What an idea, Captain, 5 no matter what. No one has forgotten it, not even me at 23 years old. As they say, Fedeli Alla Linea.

Welcome to kresko, a debut with a bang. I've practically only listened to the album once, in and out, impossible to give a judgment.

Strange that the review is so little frequented. You piqued my curiosity, truly macaco (as always, after all). In fact, I realize that until recently I too had an exotic, "postcard-like" view of Brazil. Indeed, when thinking about Brazil's problems, the first things that come to mind are the favelas, the regime of uncontrolled violence that prevails within these desperate cities. Not that these aren't important issues (on the contrary), but I mainly think about violence against the environment, against indigenous populations, the indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources, which continuously creates disasters whose possible consequences on ecosystems we do not fully comprehend.
Some time ago, I went to explore with Google Earth the more remote areas of the Amazon rainforest. It’s chilling, truly chilling, to observe the networks of roads, often incomplete, that start and end with fires visible from space! And then there are huge circular cities that spring up like mushrooms along the countless tributaries of the Amazon River. Lands as large as the Aosta Valley transformed into pastures for cattle ranching (Google Earth even marks ā€œFarmā€ with labels), an undisciplined and illogical exploitation of the territory.
It’s disheartening; one gets the feeling that it’s really all over.

Great review, captain. So, ultimately, is it advisable to start with "Q" or "54"?

Well done, water. Honestly, I don't think it's my kind (or rather, maybe a few years ago I would have gotten them).

Hello Doctor, as always, excellent writing. When it comes to UFOs (or UFI, as Corrado Guzzanti called them in one of his sketches), I can't diverge from my skepticism regarding how the media presents them. Someone mentioned that the inability of science to prove the existence of other forms of life represents one of its limits. I say, first of all, let’s give it time, since (let’s remember, it's always worth it) the so-called scientific method has been in application for 400 years, which isn’t very much considering the history of civilizations. And it has already given us some answers.
Secondly, I primarily contest the humanization of the extraterrestrial figure, which makes the whole discussion almost grotesque. To think that where there is no water, there is no life is far more reasonable than imagining extraterrestrials spying on farmers in Oklahoma and, when discovered, vanishing while hopping through cornfields. I might seem sarcastic, but I’m not; I present the matter more crudely to convey the idea.
Furthermore, I would like to remind you that no one, absolutely no one among scholars can or wants to deny the existence of extraterrestrial life.
Regarding the thousands of sightings, I would just like to remind you of what centuries of sea adventure stories have given us about dragons, sea monsters, and mermaids (which were later discovered to be dugongs, animals that are part of the sirenids). Until a few centuries ago, the sea was the most daunting challenge for humanity, and it was recognized that there were different beings present in the oceans, thus "aliens."
I believe the same reasoning can be applied now, beyond the stratosphere, the only space that makes modern man feel infinitesimal in the infinite. Rationalist regards.
