Ah, I really like these kids. They are different, well, in their ways: more colorful. And then there are the girls, we sing together... Good job, original even!

I never said it was planned. However, it cannot be denied that, whether on purpose or not, Dylan's last name and face were very marketable. His music wasn’t pop but ROOTTETTO, meaning derivative of root, but not of the astromegagalactic quality of Buckley Jr. Both had evergreen songwriting, but Jeff is and Jakob isn’t, and I don’t think it’s just because the former is dead and the latter isn’t. In comparison to his father, he falls short, but I acknowledge his courage in comparing himself, in trying. The review of Bringing Down The Horse is ready (in respect of my prerogative to review entire discographies) and will be posted shortly. Thank you all for the comments, the readings, the ratings.

In my opinion, you are struck: life in this world is a wonderful becoming.

In my opinion, being wordy is not a problem: I have been too (and for a long time), with the track by track, for quite a while, and even today I tend to ramble more than average. (Interestingly, when I write concise reviews, the Debaser community gives me slightly lower ratings). The issue, in my view, is not how long you are or how short: the problem is how interesting you are. There are long reviews that you read in one go and there are telegram-style reviews that you abandon at the first line. And then, I understand that you want to clarify all the things that haven’t been said about this album, but for that, there are comments: you could have gone to comment on other people’s reviews, right?

In our place, we say "Stampare." And asking for sick leave at work is called "Appizzare." See how you never really grow up? You go from school to work and still have the impression that things are the same. Then there's a classmate of mine who never stamped in school; now he’s with me at work and always appizza. If things change, it's to go back to being kids ;) A three for this record fits perfectly.

So, will you also review Emoh? It's an album I'm very attached to. I don't know this one well, so it's time to dig deeper. Marinetti would say you've been lllllanguid.

I have all their albums and personally, although I’m pretty much tired of their over-the-top pop nonsense with all possible and imaginable guitar parts, I haven’t managed to listen to "Road to Rouen" twice: mature, they used to say. And precisely for this reason, I couldn’t listen to it: I want Supergrass to be silly, or at least I want them to deliver the hard-hitting tracks like "Richard III".

I have the impression that you can change your writing style with every review. If that’s the case, well done. I really like this new solution (which I'm sure was specifically designed for the compilations) of the telegraphic track2track. My reviews, on the other hand, are all the same :(
