A team of seasoned musicians interested in spreading the word of good music but in a more personal way, smoothly overlooking the poetic aspect which had defined the sound of a band that managed to be unique as long as Jim Morrison embodied the role of sole declaimer.

 With the definitive dissolution of that spiritual essence... one of the four sides that had made the musical geometry of a band perfect... was missing.

Following Jim Morrison's death, The Doors continued with new members and released 'Full Circle.' The album mixes rock, soul, psychedelia, and jazz, but lacks the poetic essence Morrison brought. Despite skilled musicianship and engaging tracks, the album feels honest yet somewhat misplaced in the band’s discography, marking an end to the original spirit of The Doors. Discover the evolution of The Doors in their final chapter—listen to 'Full Circle' and experience their musical journey beyond Jim Morrison.

 The elixir is the journey into the unknown, the challenge to what is unknown, always holding your head high despite the total inability to understand what will be.

 Here lies everything, or almost everything, of the professor, and if you like this type of approach, where the entire output of an artist is encapsulated in an LP or a track, here I could almost say that there’s a track that is ‘the’ track, the one where all of Vecchioni is present, all his artistic strength and poetic gentleness, namely ‘Figlia.’

 The exceptional vocal texture and the splendid blues attitude of the poorly dressed frontman would manage to give a rock dignity even to a possible Abba cover.

 An album of old seventies rock blues, simple but made superb by the great attitude of the performers, all four of them indiscriminately, or almost (there’s only one Rodgers in the world, God bless him).

Burnin’ Sky, Bad Company’s fourth album released in 1977, remains a strong example of classic 70s rock blues. The album showcases Paul Rodgers' exceptional vocals, Mick Ralphs' skillful guitar work, and the solid rhythm section of Simon Kirke and Boz Burrell.

 "The ship is ready, the crew is already on board, there is no more waiting to set off toward a destination that does not exist, an island that hasn’t been found, and that will never be found."

 "The existentialism of 'The Hill' greatly influences my high regard for the album, capturing the elusive passage of time and human uncertainty."

Francesco Guccini's 1970 album 'L'isola non trovata' marks a pivotal moment in his career, embracing themes of time, existential unease, and the endless search for meaning. The album features a strong side A with standout tracks like the title track and 'Another Day Has Gone,' while side B is more uneven but still compelling.

 The idea doesn’t excite me, and the album compilation feels forced.

 'Lager' stands out for its word choice, sensitivity, and bitter anger.

This review assesses Francesco Guccini's 1981 album Metropolis as a weaker entry in his discography, positioned between two stronger works. The concept tying the album together is seen as lackluster and less compelling than his usual songwriting. While some tracks like 'Lager,' 'Bisanzio,' and 'Bologna' stand out, the album overall feels like a forced compilation. The reviewer expresses limited personal connection with the album's urban themes. Explore Francesco Guccini's Metropolis to decide if this reflective album fits your taste in thoughtful Italian songwriting.

 A film that could have been clever, dynamic, and somewhat unique suddenly turned into a jumble of poorly resolved 'good intentions.'

 A 'mediocre' film, I would say sweetish and covered with sappy and sticky sugariness that you can't get rid of even by washing your hands with Viakal.

The reviewer found Ben Stiller's 'Walter Mitty' disappointing despite its beautiful locations. The film suffers from weak direction, slow pacing, and clichéd themes. While some dream sequences add minor interest, the overall experience was dull and frustrating. The ending was deemed banal and unconvincing. Discover why Walter Mitty falls short despite its stunning visuals—read the full review and decide for yourself!

 Hollywood does not know (anymore?) how to make monster movies.

 One of the film’s major flaws is the absurd insistence on the deeds of the military, in this case stupid, careless, and idiotic as never before.

This review critically examines Gareth Edwards' 2014 Godzilla reboot, highlighting a confusing plot, ineffective military depiction, and overly dark CGI scenes. Despite some well-made monster effects and brief thrilling moments, the film falls short due to its pacing, screenplay, and failure to capture the spirit of classic monster movies. The reviewer suggests that simpler storytelling and better use of monster battles could improve future films in the genre. Discover why Godzilla 2014 fails as a monster movie—read the full review and decide if it’s worth your time!

 Jeremy Bolm imitating Matt Beringer’s voice! It would seem absurd but they really did it, they sang for us who were under the stage "Available".
