Neil Young Ragged Glory

9 sep 06

Voto:

It’s the best Neil Young since “Comes a time,” and in fact, it might even be better. Not as magical and inspired as in the days of “Harvest,” yet gritty and, finally after years, fully confident in his abilities. It’s a studio album, but it has the strength and power of a live performance.

Janis Joplin I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama!

8 sep 06

Voto:

I have only listened to "Pearl" by Janis Joplin, and among the 'pearls' of the title, I have a particular fondness for "Me and Bobby McGee," written, among others, by Kris Kristofferson. I have never listened to this one nor have I ever heard it mentioned: broadly speaking, however, I believe that your top 5 weren't chosen at random.

Radiohead Ok Computer

8 sep 06

Voto:

But why, really, does "Paranoid Android" refer to "Happiness is a Warm Gun," as the reviewer suggests? When talking about the Beatles, I think "A Day in the Life" fits better.

Jethro Tull Broadsword And The Beast

8 sep 06

Voto:

But am I wrong or does it seem that every time Jethro Tull is mentioned on DeBaser, a solid 4 or 5 appears right away? The 4 or 5 is given to the masterpieces of Jethro Tull: "Stand Up," "Aqualung," "Living in the Past," maybe "Thick as a Brick," but certainly not to "Broadsword and the Beast," which has never gone down in history simply because it isn't History; it's just a bloated and irritating album, boring and heavy, far removed from the glories of the very early Jethro Tull.

Byrds Fifth Dimension

Voto:

Here, this is the vote for the Byrds (5), regardless of the quality of the album, which unfortunately I have never listened to.

Nada L'Amore E' Fortissimo E Il Corpo No

8 sep 06

Voto:

I fully agree with the reviewer with Cece65, the Nada that won Sanremo in 1970 has nothing to do with this new, suffering, but intense Nada Malanima. "Gesù" is one of the most beautiful Italian songs of all time, enough to make even Battiato pale. It’s no coincidence that I included it in my personal ranking: by the way, have you read it?

Iron Maiden Live At Donington

8 sep 06

Voto:

I’m not a fan of metal, but I’ve listened to some: mostly a lot of nonsense, but sometimes something good. I know little about Iron Maiden, except for a few songs downloaded from the Internet (my favorite is "Running Free"), but when I read on certain websites or in specialized magazines that "Live at Donnington 1992" is a piece of heavy metal history, it piques my curiosity a bit. So, I listened to it (actually, I borrowed it): calling it heavy metal history is a bit of a stretch, the tracks are all of high quality, and the lineup seems interesting (though I don’t know the entire Maiden discography), but it all feels a bit too impeccable. Nevertheless, among the metal albums I've listened to, this one seems to be one of the most interesting.

C.S.I. Linea Gotica

8 sep 06

Voto:

From the enthusiastic comments (and the review), it seems that I’ve understood it to be a masterpiece. I’ve never listened to it, so I can't express myself, but I recently listened to C.S.I.'s "La terra, la guerra, una questione privata" and I must confess that it is a solemn masterpiece (solemn because recorded in a church). Great review.

Radiohead Ok Computer

Voto:

"Paranoid Android" draws inspiration from the Beatles, but rather than from "Happiness is a Warm Gun," it's closer to "A Day in the Life" (and with that username, you should know that well). What is the connection between the Radiohead track and the one by the Beatles? They are two songs that contain three parts (the first section, the interlude, and the finale). Anyway, the album is a masterpiece, and there's no doubt about that...
