Now I've read it well. You have a smooth and spontaneous writing style :)) and now, even though I'm not interested in this stuff, I'm really curious to hear this Crazy in a nu-metal version, really! Hi Cool :)

Boring. The most disappointing listening of the week. Hi Sodo. :)

I reread this striking sentence: "The Knuts of Challenger ultimately speak a multifaceted, obsessive, claustrophobic, extremely violent, and jarring language light-years away from the serene image radiated by the Swiss Confederation." This observation is very interesting. Many Swiss bands are ultraviolent because Switzerland, beneath its apparent tranquility, is ultraviolent. We have a record number of drug users, a record number of suicides, a record number of alcoholics, a record number of potheads, a record number of psychotropic drug abusers (records in proportion to the rest of Europe), not to mention everything else. We are the only country in the world that allows assisted suicide. More violent than that, more rational and cold than that. :-/ No, really, I don't know if you understand. Depression in Switzerland is real, tangible, palpable. It's everywhere, among the people, among the youth. Why? Because we have been too socially pampered, but in the last 20 years, various setbacks (unemployment, major certainties failing, Swissair for example, the Post, the Railways, the Banks) have made us insecure, weak, and cowardly. In Switzerland, the people are sovereign, but after indulgences and excess, the sovereign is obese, soft, and cannot move, doesn't know where to go, where to look, how to act. You Italians, I know it’s a preconceived notion but it's also a holy truth, you have the art of making do, of being independent from the state, you have volunteering, and you have a very strong political awareness (here on Debaser for example... sometimes you impress me!). I often envy you, you know? Despite all the mess you have in Italy, I envy you. - Sorry for the lengthy comment, but I needed a little break from work :)))

How many international bands started out with loud, acidic, warped, power sounds, etc., and now instead are more lyrical, softer, more cerebral, more ethereal, more pop? One above all, Sonic Youth. Another... Fugazi? One more... At The Drive-In/Mars Volta... and this... Refused/International Noise Conspiracy? Oh, I almost forgot this one.... Joy Division/New Order. I mean, even though their beginnings were dazzling and at the highest level, we gave them a chance later on, with indulgence, right? How many times have we said that certain albums of theirs are transitional, always with the same indulgence? I cling to what Luigui said that struck me deeply. We’re not always perfect; sometimes it's necessary to make mistakes, or, if you want to put it bluntly, sometimes it’s good to mess up a bit because that's how we learn, how we evolve. If this album is self-indulgent, I think the right people will know how to tell the MKs, honestly, without mincing words, and then for the next work, they'll adjust their aim. The Marlene aren't kids who messed up their second album; they've done quite a bit already, they've spun some ideas around in their little brains, eh! Moreover, I personally know Godano; he's a very open and cultured person. And he writes beautiful emails. He’s not a kid who was playing covers in a basement a year ago; he’s a man who has seen and experienced a lot. And even if he started with covers, respect; that was many years ago. And if someone else saw in the MK material that could be worked better for us... let the CPI be blessed, let Mescal be blessed! I’ll repeat for the umpteenth time: you Italians are too harsh on your bands! You’re too inflexible!... I want to give a chance to this Marlene that I haven’t listened to yet (SIGH!!!). I will return, surely, to share my thoughts on it. Bye -- thanks Puglia for the response :))

If the story of Scientology is true and he has also gotten married and has a child now. In short, he’s no longer a kid, our loser. I always found Beck annoying because he always seemed like a fake shy guy, a clever one, to put it simply. But with Sea Change, I reevaluated the character; there he showed he had a true and honest sensitivity... even though this whole Scientology thing... um, I find it hard to be objective...................... :D (nashira... like "the lucky one," that is, the star G? Are you a Capricorn?) :D

People who have always inspired me a lot. I don’t know this one, (I have the last two, of which I particularly appreciate Avant Hard) but knowing that the AddNToX covers have always been explicit about their "disturbing" sounds, I imagine this work is quite prickly and abrasive (and how could it be otherwise!). Thank you Ege, your reviews always propose original and "different" things from the usual routine.

I've always liked Jeff Beck. He’s always seemed like an honest and passionate person, and his unmistakably British electric blues has always appealed to me. This is a great review, kudos to the author. I've always loved the British blues invasion. Charles, do you know that masterpiece "Blind Faith"? No? You must! With Ginger Baker, Eric Clapton, Ric Grech, and Stevie Winwood, one of the first so-called 'supergroups'. One day I'll have to do the race of Blind Faith... and maybe also a Ten Years After one... Well all right!
