The capital letters are not random; which would be the incriminating sentences?

...and keep in mind that they are among my twenty favorite artists! ;-)

Your argument is valid (and I share it; if you noticed, I am not generous with 5s in my reviews), but I start from the premise that comparisons (and therefore criteria for judgment) should always be made within a genre or at least by proximity. Otherwise, if we take music as a whole and rate from 1 to 5, you’ll understand that by giving a 5 to Bartók, perhaps Echo should aim for a 2 for their best work. Fortunately, that’s not the case. Indeed, if I talk about female singer-songwriters of the '90s, for me any album by Amos (I mention an artist I know very well) deserves a 5 because they were fundamentally important for that period. In the case of Echo, I have to be a bit tougher because compared to their other works, but also with artists similar to them (JD above all), this loses a bit of its substance, in my opinion. I hope I’ve clarified.

P.S: it's not that dark, come on, the true darkness lies in some of their other works.

Starting from the assumption that I find it inferior to their other albums from that period (all around 4 stars), I gave it a passing grade nonetheless. You have to admit that compared to "Crocodiles," for example, this one is a bit underdeveloped. I don't mean to belittle it; I think I've highlighted its positive aspects anyway. Bye!

The DT have made an album and a half at high levels in their career, this is the whole thing.

Superficial analysis... if you say so... the macGuffin doesn't matter because the briefcase is not just a pretext, it's the protagonist; it's a symbol of the lack of innocence of an entire Nation. It doesn't seem that hard to get there.

Well, to quote Nick, the women on DeBaser are either Bjorkuccia fakes or Bubi fakes, which one are you? ;-) Good review for a decent movie.

Do you also get the impression that a New Human Case has arrived on DeBaser?

Very Beautiful.
