I'm listening to No Way Out by the Chocolate Watch Band right now and they sound amazing!!!

I don't think there is a divulgative intent behind this operation, as it lacks embellishments that would make it particularly commercial and contemporary; on the contrary, it seems aimed primarily at those who already love the original. Considering that it is impossible not to be influenced by the original while listening, I believe the key to understanding lies precisely in the continuous and "enamored" quotation...

Thank you for the observation, zaireeka. Maybe I like this album because it’s exactly what I expected. I've never been able to stand Morgan's taste for lyrics (and Bluvertigo's), while the music and arrangements, especially in the last one, were very "charming" (perhaps even a bit too calculating in mixing quotations and various clever tricks), and in the end, they managed to catch me. The more I listen to "non al den," the more I’m captivated by the timid embellishments and the respectful embroidery...

The review is good and expresses legitimate doubts, but after listening to it so much, this album by Morgan (a character I despise like few others) reveals many small details that together form something precious, even if it's just a tribute. I don't know who or what this album might serve, but is it really that important? Maybe it's just entertaining for those who already know it and can spot the slightest differences... well, anyway, the versions of Un Chimico e Un Ottico all seem to me anything but pedantic.

... I actually tremble at the thought of what I could write in front of that mastodon that is the song from which I take my nickname...

For the einsturzende, I only have a blank slate, so I can't comment on the album you reviewed. (the review, perhaps a bit cold, yes)
Tommy is an album I adored until I listened to Live at Leeds and the resulting chaos. I would have expressed myself differently, but from your perspective, as someone who loves it passionately, maybe it needed a bit more warmth. But it’s a mess to review things that you feel in your blood, which is why I still haven’t dared to tackle anything by the Roxy...

You know, when you have to confront a part of your life (like this album is for me, and a bit all the ones I’ve reviewed, except for the Monks, a relatively recent discovery), the dilemma is always between lightness and heaviness.
I think that the "devo" that’s in me has come out more in Lodger by Bowie, or in that of Quicksilver... but also in that of The Wall, right?
I feel like I'm a bit in all the ones I've written.

You say the seeds are smaller humax? I'm actually afraid of being disappointed: from the enthusiastic reviews I hear around, when it comes to the listening test, the drop is often significant...
