Do you know what NSS Gabriele? You're right.

I don't know what "fuffa" means, this is well-made pop. Good melodies, interesting arrangements, notable production. In short, quality pop.

I didn't like this one instead. The review isn't very inspired; even I think Phantom Power isn't the best of SFA, but it's not that bad, and then Slow Life is a great track. I didn't understand what Beetlebum has to do with it—Slow Life is a long and complex piece. I also didn't get how Out of Control can be considered hard rock à la Oasis (actually, I'm not even sure what hard rock à la Oasis really is!). This is an album that tried to draw from the sunny melodies of a certain American tradition, achieving this only partially while also offering some interesting insights. It doesn't seem like you've listened to it very well.

Okay... rings isn't very immediate, it took me a while to appreciate it. Anyway, you do you, there's really no way to know who will like what from SFA; I've read fan forums where everyone basically pointed to a different favorite album. I went all the way to Liverpool to see them, and it was a great concert! Anyway, I think they aren't very popular in Italy because we tend to like compartmentalized music; in other words, those who listen to pop want a band to play only pop, and those who enjoy more obscure genres want their favorite group to be only and always obscure. They, on the other hand, are too pop to be considered obscure and too obscure to be pop. Furthermore, they are ironic, a quality not very appreciated in the boot.

Dear Ardalo, it’s difficult to recommend a specific album because they are quite different from each other, yet all infused with that certain je ne sais quoi superfurryanimaliano that unites them. Still, "Radiator" is definitely the masterpiece of the early period; however, "Guerrilla" is also very solid. I would say the best of the mature period is "Rings Around the World." I wouldn't overlook the strange and fascinating album entirely in Welsh, "Mwng," which is the best-selling Welsh album in history!

Last time I razzed you, but deep down I'm a good person, so considering that this review is already much better than the last one and especially that with your enthusiasm you're helping spread the Word of the SFA around the world, you deserve a good score! I just don’t understand why the SFA often encounter so much resistance; to me, they seem like one of the most brilliant groups of recent years... I don’t know.

I didn't think that people who write so poorly could listen to SFA. In my ideal world, every listener of one of the most underrated bands of the nineties was a fine literary scholar. I guess it's the fault of the internet that connects everything with everyone...

I even read it all. It’s really poorly written; the only pseudo-positive thing is that it has this fast pace, which is also why many people like it, I suppose. It’s the equivalent of television.
