Io Ho Il Pene Banned

On this album, there are probably the songs that stimulate me the most from this band, I’m talking about things like "Love Her Madly," the title track, the John Lee Hooker cover, "Been Down So Long," and of course "Riders on the Storm." I don’t know, there’s an atmosphere in here that I haven’t found in the other albums of the band... an atmosphere that’s not necessarily dark, I would say a mournful serenity, even if I don’t know what the hell that means. Only Jehovah knows how many liters of sambuca, albelour, bourbon, Chivas, 4 Roses, and Cragganmore I’ve downed while listening to this album. Probably, if I had dedicated myself to gardening or embroidery instead of these respectable activities, I would definitely be enjoying better (mental and physical) health right now.

what nonsense, it's clear you haven't listened to the aforementioned albums....rotfl how ridiculous to say such silly things

NO THANK YOU

I really like their Microgravity for the attempt to blend ambient, house, and techno, the cornerstone of this genre; I still need to explore the rest.

this album is a true masterpiece, the high point of the galas in my opinion, the 2 that close saint of the pit (artimis and cris d'aveugle) literally give you chills, incredibly high chants of ceremonies on the border between the bible and esotericism

Well, before judging it, I would wait for a few more listens. Their music is becoming increasingly abstract and ambient with each release, and for this reason, it's becoming harder to digest in half an hour as some insipid critics do for a living, always eager to contribute by leaving their slimy trail right away, sometimes without even reflecting, and the album hasn't even been released yet. I remember back in the days of Talkie Walkie, the usual critics down there saying they were finished, and yet, 2-3 years later, that album seems quite successful in the eyes of many.

I agree when you say that this record foreshadows what will become of Western society in the near future (we're talking about '67). If we pay attention, for example, "Lady Godiva" narrates a sex change operation, and our minds can only go to the numerous plastic surgeries of today. The piece truly oozes chemical and silicone implants with those horrible voices of Cale and Reed, and then there's "Sister Ray," a Dionysian orgy of drugged-up transvestites, echoing today's parties in showbiz and high society. Thank you, John, thank you, Maureen, thank you, Lou, thank you, Sterling. Having freed themselves from Warhol's tidy dandy image, in my opinion, this record dares more than its predecessor and ultimately possesses a gram more value than the banana. I believe it has been more seminal than the banana for the music to come.

The Crazy Horse at their peak, for sure, but I would have included more songs on this album; I don't think the performance was all there, a real shame with such a sound. Let's wait for them to pull out the rest from those magical archives; I'm already drooling.

*look, I can bring you millions of examples of songs.....etc* (Tano)
You can bring them, Mr. Notaro, go ahead. LOL

"I would like to ask 'I have a penis' what they think of the following words by Johannes Brahms: 'It's not difficult to compose, but it's incredibly difficult to eliminate the superfluous notes.'
I believe the subject of the discussion that arose is not Brahms (who, by the way, is one of my favorite composers), but a rock band. Now we need to see how we want this rock; going by subtraction is what Erik Satie did, going by subtraction is what Carmelo Bene did in the music related to his way of doing theater. But here we must not lose sight of the fact that we are facing RATM with all due respect. If we go by subtraction and remove the more elaborate riffs to keep just one, and if they are perhaps used as a leitmotif for an entire career (just listen to the Battle of Los Angeles, an epigone of past works), if we eliminate creativity under the pretext that the metrics of rap do not match well with an oblique rock harmonic fabric (and this is true, just ask any MC), what remains?? What remains is a trivial crossover, whereas the crossover of Jane's Addiction, to name one, was miles more imaginative, bolder, and more schizoid than that of RATM. And I'm only talking about the funk component of both bands before you respond that we shouldn't compare Jane's Addiction and RATM."
