…but, for heaven's sake, do we really need these gaudy American things?

Very objective review, however, you could have delved more into the songs and their mood… anyway, good job.

I don't even know there was a CD2... I've always collected all the Radio albums, but I join the many who, after Ok Computer, haven't been as passionate about them anymore.

Aired on Raitre a few days ago, of course late at night, because it would never be shown in prime time a film that manages to change our perception and our bourgeois and careless way of thinking about immigrants.

They don't do it for money? Yeah right... from reliable sources I’ve heard that they make 120,000 euros per concert... and excuse me if that's not much...

Vasco, YOU’VE BROKEN MY BALLS! We were also there with the band for two dates in London, and it seems that the audience who attended that live show was exclusively made up of Italians living in London...

Dear Primiballi, I always enjoy reading you because, unlike others, you manage to be objective and attentive. I started listening to "Da solo" again and had the reaction you mentioned. Basically, it gathered dust after just two listens. It’s true, the album is not memorable... it feels a bit like closed drawers and winter, and I can’t say if it’s merely a style exercise. There isn’t a single piece, I mean just one, that sticks in your memory like, you know, happened in albums that I adore like Camera a Sud and Il ballo di San Vito. Perhaps Vinicio has chosen to be himself without trying to amaze, to delve into the personal... maybe a necessary interlude with a success that is becoming increasingly uncomfortable... like finding oneself again, regaining essence and confidence. Although it remains a dispensable episode, in my opinion it showcases the sincerity and straightforwardness of an artist who, unlike others, still manages to be necessary. I give him three out of respect and trust in what he deserves.

..But..was there a Pixies concert, by any chance, in Ferrara? Is this supposed to be the review or what? Well...

Pompous and overrated. The first album was a revelation but then they gradually became more and more wound up. Rather than making memorable songs, it seems they want to rewrite Mascagni and Puccini in their own way, and the comparison to Queen is definitely valid. If they were to bring it back down a notch, I think the results would be impressive, but by now...

I understand the wave of enthusiasm, but it seems to me that objectivity in this article is getting a bit lost.
