You made a huge mistake talking about this album; when it comes to America, you need to check out the first two albums, which are very interesting. A band that I consider underrated in some aspects. Give those a listen—it's passionate advice.

"But there are many groups that have managed to produce records with personal elements, thanks to the use of warm Mediterranean sounds, classicisms typical of tradition, and above all, an Italian feeling—a touch that distinguishes the product." On this point, I strongly recommend two names: Nuova Idea (listen to "Clowns") and Apoteosi. As for the record in question, I listened to it again and found it decent; I thought it was better.

Let’s talk about a group of immense value, led by a remarkable artist. Someone, malicious and daring, might call it a professional record: but that's not the case. A professional record wouldn’t have remarkable and valuable insights, it wouldn't have that sound and that way of presenting itself as if it were returning to play with music and instruments. However, playing alone is not enough; it also requires skills that Mascis and his colleagues fortunately possess. Something extra is needed, and it’s present in "Farm." A clear and well-deserved 4.

I'm sorry to go against the tide, but I've always considered it a great album, a little gem of European Progressive.

Musically, they are quite distant from ELP, as Supersoul rightly points out. They remain a very good band with some decidedly fascinating ideas; they absolutely deserve recognition.

Great job! You’ve done justice to a little gem of an album and to a band that I simply adore! Just one question: I never drink coffee, is there an alternative suggestion?

I don't know the album, but I have other material by Svensson and I really liked it. He wasn't just a mere craftsman. Great debut, welcome to Debaser.

And also mine! I'm happy to take note (both of the album from the review and the one mentioned by PopoloItaliano and Vortex).

I'll keep it short: I totally agree with Bartle and leave it to him to elaborate in this review (I'm sure that if he offers any further comments, I will find myself in agreement with him).

We will not give five to this review, as requested.
