And then you complain about my reviews???? (see the Nuggets box set, after that I stopped writing reviews because I was somewhat destroyed by some little professor correcting the mistakes - how I understand you The Punisher -) Dear Vic Smile, I don't adore that record but I think you have offended and dishonored the figure of one of the greatest artists of the century. Your considerations are nothing compared to what John has left us. He was a man, he made mistakes, but I, like many on this site, care for him deeply and I feel grateful to him because, thanks to him, perhaps we are better men who love music and believe that behind it there are men and women with a vision of the world different from the one that has always been imposed on us. It's outrageous that such nonsense is published.

Great record. Here, I find it hard to pick which chapter of his discography was the best. Certainly, "Aida" contains the true essence of Rino, his human essence in "Escluso il cane," and the ever-relevant irony of "Spandi, spendi, effendi." And then "Aida," as Gaber would say, "I don't feel Italian but fortunately or unfortunately I am." Yes, we will miss Rino, very much... A few years before his death, he was going through a bit of a crisis; in his last two albums, his light had somewhat dimmed and he ended up performing with Cocciante (sigh..!). I think he was never truly understood, or that he was so deeply himself that he rejected certain artistic compromises...

Oops... it's the opposite Nuggets I concerns the American landscape and Nuggets II the English one. Sorry, it never hurts to...

I feel like a person who accepts criticism, but I didn't like your "ultrà" tone. I wonder why, only in Italy, when you touch some sacred monument, a landslide of criticism comes down. Want an example? The Beatles are practically untouchable. I've met people who get offended just hearing someone talk about them. Dear Rocky, I can’t talk about Nuggets II because I haven’t listened to it; buying the first one was already a struggle. All I know is that while Nuggets II travels through the American landscape of the sixties, Nuggets explores the English scene, that’s all. And how can one focus on just a few songs and groups when there are so many worthy of note: should I tell you that “An Invitation to Cry” by The Magicians is a piece of pure and crystal-clear pop? That “Don't Look Back” by The Remains would make a bland group like Jet turn pale? That “Night Time” by the Strangeloves makes you jump out of your seat?
I apologize if I've offended your sensitivities as grammatically correct and infallible enthusiasts, always hunting for the flaws of others, you poor ignorant souls. Rather, next time, I’ll ask for permission or let you read the review in advance, hoping for your approval. What a pity, I once appreciated the idea of this site very much, the possibility for everyone to express their opinions on something as beautiful as music. Clearly, someone here has monopolized the scene, what a shame. A salute to all, I reluctantly take my leave, always proud to be TIZIOCAIO.

Oops, vote.

Nice review, congratulations. The album, after a series of endless listens, I've put away among the many. I think that after a while it's the same old story. A Pain That I'm Used To eventually becomes monotonous, although supported by a sound impact that would make even the most terrible Marilyn Manson envious, and Precious is no longer a standout, even among ringtones it's finished...

So....I think it's essential to clarify one thing. What matters most in a review is trying to convey the emotions that an album can evoke in others. In the case of this compilation, the most exciting thing is knowing that before garage, there was little or nothing. This compilation contains all the music to come; there are often daring sonic alchemies, like the Love, for example, who combine the garage spirit with a musicality reminiscent of Bacharach (!), or the Sonics, who, not without reason, some define as the first punk band in history. Now, dear DisgustingIndividualOfShit, I wouldn't dream of asking you for permission to talk or describe the emotions this album has stirred in me. We still live in a free country; my way of describing may be ungrammatical, and perhaps I didn't bother to check whether the 13th Floor Elevators were the 25th or the 13th, I might have messed up the floor... what does it matter... I was probably distracted in the elevator with your girlfriend, dear Disgust-ing-individual, and I didn't notice what floor we were on when I got stuck in the elevator and had my fun right in front of you, with all the pleasure (assuming a despicable individual like you can find any). In fact, if you want to buy the compilation, remember to ask for permission from Mr. De-Gusticazzi, lest he take offense; let him know your cultural standing, your social class, in fact, make sure to pronounce the names of the bands correctly, otherwise, he’ll forbid you from buying it and give you little whacks on your hands…

I agree that an extra effort should have been made. For example, we could mention the digression our band makes on the album regarding Christmas, so we stay on topic. No, just kidding. I understand that the album doesn’t need commentary, but come on...

Beautiful Ringo, a review that attempts to describe the emotions of a legendary album. It seems that this record is in the heart collection of two greats like Tom Waits and Springsteen, an album that leaves a mark.
