Disc of the most blessed one, and I don't understand why it gets so much forgotten in the vast sea of crap Post Rock from the late Nineties (with the few, deserved exceptions).

They are more "Breaking Bad" than physics, and the album is pretty good.

As in every review of the Smashing Pumpkins that comes my way, I copy/paste the law: "Out on tour with Smashing Pumpkins, nature kids I they don't have no function. I don't understand what they mean but I could really give a fuck."

I need to go pick it up at the store as soon as I can. Forget about fake records, this is the only edition that makes sense to exist for this stuff. I've heard some previews and read a review by Henry Rollins, and I can't wait to enjoy it. By the way, the LP edition is pretty cool (but it costs as much as two houses downtown).

I still have to hear this, their stuff is always good and now it's an institution, even at the level of external influence they hold in their circle.

This album was a blast, among the top ten of last year for me and also very nineties in certain inflections (kudos for referencing the Violent Femmes), despite the peers in his circle.

When you can't sell yourself with the extremisms, you can only sell yourself by giving up on them. And, above all, vice versa. If I want a bit of pussy down from Brazzers and if I want music related then Sasha Grey.

Yes, the Volcano Suns can fit in, just like in certain inflections the Das Damen of "Triskaidekaphobe" can fit in too, both of them infected by the germ of Psychedelia in the mid-Eighties. I knew an old-timer would come around, affectionately speaking, to bring me a bit of joy.

Among other things, these days Cloud Nothings is massively hyped, delivering an album that's totally '90s and filled with references—nice but without excessive virtue (though, to be fair, there's "Wasted Days" which is a true anthem). In any case, the twenty-year theory never fails: the '90s revival has even reached the midstream.

Then you can't speak well of the One Dimensional Man and start this review by saying: "I bet you fucking want that if these guys were American, you'd all say 'oh my god, everything's copied, in the '90s this emo has already been thoroughly explored, what's the point of making an album like this today? What's this? Are they Angel & Airwaves?'", since that’s a completely and totally interchangeable argument for a band like Capovilla's, which has always made craftsmanship and looking back (and overseas) its weapon. Don't take it the wrong way, but it really seems out of place to me.
