"Sometimes this happens to me: I listen for the first time to an album that I absolutely love, and after a handful of minutes, my mind is completely emptied of any complex thoughts, filled with melodies and colors, my eyes shining, and an ecstatic, astonished smile is printed on my face, like that of a newborn exploring the world around them. A feeling that I’ve been fortunate enough to experience quite a few times, and to be honest, it’s the search for this mental state that drives me more than anything else to listen to music, to discover new artists. For someone like me who cares nothing about historiography, even less about mythology, who understands little to nothing about technique and is too lazy to study it, what remains? Emotion, precisely."

Great review, passionate and well-documented; I had read a lot about them in a special issue of Mucchio dedicated to them, Jefferson and another American band from the 60s psychedelia that I can't remember now. Along with the 13th Floor Elevators, however, they are the bands from that period that have never really grabbed me.

I must admit that the review does justice to your nickname; I still tried to read it, but halfway through I gave up. I'll listen to the album as I did with the previous ones, which, aside from a few nice moments, have never really excited me.

Like Silas, the first namesake was really cool, heavily influenced by Jesus and Mary Chain and generally by a constant shoegaze vibe, with some great songs; the second one wasn't at that level, and then I lost track of them.

A bold takedown of an album universally praised as a milestone of rock history.

I agree with Taurus, I wouldn’t see Wow as a transitional album, which remains one of their best alongside Requiem (their peak, for me) and Il suicidio dei samurai. It’s also true that Wow leaned much more towards a twisted psychedelic pop rock (the more intense tracks served as interludes or little more) and here, taking a more Wow attitude than the previous ones, they focus more on distorted atmospheres (but in a very different way compared to Requiem or Il suicidio dei samurai). To better frame it, though, the second part will be necessary, which according to Ferrari will be better than this first one.
