Yes, I quote Gasta, also because the "Today Is the Day" trend, if anything, was "en vogue" about ten years ago, and aside from the constant theme of psychosis which, as such, is certainly not susceptible to those intellectualizations or esoteric-gnostic symbolisms so dear to Tibet, if not analyzed from the outside, Steve Austin's approach is, among other things, antithetical in essence, completely devoid of any form of resonance and much more instinctual.

No, I'm referring specifically to the "Summer Sun," and by something different I mean precisely the fact that here they evade sketches and composite flourishes to attempt a path of more linear writing, much less disordered, which aims to keep the mood of the album constant... sleepy mind, but also, due to an excess of productive lacquers, flamboyantly ridiculous.

You say?! Rather predictable elixir, though: they manage to formalize and sharpen their insights impeccably with "I Can Hear..." and then, from there, they continue to draw without further delay... I mean, they do try to do something different, with intellectual honesty, but, thanks to this gift, they wisely decide to let it go since, under the influence of their "Sole Estivo," even the most composed and polished chickens were laughing their heads off...

Bëla, but allow me a small digression now on the calibration method, that is, one weight and multiple measures: how is it that the YLT do not cause any trouble in perpetuating (pleasantly) their sonic characteristics ad libitum, while today's Dinosaurs, if they repeat themselves (even at levels close to their expressive peak), are nonetheless by definition Jurassic and boiled?!!

Just think about it, for me it’s exactly since bands like Mogwai and GY!BE started (and it feels endless) to serenade us with their infinite serenades and piano lullabies that this post-rock began to become a nuisance, and the current Mono have fallen right into it... As long as it stayed within the pauses and starts of guitar and drums, with the right amount of effort, (and with some Krautrock effects in the brightest cases) it was fine, but now it’s music that can serve only to take out a diabetic!

It's a full-blown pandemic now; Pegg and Wright were right... it's "Shaun of the Dead"!!! P.S.: I know I'm one of the few to say this publicly, but I actually quite like the stylistic and technical evolution (because that's what it is) of Bloc Party.

They have always seemed to me like the "American College" version of the Cranes, so I like them. However, I thought that Bartolo in the past was dedicated to sounds akin to the thunderous Mjöllnir that strikes the swollen clouds, to the infallible Gungnir that pierces the limbs of the wicked, or, at the very least, to the mephitic song of Hildr that breathes life back into fallen warriors so they can resume fighting, certainly not to the chirping of a nightingale among the rustling cherry blossoms in the spring breeze.

Pleasure, I like them, and thinking back to the time, while knowing them, they were just annoyingly "tunz-tunz" to me; now I've really reevaluated them, and not a little. But perhaps now I’m one of the, truly, rare individuals who still argues they are excellent producers/performers; perhaps it’s because Emerson has taken a step back (and at this point, it makes one think he was the "occlusive" holder of "tunztunzism" among the three), but with the much-criticized "A Hundred Days Off," I take some great journeys: more suspended and stretched atmospheres, but also a variety of rhythmic patterns like never before in one of their entire albums. To the list of pioneering works (though later than what you mentioned, it has a wider range of solutions, I.M.O.) I would also add "Dark Cities" by F.S.O.L.
