@Hi Don, happy to see you again, in just two lines of post you condense everything @ Messer sfascia: tempora e mores, we've all become uppercase, I too am azzo lowercase... @ Mary and Vivis: a bunch of kisses!

@ Ale, indeed the next one I was planning to do was about Rein Sanction, which I'm actually listening to right now. How small the world is...

Thanks. @Egregio Sfascia (I wrote it with a capital S, you edited it, and you belittle it?) here I am still a young sprout, and I don't know all about your immense reviewing career, but it seems to me that you mainly focus on metallic crashes. Here’s the "Stranamente" @ Pixies 77: De gustibus: while I was reviewing, I put on a few of their records again, but "Let me come over," I didn't even flip it. A bit too easy for my tastes. @Fusi it's already a lot that you don't even remember them, if you did, you’d find them disgusting :-).

Hi Ale. I see you've attracted a couple of friends who vote regardless. How boring. The second one, as Hardrock indicated, is Godano. But the first? It can't be my beloved Vasco, can it? Anyway, I’ll also stick up for the Marlene, who have become a disaster, but they've definitely paid their dues (in the beginning, I used to see them in places really off the beaten path). P.S.: stay tuned because I posted a Mascis production :-)

Excellent choice, I completely agree with Bartle.
The Kills Midnight Boom

To me, "Meds" also seems the best since the first two. This The Kills raises a stretched-out three only because after the disaster of the second, I thought they were dead and buried. Sorry, but have you heard the first one? That’s a great album.

Uh, great rediscovery. For the younger ones, Mark Perry wrote, in "Sniffin' Glue," one of the historical phrases of the time, namely "Punk is dead when The Clash signed with CBS." Rece that would be a 5 if it were just a bit more polished "Bhé," "by ATV" and more like a text message sends a bit of chills down my spine.

Alright, you always learn something, now there's the genre "depressed cantautorato." It's a ballad, pop genre, that's all, quite simple, a bit above one tone, a bit above another, I go down one. I don't remember a Drake song, if the genre exists, that uses these tricks. "Sulle labbra" and "Io non sono immaginario" are not pop? So what are they? It's not just about throwing in a few raga here and there and making some latent tails to create a psychedelic record. For example, keeping the vocals much higher than the rest of the instruments in mixing is a characteristic of pop. And in this album, the vocals are very high. Always using, I mean always, the refrain, another characteristic. Are there no refrains here?

I would like it to be clear that for me pop is not an insult (like it is for Ale :-)), indeed, well-made pop records are welcome. I just say that within their discography, it lags behind "GERMI" or "Hai paura", which I listen to less, even less than "Ballate", which at least has a couple of perfect pop tracks, and the piece that stays with me the most is "Ritorno a casa", which, as you noticed, is a Massimo Volume piece.
