I am surprised and disgusted by how sometimes famous names are attacked using clichéd phrases and adopting the self-serving attitude of the seasoned critic.
Similarly, I remember when they attacked Michelangeli at a certain point. It seems that some people are just waiting for a true or suspected moment of weakness from great artists... in fact, they even hope for it, so they can fire false rounds, though not blanks.
Battiato's album is extraordinary.
It features some absolutely astonishing 'hits' of themes and tones, even though we’re talking about an artist who has always been almost expected to surprise.
Now we all can write whatever we want, but I believe it would be interesting for those who wield the pen to do a little soul-searching before spewing nonsense.
