Best artist of 2010 secondo DeBaser.

❝ Unforgettable album.

❝ This little gem, easy to listen to yet very classy, encloses 18 minutes of authentic and emotional music.

❝ Be that as it may, my compliments to the minstrels of Oregon. Rating 4.8

❝ Recorded in just a few days and with a budget of only four hundred dollars, Valley of Rain is a brilliant and jagged melting pot of post-punk, garage rock, country, and blues.

❝ And so, "desert rock" it is.

❝ Swerve: deviation.

❝ Nothing. Nothing. Nothing new. Nothing new here, just nostalgia. So much, so much nostalgia.

❝ "It's challenging,but there's nothing wrong with challenging your audience. It shows respect, rather than putting out the same shit every year."

❝ "I'm still a mod, I'll always be a mod, you can bury me a mod".

❝ Music in praise of dreams, to detach from the earth and remain suspended in space and time.

❝ Anyone intent on categorizing an artist into a genre will have a tough time with Jan Garbarek, because the Norwegian saxophonist encapsulates world music, jazz, new age, Nordic folk, and even electronic music, and surely there's some other genre that has influenced him.

❝ A few steps from Paradise...

❝ Santana is sweat, it is eroticism, it is shaking your ass to the relentless rhythm even if you're at a funeral.

❝ So let's confidently be guided by our expert shaman and embark on this adventure called "Caravanserai."

❝ This album should be listened to with company, because it must be danced to.

❝ Everything is accomplished: the sixteenth birth of the famous Iron Maiden has already started to whisper its occult rituals in the eardrums of all of us.

❝ They play like gods, there’s not much to add.

❝ A year lived dangerously, at the limits of human musical possibilities, and ending in Los Angeles after touching Japan, Brazil, Hawaii, and Australia.

❝ “It's like when you light the zarsa, you feel it burn a bit in your mouth but the taste is so good.”

❝ “Dan Auerbach, the redhead, and Patrick Carney, the nerd.”

❝ “There is no heart or soul; in Let's rock, there are few ideas, banal and stale riffs, no potential hits, just lots and lots and looooooots of boooooooring boredom.”

❝ Brad Mehldau. A genius.

❝ “Romanticism implies nostalgia for damaged goods. Music is heightened nostalgia” B.Mehldau.

❝ Traditional jazz lovers, beware, shoo, away!

❝ Funeral is a paradox. It should express absence, loss, discouragement. Instead, it sounds so euphoric and life-affirming that it's impossible not to have your ears sucked in by the "alien" voice of frontman Win Butler and that of his wife Régine Chassagne

❝ Arcade Fire SUCCEEDED!!

❝ It's difficult to compare with "Funeral," which remains a benchmark for music of these years.

❝ Lostboy = Lost Boy?

❝ The ultimate indie anthem. This is the most appropriate definition for this track.

❝ A great album, this "Little Dark Age"; a full relaunch of the American duo, and what English speakers would call a "return to form" in every respect.

❝ For a career made of so many ups and downs, MGMT’s music is extraordinarily normal.

❝ The narrative plot stripped down, streamlined, and summarized: Android 57821 aka Cindy Mayweather, that is, Janelle, has the task of liberating Metropolis from the Great Divide, a dark force dedicated to suppressing freedom and love, against a backdrop borrowed directly from Fritz Lang's Metropolis.

❝ The ArchAndroid is probably the richest and densest sound cauldron of recent years, a nearly perfect blend of tones, moods, flavors, inspirations, and suggestions.

❝ In short, what we have on our hands is a remarkable album, a worthy successor to “The Archandroid” and a candidate for the title of neo-soul milestone.

❝ Bryan Ferry, master of sensuality, camaraderie, elegance, sex, and musical eroticism.

❝ That record was perhaps not a masterpiece, more likely it was a perfect tool: a jewel of English pop, beautiful and useful.

❝ In short, a record that will not revolutionize music but demonstrates how an aging wolf is still able to bite and how the experience of a veteran can give style lessons to many young upstarts roaming around today.

❝ "Phosphene Dream" is a tormented and lysergic high, a psych'n'roll through desert hallucinations that traverse the well-trodden ground halfway between the psychedelia of compatriots 13th Floor Elevators and the paranoid and decadent style of Velvet Underground.

❝ What comes out of the speakers is more than an Easter, it is an epiphany. An epiphany of fascinating 60s acid residues.

❝ Directions To See A Ghost is a magnetic, carcinogenic, and "dangerous" album. A wicked thought that fades the rainbow, a wicked snake in the grass.

❝ She is very young and already a promise of jazz.

❝ He plays jazz. He plays the double bass. He sings divinely. He has a good appearance.

❝ 13 Blues For Thirteen Moons is truly a work of sublime human desolation, perfectly marking the difficult moment we are living in...

❝ This music is not a pastime, but a violent punch to the stomach, strong enough to make you cry and spit blood.

❝ Fuck Off Get Free We Pour Light On Everything is the band's seventh album in fourteen years, and it is the most violent, the loudest, the most vocal, and also the most direct.

❝ "The swans have returned."

❝ "We need a dream to escape."

❝ "This is one of the truest works you’ll ever hear, whether you like it or not."

❝ Understanding, knowing, and appreciating this album is like getting to know a person: you cannot skip the steps, you need time, to wait for things to settle, silence.

❝ Several friends, to whom I played this album, said to me, "Beautiful, but take it off because it gives me anxiety!"

❝ "Massimo Volume" represented in the '90s, along with other groups such as Afterhours, C.S.I., Marlene Kuntz, the new Italian rock, strongly characterizing and influencing our local music scene.

❝ It’s one hell of an album!

❝ At first listen, it is amazing, engaging, powerful.

❝ There are no words to describe what I believe is and will remain the best album of the year.

❝ But it's still elevator music.

❝ An album with monstrous additive capabilities, born from a 360° vision of today's psychedelia married to an enviable "pop" writing. Chapeau!

❝ But in the four and a half minutes of the single "Lucidity", Tame Impala achieves this precious distinction, perfect for putting on infinite repeat in your stereo headphones and waiting for something to grow.

❝ Forgiveness Rock Record is the Pantone catalog of serenity, rarely disturbed, and in a certain sense erected to a state of consciousness that we should all arm ourselves with, if we don’t want to go crazy.

❝ A great concert, truly. And further confirmation that there is something in Toronto that grows musicians really well.

❝ A beautiful record. Truly beautiful.

❝ Varied, versatile, inspired, and original, "Goodbye Country (Hello Nightclub)" gets off to a good start even from the title.

❝ Groove Armada has in the past created guidelines for genres like house and chill-out (quite an odious name) always with style and elegance, and as with every work by the duo, here again, they are clearly distinguished into two main streams: Uptempo and Downtempo which, however, never merge into a single track as a fusion but remain separate, running parallel in opposite directions.

❝ Unmissable, for aficionados and not.

❝ How much I adored that refined touch, that artistic elegance, and the style always precise and impeccable.

❝ The true gem of this album remains "Tears In Heaven" – inspired by the tragic passing of his little son – and a timeless hit.

❝ If Southern Rock didn’t die with Lynyrd Skynyrd’s 'Sweet Home Alabama' or the Allman Brothers Band's 'Jessica,' it’s precisely thanks to “Shake Your Money Maker,” the debut of the Black Crowes dated 1990.

❝ This 2010 double album was the last from the Black Crows for a long time, followed by yet another brawl between the two bosses of the group, namely singer and guitarist brothers Robinson.

❝ Warmth, introspection, feeling, cohesion are adjectives that well describe the current status of the band, which seems to have been reborn after the entry of Luther Dickinson (North Mississippi All Stars) on guitar.

❝ Well, yes, it still happens: you can still get excited, you can still get excited in the year 2010, in the metal scene, for a young band making their debut.

❝ Prédateurs appears as the typical interlocutory album, fascinating in its intentions but with its focus still in need of adjustment:

❝ "The guy is fake!"

❝ "I'm not a preacher but just a singer, boy, and I still see a lot of work to be done."

❝ "When I made this record, the record label didn't like it. They wanted a follow-up to Lonesome Jubilee, they wanted a chart-topping single. But Big Daddy wasn't built that way".

❝ Sensuality and sophistication.

❝ "Baduizm" is the magnificent debut of the equally wonderful Erykah Badu. And I'll say it right away that this album is amazing, so no one can have any doubts.

❝ "New Ameryka Part 2 etc." is easy to drink yet impossible to define: slow-funk? nu-soul? hip hop? chill lounge cosmic jazz for a private club on Mars, next to the one inaugurated 40 years ago by Gong? : eccentric and comfortable, it won't disturb you as long as you want to hear it.

❝ A shocking listen, an innovative and extremely bold album, another reason to accept Gabriel's long-past and completed defection from the Book of Genesis.

❝ what emerged is the absolute masterpiece of Peter Gabriel, a work that goes far beyond its original function as a soundtrack, assuming a deeper meaning, that of authentic sacred music, a term usually understood in a classical sense, associated with solemn organs, majestic chorales, and heavenly solos.

❝ What's wrong if a record sells a lot? Nothing, it would seem.

❝ Now I have my personal sun to light up my day.

❝ The trio’s groove is as deadly as ever, and its sound unmistakable.

❝ John Butler is someone who knows how to play with the slide, and he does it with incredible personality, without ever diving into pure country but navigating within a square with country, pop, blues, and rock as its sides.

❝ What moves the music of These New Puritans is risk.

❝ I'm constantly thinking of our legacy, and how it'll be looked back on in ten years' time. The dream would be for people to still not 'get' what we were trying to do

❝ A fantastic example of musical autonomy, people who don't care much about pleasing others!

❝ “One thing I’ve learned about Johnny Cash is that you don’t tell him what to sing.”

❝ “Hello, I’m Johnny Cash,”

❝ “I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die”

❝ The release of Dialogue (1998) was a revelation, Kieran Hebden aka Four Tet was twenty-one, immediately considered a genius, and today he is defined as the "father" of the glitch or folktronica genre.

❝ The beauty of this circular electronic music is that it lets go.

❝ Synthesis is the key word.

❝ A real hero of the six strings, the Australian Tommy Emmanuel with a fingerpicking mania

❝ the greatest living guitar virtuoso (a silly label, actually, but someone should know that Tommy does with the acoustic what Vai does with the electric, actually, much more...)

❝ a modern-day Paganini of the acoustic guitar.

❝ “Wrong Creatures” is a splendid album, probably the best by BRMC.

❝ It’s only rock'n'roll, but it’s all we want.

❝ The anticipation builds for what will turn out to be one of the best concerts I have ever seen.

❝ “Fading Frontiers” is POP, in the most genuine sense of the term. An accessible and positive album: (for newcomers) the ideal way to immerse yourself in the weirdness of Cox’s world.

❝ Ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space.

❝ If only there were more bands like Deerhunter.

❝ “Fake Empire”, piano, drums, and voice crescendo, is simply a great song.

❝ “I’m just so tired of thinking about everything / I’m not afraid of being alone,”

❝ Essentially a collection of nocturnal laments, 'Sleep Well Beast' is a kind of lullaby that cradles the listener in a comforting scale of grays and soft lights, ultimately making them dream with open eyes while putting that 'beast' we all carry inside us to sleep and that we need to keep at bay to purify our soul.

❝ Now this Black Country Communion comes to life, a supergroup featuring Joe Bonamassa, a global rock blues star at the international level, Derek Sherinian, Dream Theater's keyboardist, Hughes himself on bass and vocals, and Jason Bonham on drums.

❝ It turns out that when listening to these Black Country Communion, the musician who conveys the most interest and admiration to me is by far the drummer Jason Bonham: he's perfect!

❝ “New York, New York…”

❝ The White Hills could metaphorically be flower children, but of black flowers standing out against a purple and unhealthy sky, offering among many an amalgam of Stooges, Electric Wizard, Hawkwind, and Cream:

❝ In short, you can’t say these guys don’t know how to play live.

❝ Ultimately, and without hesitation, already among the albums of the year.

❝ These are Black Mountain, standard-bearers of 21st-century neo-psychedelia. Open applause.

❝ That’s why such a well-done tribute like this “Hawkwind Triad”, serves both as a starting point for newbies and a periodic refresher for enthusiasts.

❝ “Come and play folks, you are welcome here. Sure you can smoke!”

❝ “If it's not broken, don't replace it. Leave it alone.”

❝ “Third World Pyramid is just another record from our band: out of focus, out of time, and out of fashion.”

❝ Entities unclassifiable are the Liars.

❝ They titled their latest album "Drum's Not Dead" and damn it if that drum is alive and kicking.

❝ One of the best releases of 2004: the Liars, a New York trio led by Angus Andrew, leave behind what they had achieved in their first release and in the split with Oneida to amaze us, with a capital A.

❝ Consisting of four tracks, each around 10 minutes long, "Raining Sun..." is progressive in the structure of its tracks, but maintains a heavy guitar appeal and expands everything with space rock effects in the style of Hawkwind and psychedelic rarefactions of the Teutonic school.

❝ “8 is a wild and compact, cyclical album. It has neither beginning nor end, a metaphor for the divine fury that harnesses elements and marks the perpetual cosmic flow of Everything.”

❝ “The band from Tortona offers us a concept album that is certainly not easily assimilated, capable of embracing within original and coherent coordinates all the elements of heavy and more distorted psychedelia.”

❝ “A great album: excellently played and produced by Lorenzo Stecconi (from Lento).”

❝ "Semi-serious music by musicians who only take themselves semi-seriously"

❝ There is no need to make it a mystery: the French Deathspell Omega have become one of the most important black metal realities of recent years.

❝ This is one of the best episodes ever in black metal;

❝ The album aims at nothing and precisely for this reason, it achieves two distinct results: total incomprehension (ergo: disgust) or a slimy, disarming sensation of conscious introspective anguish.

❝

"These guys are criminals."

❝

"The fact remains that these three gentlemen have now returned to being the best power trio around."

❝

"We are the Motorpsycho. Your musical and cultural characteristics will be assimilated. Resistance is futile."

❝ The Desidia are a musical band from Turin, open to various influences: 70s rock, psychedelia, grunge, alternative..., that's how they describe themselves!

❝ In 1998, Desidia turned their backs on English and composed their first CD in Italian: "Gotica e Lunatica," eight tracks full of original atmospheres well defined by scores that transform and vary in intensity and color.

❝ An album that [Like an ocean] envelops you, almost assaults you and then returns you to dry land.

❝ In the beginning was, and still is, the voice of Stuart Murdoch.

❝ This album, completely self-produced, would remain hidden for years (in Italy it would be released only in 1999 - three years after its release in the UK - following the surprising success of "The Boy With The Arab Strap") but contains some of the greatest classics of this group whose name is a tribute to the famous novel by Cecilie D'Aubry.

❝ In short, never has beauty been more found in simplicity. Belle&Sebastian are exactly what was needed!

❝ With "The Courage Of Others", the Texans Midlake attempt to ensure no one misses that masterpiece "The Trials Of Van Occupanther", which caught everyone's attention.

❝ Having abandoned the main road of folk-rock that had made them famous (so to speak!), Midlake heads towards the reassuring psychedelic shores of the '60s/'70s, delivering eleven very suggestive tracks, despite the lack of originality.

❝ The first song "Roscoe" is worth the whole album: keyboards, guitar, and basses almost whisper to make room for a warm and enveloping voice, capable of anesthetizing you.

❝ The genius of Matt Pike has struck again. The third album of his new band, High on Fire, indeed buries everything and everyone... Cavernous, dark, relentless...

❝ before the thunderous Lombardian patterns of 'Spiritual Rites' and the malignant epicness of 'King of Days' purify you of all evils and make you give thanks to our lord Pike.

❝ These epigones of the aforementioned sacred monsters, among whom I would not forget to include Metallica and (why not?) Melvins in their tremendously angrier version if you'll allow me, confirm to be the best evolution that metal has brought in our times.

❝ First, buy the record, it’s essential.

❝ Frank Zappa remains nevertheless one of the greatest Composers of the 20th century. Period.

❝ Sheik is essential; it’s true that the orchestral suites of The Grand Wazoo are a work of art, but Sheik is mandatory; it’s true that Over-nite sensation is a revolution, but Sheik is inevitable.

❝ Have you done more than seven thousand reviews and embarrassingly overlooked "Thriller"?

❝ Thriller is still the best-selling album of all time, with approximately 110 million copies sold, and the number increases every year.

❝ The brand "Michael Jackson" has unfortunately become synonymous with "pedophilia," "bleached skin," "psychopath."

❝ Ok Go is an American band hailing from Chicago and Washington, active since 1998, they released their first album (OK Go) under Major Capitol Records after two EPs.

❝ no one, I mean no one, and I reiterate no one, can claim to listen to Ok Go if they have never seen a video from the group.

❝ -because starting from 'WTF?' (what the f*ck?), there's not a weak track on this album

❝ This CD will cost you 1000 euros if you add the expenses for the psychiatrist.

❝ Violence yes, but in the end, just songs.

❝ ' Do what you want without harming anyone.'

❝ A few months have passed since the beginning of the year, but I can already say I've found one of the breakthrough albums of 2010.

❝ Hallucinogenic-hallucinatory pop, apparently garage, played by a fool, for those who peel things.

❝ I’m inclined to say that Wavves are succeeding where Weezer never did.

❝ It’s a fun and amused album of noisy guitar pop, which sounds like an adolescent microcosm, like the entire Californian punk school (Adolescents first of all), like the best American indie school (Hüsker Dü, Nirvana, Sebadoh, Superchunk, Pavement, Pixies...) and like the late Jay Reatard (Reatards era), of which it carries the baton and rhythm section, a reason why this is no longer a Wavves record, but of the Wavves (Stephen Pope and Billy Hayes write three songs in total).

❝ In the beginning, there was a verb; most likely the verb «to hate»;

❝ soft post-rock infested with abrasive electronics, melodic and languid in its confident advance,

❝ This time God flies low.

❝ The latest creation from the Irish band is the classic "come back" to their sonic origins.

❝ "When silence beckons And the day is closing When the light of your life sighs And love dies in your eyes Only then will I realize What you mean to me"

❝ A once in a lifetime experience that words can barely do justice

❝ Anathema no longer play metal.

❝ 5 stars are not enough.

❝ "With this record we wanted you to feel good about things that make us feel awful". (David Brewis, singer and guitarist of the band).

❝ "44 minutes of future-black-music to be listened to all in one go, preferably standing very close to Mr. Subwoofer"

❝ He manages to create a Titan, forges a Leviathan composed of small indissoluble parts.

❝ An album that offers something unexpected with every new listen.

❝ I won't beat around the bush: "Blue Sky Noise", together with "Recitation" by Envy, is for me the album that most shook this 2010.

❝ They’re back. No, perhaps it’s not exactly them, but a small part of them has survived the melting under the sun of the Maudlin Of The Well and lives again in Kayo Dot.

❝ What’s new? A massive reduction in distortions (...) and the introduction of rhythm, a more delicate sound but sustained by odd times that strongly recall the ’70s King Crimson for sounds and the ’80s for tempos.

❝ the seven songs of “Blue Lambency Downward” (...) give the impression of being pretentious and loaded with presumption (...) not even as “challenging” or inspired as the aura surrounding them might lead one to think.

❝ Tranquility. This is the key word that came to my mind after listening to the second work by Balmorhea.

❝ The Balmorhea start anew from here, from the darkness, from modern-classical.

❝ Music made of details, of hidden sounds that when you discover them, fill you with joy.

❝ Ten are the stones, like the commandments. Our visionary preacher David Eugene Edwards throws his frontier art in our faces, a music that emits a poetic breath of rare intensity.

❝ The distorted bard of Christianity, the Indian of dark country, the shaman of desert folk, the ever-more abrasive composer of a personal and disorienting gothic western.

❝ This album is immense, insanely unsettling, apocalyptic, classic, it's everything you desire in moments of anger.

❝ An American trio for an unholy and unusual blend of drone, electronics, neo-folk, glitch, and black metal.

❝ Defining them as metal is indeed absurd and limiting.

❝ "Return to Annihilation" cannot be explained, it just needs to be listened to: the Locrian have created a metropolitan nightmare capable of regenerating itself every time you listen to the album, a profoundly intense and atmospheric work, transcending the reference genre but unique in the sensations it conveys, an album of "extreme" something that must absolutely not go unnoticed.

❝ I only go to see Alter Bridge... So what? Problems? Something wrong?

❝ Blackbird is a masterpiece of composition, vocals, and storytelling.

❝ If the first album was the revelation and the second the confirmation, the third is the consecration.

❝ “Legalize Drugs & Murder”

❝ “Yet they rock.”

❝ “The first time it's kind of like being hit by a steam train hurtling at enormous speed (20bpm) while you sink into concrete.”

❝ Ritual Spirit is not an album, but rather an EP of four tracks, seventeen minutes long.

❝ In a single word Trip hop, a genre that brings together hip hop with the idea of a mental journey, waves that mesh with an indefatigable groove, environments that recognize and meld into an unexplored universe, an assemblage of diverse genres, all shaped into a sound flow that is ever gentle and aggressive, overwhelming, fascinating and sharp, violent in its voluptuous delicacy.

❝ The line between sweetness and unease is always thin: what attracts us the most often coincides with what scares us the most.

❝

"Steal Your Face" is a wild, feline, seductive album. It does me good.

❝ Cold Spring Fault Less Youth is the record that takes us home after the revelry, when the party is over, it's dawn, and we are now tired of basses, DJs, and neon lights.

❝ I certainly think so, Ariel Pink is to be taken as he is, or left.

❝ If we stripped away the patina of low fidelity that permeates the 23 songs that make up "Grandes Exitos", which is also an integral part of the fascination the whole work exerts on me, we would be faced with tracks that wouldn’t pale in the productions of S. Merrit, B. Eyes, or C. F. T. P. A., albeit with due distinctions and just to mention some similar yet much more celebrated figures.

❝ But I still prefer to define him as an evoker of memories: after many listens you realize that it’s not easy at all to “copy” as he does. And he does it excellently.

❝ Meditation dubstep. Or for decompressing after a rave on the moon. The choice of use is yours.

❝ “Pelagial,” the latest musical creation released by the German band led by the tireless Robin Staps, is a long composition of fifty-three minutes, divided into eleven tracks only for the listener’s convenience.

❝ Heliocentric is this. It is not just a record, but a complex work in which the different band members have poured all their knowledge to craft a cultural piece.

❝ The German band confirms itself as one of the best on the world stage and certainly one of those most poised to restore splendor and vitality to metal in general, increasingly in decline in recent years.

❝ Listening to this album is like dying. Only afterward, you are alive and well.

❝ The album is one of the top not 50 not 20 not 10 but 5 doom albums of all time!

❝ A successful and interesting work, starting from the artwork.

❝ An unmissable metal opera for fans of the genre!

❝ The title track, on the other hand, is a musical bomb.

❝ We are certainly not facing one of the masterpieces of the genre, but The Wicked Symphony remains a good power metal album, one of the best of this 2010.

❝ Fragments is indeed a product of our times, characterized by detachment, reflection, solitude.

❝ the liquid atmosphere felt within the title track with a backdrop of distant melancholic vocal echoes, which features a piano collaboration by Jon Hopkins, is sublime.

❝ The entire album is a journey within different genres and styles, skillfully mixed into a sound that can only be categorized as Bonobo.

❝ Sully Erna, the band's frontman, without any frills and in a very honest way, has announced that “Lighting Up The Sky” will be the “swan song” for the Boston four and will close a quarter-century of prolific music production (nine studio albums and three compilations), to pave the way for life on the road, focusing exclusively on the live dimension.

❝ If you are among those who find distinctly derivative bands a bit hard to digest, then you can stop right here.

❝ Godsmack...Alice In Chains, Faceless...Facelift. The parallel is evident, perhaps a bit too much.

❝ The so-called "Napoletana": a complete anthology of Neapolitan songs from its origins to the twentieth century, 12 LPs now available on CD.

❝ Murolo was among the last passionate and sincere standard-bearers of the Neapolitan nation, of its music and its beautiful language.

❝ The CD is a must-buy, it's an old song but it has a "quel non so che" that gives depth to an important work on the Italian scene, enhanced, I repeat, thanks to Mia Martini's voice... poetry

❝ The Nightwish made a colossal mistake by letting her go.

❝ Notably devoted to the doctrine of certain encrusted sounds, with their musical period between 2007-2013, the Quest for Fire certainly succeed in satisfying a great hunger for psychotropic, fractal, and polychrome music.

❝ Following their self-titled debut album, where monolithic sludge and stoner sounds reigned supreme, the Canadian quartet composed of Chad Ross, Andrew Moszynski (the two former Deadly Snakes), Josh Bauman, and Mike Maxymuik shifts direction with this “Lights From Paradise.”

❝ Take the reckless and energetic flair of the best Bloc Party, add a warm electronic power-pop setup, and frame it all in disco fashion.

❝ Firstly, the guitar is replaced by a harp (!), which is played in a rather unusual way, more like a Folk guitar actually; the effect is very pleasant and spot on.

❝ The Joanna of “Have One On Me” is no longer the whimsical child of “The Milk-Eyed Mender,” and even the incredible suites of “Ys,” with their frantic tempo and chatter, seem a distant memory.

❝ Controversial.

❝ "The Wild Hunt" is indeed a short album, but full of emotions up to the last song.

❝ In conclusion, The Tallest Man On Earth’s change of direction was not drastic but nevertheless noteworthy, and although some tracks fail to express the full potential of the singer-songwriter, the album is still really enjoyable with some truly interesting insights that can only bode well for the future.

❝ The album is very light, but not banal for this reason.

❝ The sound of words so quiet and mellow.
A dead sinking story we can't take back.

❝ Anyway, fantastic album and HIGHLY recommended to everyone.

❝ The beginning of a long journey towards perfection.

❝ There's something about the songs by Perturbazione that stretch something inside you, some mysterious little string or nerve that sits between the back of the eye and the brain... no, wait, it's lower.

❝ As you're leaving, there’s Tommaso coming down from backstage, taking a couple of photos with you and exchanging a few words,and at this point, as he talks to you, you truly understand that to make good music, you don’t need big names; all you need are two guitars, a drum, a bass, a cello, and a bit of poetry...

❝ Boiling it down to the basics: I started my evening with the usual depressed questions about life, the future, and similar, and after the Perturbazione treatment, I found myself smiling, laughing, "stopping to think." And without needing a joint!
