...here you sometimes have a somewhat strange and atypical concept of a review...and wrong.

...it's a review, not a technical sheet...and I don't have to tell the plot...those aren't reviews...that's how I see it.

Paul McCartney Band On The Run

5 jul 08

Voto:

Well, maybe on this album yes... but starting from "Venus And Mars," Paul will give much more space to others and will form a real band, even though he will always be the mastermind... but he'll write "London Town" a bit with Laine, and after Lennon, that will be the one with whom he has written the most songs.

Steven Spielberg Schindler's list

5 jul 08

Voto:

A typical Spielberg film where there is little substance. The usual Good vs. Evil dichotomy that doesn't delve into the characters' psyche (Schindler's must have been quite complex), a hollow portrayal that's too stereotypical and violent. "The Pianist" is definitely something else entirely; that's cinema that tells the story free from ideologies.

Well... it's a Wings album, a serious mistake to attribute it solely to McCartney and especially an irritating historical inaccuracy. Paul McCartney & Wings, please correct. Great record, cohesive with moments of great inspiration, "Mamunia" (the video is lovely), "Blubird," the title track, "1985"... all great pieces. Also part of these sessions is "Oriental Nightfish" sung by Linda, a curious and very interesting track (a kind of prog-pop). For Paul, having Linda close by was a necessity and not just an artistic whim; after all, she was one of the greatest photographers in the music world, and that is not up for debate.

The original training? For me, only the first one is good.

...and the lyrics? Knopfler is a remarkable urban poet, and here, just like in the first two LPs, he proves it. A more commercial and appealing album, but the next one (and the last noteworthy one for me) is a masterpiece featuring a great Pick Withers...someone who has built his career very well, from Mal and the Primitives to Dire Straits...without him, they die for me.

Coldplay Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends

For me, their best album. The first two LPs don't leave a big impression on me... too many catchy songs, nice but a bit bland. This one, along with a little bit of "X&Y", instead left me surprised; they don't come up with anything new, but they reference many other artists in an exemplary way without copying, like The Beatles, U2, Japan, and some atmospheres of prog rock. Certain critics have dismissed it... but these are people who don't listen to albums and, above all, don't buy them.

Queen A Kind of Magic

For me, a decidedly exhausting and pointless job... the songs are terrible and bland, Queen is now past its prime and definitely sold out to the grim commercialization of the time.

....but "Viva La Vida" talks about revolutionaries and revolution... Anyway, a well-made record, for me their best LP, there are no more three-minute songs dominated by the piano and almost artificial, more space for creative freedom... see "42".
