Well, thanks to everyone who stepped in, in order: @Super: degustibus, I too find "Recioe" to be the weakest.
@Cial: what makes you puzzled, dear? @Fest: well, it's undeniable that they are influenced by both punk and metal; from the first, they have the fury and the compositional framework, from the second, speed and a quite marked epicness. Regarding the fact that the lyrics are political, they are undoubtedly blatant in their politicization, but it's precisely their explosive way of putting forward their ideas that, at least until this album, coincides with piercing sounds, if not violent. I find existentialism in a certain kind of pessimism that is their trademark, like in the lyrics of the title track for example: three thousand miles of wilderness
overcome by the flow,
a lonely restitution of pavement,
pomp and show,
I seek a thousand answers,
I find but one or two,
I maintain no discomfiture,
my path again renewed,
against the grain,
that's where I'll stay, " or in "Anesthesia": "Anesthesia, Mona Lisa, I've got a little gun,
Here comes oblivion,
I never loved you, how did you find me?" (where, among other things, the references to a violent world are evident, but the whole album is, in my view, permeated by these two main sentiments: hate and pessimism. Of course, there's a lot of politics too, but it's just my impression. Bye!
