@ Purpulan: thank you for the compliments! Coming from you (I've often found myself in agreement with your opinions), it means a lot! @ targetski: I've been following them since "black sheep boy," I don't know the first two... I'll catch up and let you know.

Anyway, caught up in recommending their best albums, I forgot to compliment you on the good review. I don’t know if I’ll get the album (I’ve been burned too many times by them lately), but yours is worthy because it gives space to a band with undeniable talent, and maybe thanks to your review, someone else will discover them... great job.

@ Fede: the must-have albums by Therapy? that I strongly recommend are the first 2 EPs, Nurse, Infernal Love, and especially Troublegum, their undisputed masterpiece. Semi-detached wasn't bad either... from there on, sadly, the curtain falls... and I'm telling you this as someone who loved them to madness! anyway, they remain one of the best bands of the 90s, extremely underrated... I agree with jaymaster77 on the extra touch that an extraordinary drummer like Fyfe Ewing brought.

Thank you, beautiful people, for the compliments... @ Fosca: I also liked the first Coldplay a lot, but in their later works, they became a bit deflated... they got too caught up in stadium rock. The Doves have a different depth. @ Anatas: I didn't know Slowdive, thanks to your review I discovered them... great album. I've returned the favor :)

Exaggerated 5 stars come on... I find it mediocre instead. The title track, "9-5 Nasty," and a few other bits save it... much, much better is their debut!

And then, to definitively close the discussion...you attack me claiming that there is no "depressed music" and "music not recommended in the worst moments" and then you come out with this sentence: "Try listening to 'Tutti Morimmo a Stento' by De André in a moment of difficulty, or the complete works of Nick Drake in a phase of existential uncertainty"...you've really shot yourself in the foot, dear HB: how is it that these are discouraged and the sophia are not? So it's you who is supporting the theory of depressed music...I get it, you wanted the copyright!!
Enough. this fact, along with the one about Coldplay, makes me understand that there's a lot of confusion inside you. I'm closing communications. adios

Ah nice, here nobody hates you... I reiterate that my comments were exaggerations (not ironic jokes, not prejudices) to outline a "passage," a subtle stylistic change, from "the infinite circle" to "people..." And then I reiterate: far from me to advise (or worse, dissuade) whether to listen to a certain type of music, and at what existential moments. At this point, a doubt arises: do you have problems with Italian? If you enjoy pointless controversy at all costs, that's your business. And anyway: I went back to reread your review of "Fixed Water" and... surprise! Big surprise! You also mention Coldplay! What was it? "The Beatles meet Coldplay... something like that... imagine that... I understand why they hate you... not me, though... here we go again.
