Rating: CRIMINAL PARTY – LA REVOLUTION BOURGEOISE
(Downbeat & Pink House Label)
The Criminal Party returns to the scene with "La Revolution Bourgeoise."
The veterans of Italian garage-punk express their idea about the crisis that has affected modern society by juxtaposing it with the image of the French Revolution.
"Compared to the past, where generally the working class bore the brunt, it is now clearer than ever that we are also faced with a weakened and impoverished bourgeois class, in full crisis, no longer able to hold the fundamental role in modern society, a role it has had since the beginning of the so-called modern era, right after the French Revolution.
This is the reason for the title: 'La revolution bourgeoise.'
The sounds proposed on the record are the usual ones, very garage and punk, now expertly handled by the band, with the addition of some well-executed pop brackets, as demonstrated by "What About You," the first single from the album.

Music with a capital "M" is not made with 4 rhetorical words lined up, with 2 electronic rhythms.
It’s an album that, when played in the car, will keep you wide awake and accompany you anywhere.

The guitars are always present, pure even when distorted, harmonious and full, and the drums are truly played at top levels.
Some tracks seem recorded in a garage, hitting their emulation target; others are too clean, seeming a bit fake.
