Notable Quotes

❝ Three absolutely not bad albums where the debut, dated 1995, acquires the title of a great gem of their career.

❝ If a good album should be able to awaken obsessions believed to be dormant or (if necessary) create new ones, then this Valentino fits the profile: it insinuates itself into the folds of the heart, perhaps never to leave.
