinating, that track lacks the immediacy (or incisiveness) that other Black Sabbath songs have. It’s clear that upon careful listening, the piece appears excellent; it will always lack, for me, that extra touch of eternity. Finally, I would like to specify that my somewhat irreverent description of the Black Sabbath eras was not meant to exclude the value of certain works post-"Sabotage," but rather to express my nostalgia for the early, unattainable, and unreachable wonders of the English quartet. As for Fidia: "Born Again," an immense album?! I’ll listen to it again today, but if I remember correctly, that album is pretty mediocre and sounds like it was produced in a basement...

Come on guys, let's not kid ourselves, this record might be enjoyable but it’s a showcase of rock’n’roll clichés from the last 30 years. I bought it too and found it entertaining, but the fact remains that these mando diao are four little poses who act all high and mighty and even dare to say that their music is way better than that of the bands they shamelessly copy!!! To put it in Berlusca’s words, “WHAT SHAMELESSNESS!”
