What a punch this album packs, even if Waits' nightmares had already been put to rest with Bone Machine. The review may be a duplicate, but send more of this level.

That the Huskers didn’t even smoke a joint seems strange to me, considering that certain tracks, like "Pink Turns to Blue," really describe the effects of a heroin high...

I was really a bit of a heartbreaker... but then I saw the 1956 video of Heartbreak Hotel and I saw the light, give it a try too...

Mescalito was five, here I feel him much more electric and he increasingly resembles John Mellencamp (and that's a big compliment) with a more gritty voice, it's a shame because I prefer Bingham closer to uncertain troubadours between country and rock like Joe Ely.

He, Swinscoe, the deus ex machina, is good, but honestly, after the initial positive surprise, I always found them cold even live; and yet the material ("Night of Iguana") was potentially incendiary.

@giustiziere I don't “deign” to vote on someone else's review but I'm honored to give a 5 to a piece of writing to express my utmost appreciation. I don't understand the point of giving a 3 or a 4, as if to say “not bad, but not too much” like in school; I finished school a while ago... @j&r I was reading your review of "Our mother the mountain," but honestly, I couldn’t continue after you brought up De Andrè and Cohen... @ and let's get to the rock dictionary that wants to hear for the umpteenth time the spiel I presented in my Elvis Presley review. Anyway, I believe that any idiot who saw the 1956 video of Heartbreak Hotel with Scotty Moore’s riffs would understand what Elvis means to rock. Even the Clash realized this, who started in 1977 shouting “No Elvis, no Beatles or Rolling Stones” and then dedicated the cover of London Calling to him. You really must be quite a blockhead not to see it too...

especially when it says that if Elvis made history then Britney Spears is making history in the same way ...go play with your Panini stickers and not with records. Husker Du become more "melodic" obeying Che who said "you have to be tough without ever losing your tenderness." If you owe them a beer, there are loads of bands that should give them part of their profits...

And in the end, it turns out (j&r) that Presley was playing blues rock; in my opinion, your ears have led you astray. He was a country bumpkin, a hillbilly who blended country (yes, country) with soul and gospel, which was quite different from the dark Delta blues of Robert Johnson and the like. The fact remains that Elvis is the hero of all the rockabilly bands of the '80s, with the Cramps leading the charge, and even some things from the Clash, not to mention being an inspiration for Alan Vega on a fundamental album like the one by Suicide. If for you the musical world boils down to Van Morrison, I think that's your issue, not the entirety of Debaser's audience.

Of course, someone who calls themselves dizionariodelrock and then asks others why Elvis would have been so influential is just hilarious. It's not so much for the songs he sang that Elvis influenced rock, but it's HOW he sang them. People like Chuck Berry or Buddy Holly were artistically more important, but Elvis invented the personification of rock; after him, nothing was the same. And who knows why Strummer and company copied the cover of an Elvis album and not Bo Diddley’s. The collection of the Sun Sessions from '54/'55 is exceptional, a synergy of blues, gospel, and country that leaves you in awe with its spontaneity. Then, in the hands of Colonel Parker, it became a cash cow exploited to make money, with all the consequences we know. Honestly, to users like j&r above who say "thankfully, art is another thing," I would suggest looking for it in painting or literature. This is rock 'n roll; they're just little songs. Fortunately.

Terry, be careful, this cover is like those Japanese hologram postcards; you hold it straight and the girl is in a leopard jumpsuit... you tilt it and the girl is completely naked, ahahahah.
