 Gotthard... let’s clarify right away that I started listening to them out of curiosity, a good word from friends, perhaps also due to this musically exotic origin.

 Beautiful album, therefore; excellent performers and a nation that (rightly) venerates them.

Gotthard's 2005 album Lipservice marks a return to energetic hard rock while maintaining melodic ballads. The reviewer appreciates the band's performance and songwriting, highlighting standout tracks and their strong live presence. Despite unfamiliarity, the album impresses with professionalism and passion. This Swiss band is celebrated domestically but less known internationally. Listen to Gotthard’s Lipservice and experience powerful Swiss hard rock with unforgettable melodies!

 The structure remains complex, the quality is inevitably sublime, and the sound solutions are always the trademark.

 "Old & Wise" is finally a pearl, crowning a successful work: Colin Blunstone performs one of the most beautiful and sweetest ballads of the Project.

This review praises The Alan Parsons Project's 1982 album Eye In The Sky as a refined blend of progressive rock complexity and 1980s musical evolution.

 "Going back to the real concerts, number 2, however qualitative, as a whole fails to captivate like its predecessor."

 "Le Roi Soleil...may remind of Queen's ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ with its central section of pure madness."

New Trolls’ Concerto Grosso No. 2, released in 1974, builds on the success of their iconic first album but struggles to fully recapture its magic. While the three-movement concerto showcases moments of quality and masterful instrumentation, some filler tracks reveal a less focused direction. Despite this, it remains an enjoyable progressive rock-classical fusion work with notable highlights like "Most Dear Lady" and "Le Roi Soleil." Fans of the genre are encouraged to experience it alongside its celebrated predecessor. Listen to New Trolls' Concerto Grosso No. 2 and discover the intriguing blend of rock and classical music in this progressive masterpiece.

 They were among the symbols of an era, the '70s, the kids around the bonfires on the beach singing you’re the dancing queen.

 There aren’t just sappy songs, but also beautiful ballads like the delicate 'I Have A Dream', or even nice dancy tunes, like 'Take A Chance On Me' and 'Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!'

 "Sestri Levante" is, in my opinion, the pearl of the album: a delicate yet determined ballad, excellently arranged.

The album is highlighted for its diverse instrumentation and emotional depth, featuring themes of love, nostalgia, and urban life.

 "La Torre Di Babele first catches the eye with its original graphic design, straddling the past and the future."

Edoardo Bennato's 1976 album La Torre Di Babele blends rock, irony, and allegory to explore themes of freedom, division, and political oppression. The album artwork complements its thematic depth. While some tracks are less memorable, highlights like 'Franz è il mio nome' and ‘Venderò’ showcase Bennato’s unique artistry.

 I conclude by recommending this work to those who love progressive, because it is a work worthy of one of the best interpreters of that golden era of music.

Rick Wakeman’s 1975 album ‘The Myths And Legends Of King Arthur And The Knights Of The Round Table’ is a standout progressive rock work.
