strangler

I know, it's a curse that haunts me; when they arrive, I always find myself somewhere else. Even this winter, they were at my house and I wasn't there... dear trampled rose... and destinies chase each other...

The Dead Meadow are an amazing experience on record, let alone live... but where is Azzano S.P.??

these are the classic records that, while I’m anxiously rummaging through the shopkeeper's shelf with sonic withdrawal symptoms, end up in my hands and make me wonder to myself: "But who the hell will ever listen to this stuff?" And yet, no, there are indeed people who not only buy them, overcoming obstacles that for me are insurmountable, like hideous covers, but they also listen to them, managing to find all sorts of ethno-cultural influences, modernist symbolisms, and tribal/anthropological hints, all in a Nathcha Atlas record...aaah how beautiful the world is, so different from what one imagines...

These days I’m re-listening to Transatlanticism and I think it’s a really beautiful album, light music but not trivial, and the lyrics are above average. After all, you can’t always listen to SUNN 0))), Thrones, or Acid Mother Temple; sometimes something relaxing doesn’t hurt... and let’s be honest, want to impress that guy/girl and you put on the Neurosis??? Unless they’re the type who collects crucifixes or likes to sleep under the pyramids during a lunar eclipse, with Death Cab you’re safe...

listen, it's Monday, there's a grayness inside and outside of me that leaves me torn between suicide or heavily drugging myself, so either you listen to the album well and you'll notice here and there that there are some flashes of keyboard or let's just stop this farce.

miiiii... in fact, I wrote that the Fu Manchu have those damn keyboards, they use them little but they use them.

Apart from the fact that in "RUSH" even Lee didn't play the keyboards but "only" guitar and bass, you show here that you don't actually listen to the albums: just listen to Space Farm and you'll hear the keyboards as well; sure, they are marginal, they aren't exactly the Headless Horsemen or Plan 9 (I don't know if you understand these fundamental references for '80s heavy psychedelia), but they're there, just like if I remember correctly on a couple of other songs too, I think (an album I bought as soon as it came out and that I haven't listened to in a while). Then you got hung up on this detail; the problem is that I always write very quickly, and the reference to the keyboards thinking of Lee (who plays them brilliantly) obviously can't be equivalent; it’s easy to be misunderstood. I don't care if Rush are progressive; when I hear the drumming of FM, it reminds me a lot of Rutsey's playing, the same goes for these fast and dragged guitars... if you really want to know, I don't expect others to share my same opinions (unlike you); for example, these days I'm listening a lot to Mogwai (immense to me), and in various moments they remind me of Pink Floyd (I won't specify which period); I know they might have nothing to do with each other, but I keep grouping them together in various aspects... am I a heretic? Well, yes... go ahead and burn me at the stake, but I will continue to listen to them as I've always done: with my own head and my own feelings... that's why I never criticize other people's reviews; I can criticize an opinion, but not a person's musical experience... it would make me feel like crap...

Yes, you are right, my reasoning comes from my brain; from which brain do yours draw inspiration? Certainly not from yours, since it's too busy with your little porn magazines.

"Look at the good and the just! Who do they hate more than anyone else? The one who shatters their tables of values, the destroyer, the wrongdoer: but he is the one who creates! They will be called destroyers and despisers of good and evil. But they are the reapers, those who celebrate the feast!"

you CAZ instead keep talking like a specialized magazine in the field and you'll see you will never be wrong. You fundamentally understand nothing about music, because it's not enough to showcase more or less unknown names to grasp anything or to copy as you always do without any shame; music has to be interpreted and then "listened to" in a completely subjective way. In THIS album, I will continue to hear the RUSH of the first two albums, in the sound of the guitars, in the rhythm section, and in some keyboard sounds, and you instead keep filling your exhausted mouth with your stoner dogmas. Ah, but maybe I should translate the word dogmas for you, I guess you don’t understand it... in an interview with Josh Homme read who knows where and a long time ago, I read that one of the biggest influences on Kyuss was the Smiths, so as you see, idiot, it’s not all so obvious as you want to make it appear... little shapeless creature covered in horrible anal pustules filled with soft pus.
