Building on the brilliant idea of @[Martello], I’d like to pay a sort of "tribute" to a great artist like Pino Daniele, namely a ranking of his albums (stopping at Mascalzone Latino from 1989) from worst to best...
No. 4: "Bella 'Mbriana" (1982)
Everything has already been said about this album - and about everything else - so I won't dwell too much. For many, it’s the absolute peak; for others, it's the beginning of the end (!?!?!?); and for others, like me, it’s somewhere in the middle. A great record, of course, perfectly played: probably his most "international" album of the entire discography, it's definitely the one that musically soars the highest, but as far as I'm concerned, I find it slightly less inspired than the three previous masterpieces—just SLIGHTLY—though it still contains what I believe is one of his top 5 (maybe even top 3) greatest masterpieces.
Overall rating 9
The masterpiece of the album: Tutta n'ata storia (2017 Remaster)
