Eugenio Finardi Non Gettate Alcun Oggetto Dai Finestrini

11 sep 06

Voto:

I found all of Finardi's albums from the 70s and 80s for 4 euros at a shopping center on the outskirts of Milan. I bought two (you understand, 8 euros is a super deal), this one and "Diesel". Between the two, I definitely prefer the latter. Anyway, this one is nice too.

The Rolling Stones The Rolling Stones

11 sep 06

Voto:

It's the debut album by the Rolling Stones and consists solely of covers of American black music. Dirty and bad, the Stones were like a bolt from the blue: forget the Beatles, so neat and tidy (at least until "Sgt. Pepper's"), and some tracks are truly remarkable. We must mention at least "Tell Me" (what an oversight, reviewer!), a fantastic song reinterpreted in Italy by Equipe 84 with the title "Quel che ti ho dato."

John Lennon Imagine

10 sep 06

Voto:

A symbolic record, a timeless masterpiece. Peace&Love, simple stuff (maybe), but undoubtedly effective: Lennon is so in shape that he can afford to poke fun at his ex-friend McCartney with "How do you sleep." After the Beatles disbanded, this is the most beautiful and famous page, with a gem "Jealous Guy" that is worth just as much as "Imagine," meaning a whole lot. The review deserves a 1 just for giving this album a 3: and on DeBaser, there are people who give 5 to Black Sabbath...

Francesco Renga Camere con vista

Notice to Krystal: Renga has never been and will never be. "Angel" gives chills, out of sadness. And anyway Krystal, you've written better reviews. Until next time.

Peter Gabriel Peter Gabriel IV

10 sep 06

Voto:

"Shock of the Monkey" Peter Gabriel took the trouble to come and present it at Sanremo (that edition of the Festival was won by Riccardo Fogli, which is as far from Gabriel as one can get). I prefer "So" and, after all, also "Us", but one cannot help but be left speechless, and moreover here Gabriel embarks on the path of danceable pop (not much, but significant). A great songwriter, one of the best of all time.

Üstmamò Stard'Üst

10 sep 06

Voto:

They say that the Ustmamò are almost geniuses (anything is possible, nothing can be excluded). Listening to this "Stard'Ust," one can't help but feel a bit incredulous: they are good, but around, or at least in Italy, there are at least twenty groups that are better (and perhaps less acclaimed) than this one. The reviewer is not objective, but the review holds up.

99 Posse La vida que vendrà

9 sep 06

Voto:

Now, I am as far away from these seemingly no-global gentlemen as one can be, so I should give them a 1 regardless. But I won’t do that: these 99 Posse, and particularly this album, deserve esteem and respect because they know how to make good commercial music (and making commercial music is not a crime, especially since in 2006 it’s ridiculous to think that the only good artists are the ones who sell 3 copies, all of which are to family). Just "L'anguilla" would be enough to understand how deserving of respect they have been and still are today. The cover, moreover, is wonderful. The review is a bit less great.

Van Halen Van Halen II

9 sep 06

Voto:

"Van Halen II" is, due to unforeseen circumstances (astonishing and unexpected public success, commercial pressures, evident repetitiveness), inferior to the first. But that doesn't mean it’s bad; and it raises an intriguing question: can you make good music compressing it into just thirty minutes? Yes, and "Van Halen II" is the answer. Great technique and absolutely enviable rhythm open, for better or worse, the unsettling/fabulous (choose the adjective you prefer) Eighties. We won’t hear much from Van Halen for a while, until the thrilling single "Jump" (recently and poorly covered by Paul Anka).
