Saputello

What I wanted to emphasize is that nothing comes from nothing, even in the face of genius. And yes, I was afraid those three names were the only ones, which is not true. They may be among the heaviest in the history of rock music (from the '70s onwards), but there are many others. Also, because I don't think the issue can be exhausted by making a "digital" division, according to which one either invented or didn't. I accept an "analog" division, in which this person innovated this and that, that person maybe a little less, and the other person almost nothing but was seminal for this movement. Dave, it seems to me that you also prefer the analog sound to the digital one. Join my sect. No peremptory opinions. No digital divisions 0 1. Just analog controls. And tube amplifiers. Although the transistor in some cases... Damn, how analog I am.

"Maybe now we’ll find out that behind the Residents, there are the Ricchi e Poveri!!" -------> Don’t laugh, it’s true. There’s a chapter in the Poletti encyclopedia that talks about it.

Oh well, then... if you say inventors... and not innovators, I think we won't really get along (what a surprise). Don't be so sure that all the hot air you fill your mouth with is pure gold. In reality, there are plenty of musicians who have been innovators (the term inventors in music doesn't exist. In music, there are always influences that allow you to innovate, not invent) just like those you've mentioned. For example, I doubt that without the presence of Stravinsky (quite strong even in experimental modern music) progressive would have been the same as we see it today. Syd Barrett innovated, he didn't invent. Since the foundations of psychedelia had already been laid. But if you want to make people believe that music moves forward with rabbits pulled out of a hat, you can believe that. It's your legitimate opinion. Absolutely superficial and reductive.

Barrett, Eno, Zappa. Sorry, just these?

Beautiful review. I know them and I have seen them several times in their role as Marco Paolini's companions. The only flaw in the review: the temporal placement of the album is not clear.

Pretazzo, grunge and Faith No More are two different things. Don't let yourself be influenced by the sound nonsense written on Ondarock.

Album of the year is a record I like, but it doesn't blow me away. Because Faith No More could have done a lot more with that album. Plus, you can really feel the absence of a serious guitar sound there. But the others are also more constrained with their instruments. I also don't like how Bordin sounds. In short, to put it plainly: it feels very much like a solo CD by Patton.

Oh really? Then maybe in two years I'll change my mind about flying saucers too...

The keyboards are chilling. Dissonant and with heart-wrenching atmospheres. Perfect in the song. Bottum has always been one of the most valid elements (except in album of the year, a bit lacking for keyboards, where I don't understand what the hell happened to him).

On Crossover, I'll tell you: it's true that Mr. Bungle is the ultimate crossover, but they have taken this concept too far. In fact, I prefer Faith because their songs are musically more coherent. It's hard to explain what I mean, but let's say that Faith managed to blend things together seamlessly. Mr. Bungle, on the other hand, sometimes gives me the impression of having glued things together.
