The album is really good.. but it could have said a bit more.. well, the smile plastered across my face explains a bit the reasons.. hi hi.. anyway, the CD is really beautiful, and besides this happiness (see smiles) it also brings a hint of veiled melancholy.. maybe you should have emphasized that..

..but it's not hard rock...

...great album, a gem. energy and feeling... the review is concise but impactful... I don't agree on the arrangements. well done anyway, sallu...

I completely agree... maybe you won't, but I would have included rockin' chair too... it's beautiful as well... not to mention that the b-sides are mostly gorgeous songs... just look at stay young!

Oh Carletto, tastes are tastes!... in fact, this CD doesn't even appeal to Noel, and every time I go to their concert he never plays me a song... and damn it!.. he could at least do one for me!... I think it's musically superior, and then the lyrics.... he expresses many things I wish I could say!....

x Toni and Furmini... in my opinion, they could have done better... they had the material. That's why I said it's "thrown together." Anyway, they had all the excuses in the book (first album, young band, funding so-so...). But that's just my opinion. I think if they had worked on it a bit more, it would have been a really great album. Maybe they're saving themselves for other wonders... but sorry, I just can't listen to "Rock'n Roll Star" and "Shakermaker"... me, who listens to any of their chords! Well, tastes change; maybe in 5 years, I’ll only listen to those... for now, this is what I think...

..and anyway I didn't give such a negative comment (except for the first two..)

Come on Gepetto, tastes are tastes and opinions are opinions!... I judged Definitely Maybe this way because I think it deserves it... every time I listen to it again I stop at track three and put it on repeat. "Live Forever" is beautiful, I love it and the live version is something that stays with you, but if I have to judge an album, I can't ignore my thoughts on the other songs...

I was about to write a review about them, but I saw that LOR15 has already written everything I wanted to say. Maybe you could have focused a bit more on some songs, but it's also true that if you start describing all 36'27' of "Is This It," five pages wouldn't be enough. Truly an excellent album of great rock. It's not like the Velvet's, it's different. But the Velvet was from another time. And it doesn't mean that beautiful rock can't exist in a different way.
A CD that will make history, as long as in 2030 when a new band comes along making good rock, we don't start saying "yes, but they're not the Strokes"… guys, everyone lives in their own time and music is just the expression of who we are. And the Strokes are the perfect expression of the early century. With all due respect to those who only listen to Velvet & co.

The review isn’t bad at all… it’s really well done. I completely agree, especially on the fact that Green Day have always kept in mind the COMMERCIAL FACTOR. They made an essential contribution to marketing punk in the nineties and they’re still doing it. I don’t know if this is a bad or a good thing, but I definitely find it absurd that anyone listening to American Idiot thinks they are a new-style punk. Please, let’s not say nonsense… American Idiot is not a throwaway album; it has some good songs as well as some ridiculous nonsense with absurd chords.
Anyway, guys, don’t turn this album into a miracle, and don’t elevate Billy Joe to divine levels because the only thing that drives him to make the music he makes, to grab his crotch and simulate an orgasm during concerts, to be one AGAINST THE SYSTEM even before being a singer, is SELLING. And he has understood that to sell, he needs to write to attract twelve- and thirteen-year-olds to his concerts. Anyway, the CD is listenable.
