Shameful review... Just like the one for Taproot, by the way! But are they really reviews? I have my doubts.

But come on, right Piero... Piero is washed up... Ghigo is too, for heaven's sake, but Piero has become a sideshow. This album is GARBAGE! His lyrics are pathetic, light-years away from poems like Prima Guardia. His skills as a writer and singer... Ha ha! The only thing that stops me from spitting on him every time I see his picture is the affection I have for Litfiba and what he did with them!

In my opinion, there’s very little stoner in this album. Maybe in the first one, yes, you could feel the stoner influence of Kyuss, but much less so in this one. Go with the flow, No one knows, First it giveth have nothing stoner.

I don't know the album, I've never delved into rap and hip hop. However, the review is well-written. I must admit you have some style.

The usual... Did you really have to do it to "shit on our idols"?! Do you mean to say that those who listen to 90s rock are all idiots?! Your writing absolutely drips with the desire to make people who consider the debut of RATM, Mellon Collie, and other essential albums of the 90s feel like crap. Which, with all due respect, is pathetic and pointless. Great though "Kind Of Blue"...

It's true, it's a pompous album and sometimes excessively melodramatic. The arrangements often clash, sometimes being too polished and fussy, other times too raw and occasionally even annoying (like in Love and Tales of a Scorched Heart); the tracks aren't all on the same level (I mean, there are 28 in total!), but what can we say about songs like Bullet With Butterfly Wings and Thru The Eyes Of Ruby? I really don't hear anything AOR in them. And I think it's not entirely wrong to call them grunge; it might be reductive, but they do share some common points with grunge, even in their sounds: it doesn’t seem entirely coincidental that they participated in the soundtrack for the film Singles and released a 45 RPM for Sub Pop. They may be small details, but added together they can carry weight.

But come on! I have to hear this too! You might not like the album, and there's nothing to argue about that. But how can you say that Corgan has never had problems and that his lyrics are fake? His childhood wasn't much better than those of various Cobain, Vedder, Staley, and so on. Maybe it's true that over time his tendency to complain has become exhausting and self-referential (but he's not the only one), but to cover him in shit by saying nonsensical things like "Corgan, who notoriously has never had problems other than how to invest his squandered dollars or how to treat his hemorrhoids, what the hell does he have to complain about??? And his lyrics clearly demonstrate such falsehood, being of absolute banality" shows that the real fake is you! Notoriously, Corgan had to face his parents' divorce, had a difficult relationship with his stepmother, and had to take care of a disabled brother (read the lyrics of Spaceboy from Siamese Dream): don’t you think these are problems?!

Sorry, I wanted to give 3 to both and I accidentally gave 2. I'll give 4 so it averages out.

Not a bad album, but nothing compared to Siamese Dream. In my opinion, 5 stars are too many.

Either you took a powerful hallucinogen before writing, or you are illiterate. Not even a second grader would write such a mess!
