Dhorasoo was not a dud, definitely better than the current Ambrosini and the Pirlo from the beginning of the season, but since he doesn’t go by the name Dorantin born in Novara, he was benched. The lion owes part of its 7 consecutive titles to him as well. Gourcuff is also a dud, we are seeing that...

@ Tomgil: your 2 examples, Kaka's brother and Gaddafi's son, are exactly the picture of the situation: 2 privileged individuals can't necessarily be 2 football players! Van Der Vaart was discovered while playing in a parking lot in Amsterdam...

Absolutely SUBJECTIVE point of view. One tends to see what one wants to see. Ibrahimovic arrives in Spain, scores his 16 goals but misses another 62, marked as half a flop at Camp Nou, returns to Italy and plays well again. Fabio Grosso, after good performances in Milan and especially in Perugia a few years ago, goes to Ligue 1 to make the French chickens laugh (and still is)... I believe everything depends exclusively on two factors: the actual quality of the player, and the league in which they play: a David Silva would make waves at Barcelona, now at City he is playing poorly because the Premier doesn't suit his characteristics. I conclude by saying that in 10 years, two clubs in particular (Ajax and Arsenal) have been producing good or even top-level players (Van Der Vaart, Sneijder, Ibra, and now Suarez and Stekelenburg for one, Vieira, Van Persie, Fabregas, and then Wilshere, Walcott for the other) I could go on indefinitely; the truth is that outside our borders, space is given to young talents and smart scouts... it’s normal that if we have incompetent directors we end up with flops like Brechet, Blanchard, and Dugarry marketed as if they were something great... and then look at Udinese instead... I’m not an esthete, but we need to be objective. In Italy, many flops arrive because there’s no EYE for talent. I’ll go watch the Premier; it’s better.

After 4 years, they had to do much, much more.

Vote for the review and the character. @Hetzer: it’s true that he, like others, is profiting from it, but he 'tries' to open minds, because if by chance the book works, a bit like for example a program like "Vieni via con me" worked, well I believe there’s a small chance that at the polls the famous lost votes (that is, those who, not knowing who to vote for, vote for the "biscone" just because it’s being charming and opportunistic) will decrease... let’s believe in it.

Yes Divo, then obviously there’s also a matter of taste; I’m not exactly a fan of the genre (assuming this album has a specific genre), but in my opinion, it’s worth listening to, perhaps while reading some lyrics at the same time ("Left Of Center," "Deserving?" "Beatus," for example).

But how can one say that this album resembles the first? The first!? I don't see ANYTHING in common! They are totally opposite in my opinion! There's no aggression here, this is a Pop record, ten times inferior to "The Black Parade" and absolutely different from the past, a terrible return for the Chemicals, with very little to save, and a review that honestly, no matter how biased it may be, I really don't understand... "potentissima Destroya..." is one of the least pop tracks on the album, but potentissima for real, I don’t know.

If you’re referring to Mezmerize and Hypnotize, I can agree with you on that; I consider "Elect the Dead" to be superior.

Damn, Doc!!!! While I'm listening to this Greatest, I'm getting emotional reading these two lines of review after all these years!!!

@Divodark: But give it a listen, even in your spare time...
