Alright, let's continue. Please, stop us. I feel like a serial killer. Just a bit of logic, nothing more. The White Stripes aren't saying anything new at all, it seems clear from my review. Just as it’s evident that, unlike QOTSA, they try to make albums a bit different from each other. What do Radiohead have to do with it? It’s simply always about great bands; some try to change, others don’t. It’s not a matter of muscles, you’re always there (after all, Brusprinstin docet). The Clash yes, the Ramones no. Does "Suture Up Your Future" come from Homme's playbook? Did you even read my review? What the hell am I saying? P.S. Just so you know, you started with the diapers, not me.

5 to Psychopompe, because everything is fine, but gazebo no, please no.

Ciccio, it took me just as long to understand that the text quoted in the rec is by Celentano. The fact that you put the cover of a record that has nothing to do with the rec (nor with the title "Storia"/"Storie") says a lot. I’m probably the age of your father, but the one who’s clueless is you, who can’t tell an "a" from an "h".

The rec is so well done that Manliuzzo understood it's about just one song, when it should be about an album, since Storie d' Ammmmmmmore is the title of a CD. I'm speechless... one who can't explain himself and one who doesn't understand. I might be a bastard, but I'm not brain-dead.

If it's a joke, it's well done. Otherwise, and I tend to think otherwise, it doesn’t seem to me that there's anything further from Avion Travel and orgies.

I would end it here; I think people have had enough. The fact is, you don’t respond, and you never provide reasons, except for bullshit (like the diaper in the W.S. office, here on my Darwinism, while we’re talking about Homme). Is it too much to ask for a group to write a few good songs and arrange them a little differently over the years? Apparently, yes. Paul Simonon: "When I bought the first Ramones album, I listened to it every day for three months. Then I bought the second one and listened to it for about ten days. I also bought the third one. Damn, by the end of the first side, I didn’t even flip it over." That way I also piss off the Ramones fans. P.S. I’m sorry, but I don’t know who Valtorta is; I do know what XL is... and in the end, I got it right!

Dude, you managed to give 5 stars to Information by Beck, which only you and his sister have listened to, and four to Protest Songs by Sprout, which Paddy doesn’t even remember recording. I’ll avoid any comments on those who give 5 stars to Bruce Ligabue. You’re ready for Repubblica. In any case, I’m still here waiting for someone to explain to me the great evolutions of QOTSA from R to today... but they’re still stuck there... This is considered by many to be one of the best rock bands of recent years, but try listening to the changes, from one album to another, of the great bands from the past. Or look at what Radiohead have done. After all, if someone likes the Jersey cowboy and wants to hear the same song for thirty years... No, but now you’re going to tell me that he’s also in constant evolution...

Sorry Blackdog, but since you give at least four stars to any crap you review, could you maybe give them to me too?

The diaper is used by your friend Bruce, and he has been using it since he was a little kid.

I would also like to respond to Blackdog, who I like right from the name (I once had a band called Black Dogs...). So, reviews primarily help me decide whether to spend 20 euros on one album or another. Therefore, they make sense only if they're timely; otherwise, I rush to buy the album, obviously talking about the bands I like the most, and I might end up getting burned. Especially since I live in the countryside, where there are no radio stations playing rock, so to understand whether an album is worth it or not… you have to work for it! I assure you that I haven't just listened to the album one or two times, but about fifteen. The only thing that matters to me when I talk about something is to be honest. Then, like everyone, I can be wrong or not understand anything, so you can choose not to trust me. However, keep in mind that reviews of famous bands in magazines are usually done by listening to the advance at the record label, maybe just once and perhaps not even in full. Therefore, they seem even less reliable to me. After that, it's clear that in six months, you might write something different about the album (and indeed, as I say in the review of "Get Behind Me Satan," at first, I liked it a lot but then I hardly listened to it). The nice thing here is that there can be multiple reviews over time. I also get annoyed by those who get angry because three reviews of the same album come out. This happened to me with the new QOTSA, of which I was the only one to speak poorly. But the only thing that matters to me is that someone, in that case, Grant Nicholas, says: "I had some doubts, you clarified them for me," and so those famous 20 euros get wasted on the Stripes. After that, one can prefer to spend them on the QOTSA; that’s their choice, I’d rather just drink them.
