A greeting and a thank you to everyone. @Zion, I must say that this album doesn't really have a great reputation, even on "serious" sites like AMG, and there were practically no Italian reviews online. I thought it was right to talk about it to repay my debt because there was a time in my life when I listened to just one track from "Old..." a day, about ten times. @odra, I'm glad for your temporary return, but let's say that, deep down, I was secretly hoping for it. Your account of the fortunate encounter fills me with curiosity and a touch of envy. I'm happy to know that the not-so-great reception hasn't soured Wyatt on this fragile and beautiful creation of his.

Sorry, I got confused with "Quicksand...", which I actually still need to listen to. The mule tracks don't always follow the most canonical paths. The latest one is precisely this one you spoke about excellently.

Have you heard the latest? As always happens to me when there’s an illustrious predecessor, I really liked "Heroin King Blues" and it’s on my list of possible reviews. I’m a bit hesitant to “discard” the gift. It’s a band that deserves more attention, and your review hits the mark.

"Sorry if tonight I want to stay at home...", the more I listen to it, the more I feel that there are flashes of genius in "Bolognina Revolution".

Thank you as always to everyone for the comments. I suspected that, for many who know and appreciate Grant Lee Buffalo, this album and this band might be relatively unknown, but I didn’t expect that no one, at least from those who passed through here, had listened to it. Hopefully, we’ve persuaded someone to seek it out. I’m off to work. Bye.

From the way you talk about it, I believe it means more to you, at least sentimentally, than the 3 you gave it. One note: the final sentence suggests that "light listening" is something superfluous. That’s not true, and your careful review is proof of that. Among so many albums, you went and picked one that is "light"! I will look for it.

You force me to listen to it sooner than I had planned, since being a critique of Morrissey, not just some random nobody, I will only see later if I can give you the usual 5.
