I honestly didn’t understand the string of ones in this review, I mean "I hate Renato Zero so I hate the review too"? Help me understand... the review is written very well.

Yes, the reviews that get straight to the point are among my favorites. I don't think this album is for me, but when you talk about dream pop, what do you mean? Like My Bloody Valentine? Because I actually like them a lot!

Beautiful. I’ve never listened to this album carefully, I’ll get it again, I had been thinking about it for a while.

..however! great review, I haven't seen the film but at this point I have to!

mmm.. Nirvana are another one of my favorite bands.. I’d say it's best not to start another conversation for now :-D but we did find 2 things, right? Who and the book that must be really interesting! Bye!

great review. I don’t know them, but I think I really like them, yes yes

Great review! You know what I think? This book might really appeal to me.. very teen spirit and teenage wasteland :-) let's see if we've found something we can agree on :-)

Thank you as well for the chat, it was a pleasure, really, I enjoy talking about music anytime, and what can I say..SEE YOU NEXT TIME! Maybe we can find something we agree on :-) take care, bye!

It's not just fans or admirers of the group who say this, but also music critics and history. Their influences are undoubtedly numerous, but, and I say this as a simple listener, I am convinced of their personal and creative approach in reworking them, and, once again, I'm not the only one who says so. Again, as a simple listener and a modest connoisseur and passionate about music, I tell you that in my opinion, and again I'm not the only one who thinks this and I'm not talking about fans, the relevance was primarily musical, and then also in terms of image, fashion, and culture, of course. Then, if you say that Oasis - a sideshow phenomenon - have influenced others, you'll have to explain how, because I really can't imagine how, and believe me, I've listened to them quite well too... and I understood that they were worth nothing. The Blur, on the other hand, started to matter commercially and in terms of press interest from Parklife onwards, so since 1994. Anyway, I repeat that we see these things in a very different way, and that's perfectly fine, of course! Bye!

The fact is that you also claim your point of view as the only objective one, alright, you don't like Blur and consider them a small group, I see it the opposite way; everyone thinks what they want, as you rightly said, but that Parklife and Blur, along with other albums by other bands, have marked English rock in the '90s is history. It's not just me saying this, you understand? It's not a fan's position; I'm not a fan of anyone. I'm a music enthusiast who greatly appreciates certain bands and artists, like everyone else, but what I would like you to understand is that whether you like it or not, Blur were important in England in the '90s. Then, again with this English press, in the review I described their situation up until '94: no one cared about them, they had everyone against them, including the press. Parklife came out and people responded to it... the situation is very simple, just as it happened in rock history with other artists and bands. When The Great Escape was released, the exact opposite happened with the press: everyone praised Oasis as the best band in the world while Blur were treated as half measures, yet they continued to be successful anyway (The Great Escape sold as much as Parklife) and then came the three albums I mentioned before, with which they completely changed their style, achieving artistic results appreciated everywhere. I'm telling you how it went objectively. IN MY OPINION, mixing pop, rock, psychedelia, punk, waltz, space rock, noise, lo-fi, ethnic, electronic... in such a personal and original way (Blur have an absolutely recognizable style while continuously changing their approach) is a hallmark of the greats. You think differently, that's all, even though I believe you should listen to them more attentively, and maybe you would change your mind, or maybe not. Bye!
