When having prejudices is a bad thing, there are times when it is necessary to get rid of them. However, it can happen that those are the times when, after listening to this or that artist, you realize either how disgusting they are to you or how much you like them. It doesn't just happen to me.
Everything started while browsing a forum about my school, where a friend of mine, who later became my classmate, was also present. So, when he talked about this band, I got quite curious. But as soon as I started reading the lyrics before listening to the songs, a certain sense of pessimism overwhelmed me. Until the day came when I listened to all the songs. On first listen, I was moving and jumping like someone possessed, as is typical of grindcore, but after a few listens (it didn't take long) I came to a definitive conclusion: "Misantropo A Senso Unico" in my opinion is like a chicken coop ladder: short (less than 30 minutes) and full of sh*t, it only helped me understand how quickly I can get tired of a certain type of musical genre, too extreme for my ears to consider it acceptable (now you'll tell me "yes, but what about Slayer? They're extreme too and yet you said you like three of their albums," well, I'll answer that they're definitely much less extreme than these Cripple in my opinion)...
But it’s better to describe the tracks, otherwise I'd digress too much.
The CD starts with the title track, which already lets us understand how the world is according to Giulio The Bastard and his associates, "A number, a uniform, a shitty job / that's fine for you because you're just that"...that what? Maybe the crap?
Next is "Non Servire A Niente (E' La Tua Sorte)", which at first I thought was good, but over time I realized how the quality of this piece fits with jam and pasta. Although, if directed at someone who wished us dead for no reason, it might work ("It's your fate / to be good for nothing").
I skip commenting on "Il Sentimento Non E' Amore", I'll leave them to you. Not to mention "No to the solution when you are the problem", a part that, thank heavens, I never sang again in my life for how happy I am to have reevaluated it along with the entire "Morte Da Tossico".
The trilogy "Rapporto Interrotto", "Nascere Per Violentarsi", "La Repulsione Negli Occhi" is simply excellent as a purge for constipation. Try it, it's for your own good!
"Sbocco Nichilista"...but what kind of outlet, to me it seems like Giulio is vomiting...and poorly at that!
The following track, whose title I won't mention because of how disgusting it is to me, rightfully earns the title of one of the worst songs of the last 10 years, and at the risk of getting killed, I say without a filter that for me it is at the level of a "Happy Hour" by Ligabue, a "Raffaella è Mia" by Tiziano Ferro, or a "Kamasutra" by Paola e Chiara.
"Il Tuo Amico Morto" is the only truly salvageable song on the album, maybe because in its composition (a dialogue between a guy who sliced his friend and the friend of that friend) it manages to be convincing in making us understand that doing certain things without reason only brings us guilt feelings.
"FEMMINISTA DI ME**A" is the audible exclamation in "Quasi Donna...Femminista"...your comments, I'm really unable to write my disdain.
"Sogno Un Mondo Senza...", ditto.
"Peso Inutile"...no comment, to me it’s the song itself that's a useless weight...
What can I say about "Il Grande Silenzio" and "Conclusione"?
The CD ends with "94x Flashback Di Massacro", none of these short tracks are nice... aside from the last one that features clips of old thriller/horror...
The booklet is certainly good for those who love certain provocations, all others should abstain and watch a good horror movie which is much better! Insult me if you must, but in short this work seems to me a REHASHED AND REPETITIVE use of the usual "die jerk", "croak", "f*ck you piece of trash". And I don't give a damn if they're fascists, communists, Nazis or who knows what, it doesn't change anything about my PERSONAL judgment. Those who love a certain type of hardcore punk will find something for them in this album, all others might as well throw it away.
P.S.: I know, there were already two reviews, but there aren't always positive opinions on certain things!

There are few albums that have marked my life like this one by Cripple Bastards.
It seemed as if someone had expressed in music everything I thought about life.

Without any doubt, it remains one of the most aggressive platters in the world.
Giulio The Bastard has the most aggressive voice on the face of the earth, and only he could have come up with this album.
