Rating: If monotony had the appearance of a woman in heat, she would definitely have relations with BRMC, because the second attempt by the American trio, after their good debut in 2002, already sounds old and outdated from the first listen, where the children of the wild "Marlon Brando", despite so much pseudo energy and passion, end up following the same patterns.
If at first, the single "Stop" seems to excite with the nice riff, after a couple of listens, it seems predictable and monotonous, like "Six barrel shotgun", practically identical to "Whatever happened to my rock'n roll", the very first single of the band, present on the debut album. Just sing along to notice it. Acid guitars, distorted bass, and post-grunge atmospheres are not enough to captivate the new rock devotees, lacking in dynamism and creativity.
The best moments appear to be the ones with ample breathing space, where the psychedelic component emerges, but the more "driven" tracks seem too self-similar. "In like the rose" and "Suddenly", the most solid moments, are not enough to justify the purchase of a flat record, further supported by melodic parts and static and heavy vocals.
A mediocre record, and even if the Stones shout "It's only rock'n roll and I like it", I reply this time "I don't like it". Despite all the advertising they have, there is better in Italy, just look around.

06 Generation (05:01)
"I don't feel at home in this generation
The ones without a need they ain't got a reason
I've been feeling alone in this generation
I've had a realization
No one really listens nothing's really there
I'm choosing sides
I'm keeping up with you and your invasion eyes
You got the world in a coma
You put the knife in our back and no one even cares
I've been feeling alone in this generation
I ain't found the need I ain't found the reason
I got nowhere to go in this generation
You're ready to take them on
You're ready to take them on
You're ready to take it
I've had a realization
Don't tell me to listen nothing's ever there
I'm choosing sides
I'm keeping up with you and your invasion eyes
You got the world in a coma and the trick bag
You put the knife in our back and no one even cares
I think I've had enough of this generation
Ain't you bad enough
I think I had enough of this generation
The ones without a need they ain't got a reason
I don't feel at home in this generation
You're ready to take them on
You're ready to take them on
You're ready to take it
I've had a realization
No one really listens nothing's really there
I'm choosing sides
I'm keeping up with you and your invasion eyes
You got the world in a coma
You put the knife in our back and no one even cares
Ain't you had enough
I've had enough
Don't fuck with me
Don't fuck with me
Don't fuck with me
Don't fuck with me
09 And I'm Aching (03:52)
I can't wait for long my darling all I have to keep me strong
All I have will go, all I have will go
And I move on, and I move on
And I am aching, and I'm aching
I can't wait for long I'm sorry, all I have has left me gone
I can't stay for long I'm sorry, all that's left kept me strong
And I move on, and I move on
And I am aching, and I'm aching
And I move on
10 Suddenly (04:56)
I am so high
I can't get back
I'm waiting
For what comes next
You can't live
This life for me
But I can't, you have control
I can't last
Tonight turns to day
I can't find
The words to say
It all stops
When kingdom comes
I can't ?????
Suddenly
I was free
You left me without anything
Suddenly
I was free
You shot me in front of everything
Now your all I need
Blue shadows behind your eyes
I wonder who you disguise
Through windows behind the sky
I wonder who you will find
I'm so tired
I can't get back
I'm walking to still come back
With something that I have loved
Well I can't, you have control
Suddenly
I was free
You left me without anything
Suddenly
I was free
You shot me in front of everything
Now your all I see
Blue shadows behind your eyes
I wonder who you disguise
Through windows behind the sky
I wonder who you will find

The sound is the same, the grit is superior, the choruses are memorable - that’s what rock ’n’ roll is made of.
I don’t know, Psychocandy. This album will sell a lot, and for once it’s right that way.
By devotchka
They play a kind of dark garage, a little sick, called 'shoegazer'.
Songs that meld into the ears, sick if not incomprehensible lyrics, all driven by ringing guitars, dominant bass, and the power of despair.
