<< the series is reaching a point of fatigue >> I read them just to get a few laughs from the dialogues, in the second to last one (Vanilla Ride) it was in top form, there are some Oscar-worthy nonsense even though the plot seems set in the land of galactic coincidences. For example, in this Mambo degli Orsi there's the dialogue with the cop that you can read 300 times and laugh every time.

"To say, one evening I ended up arguing with someone who claimed that Al Pacino was terrible at acting. Al Pacino." I've been saying this for years; he always plays the same damn role. Masterful and unmatched in doing it, but it's always the same part. Whether he plays a cop, a dealer, or a journalist, it's always "the coolest, genius, sly but pretty exhausted and neurotic" character. He always uses the same tone of voice (in Italy, however, very talented people dub him). Undoubtedly, he is the best at his role, but he is not a "great actor"; at most, he’s the best character actor around. For instance, De Niro may also do bad movies, but in those bad movies, he proves to be a hell of an actor by changing roles and characters like socks. Hopkins, Malkovich, Giannini, Volonté, Norton, Depp—those are great actors.

This is my favorite, but the last one is really bland, even worse than Offensive Captains (the penultimate one was definitely high-level). He needs to "get Leo to write one," Hap has definitely gotten on my nerves: at times he sounds like Sister Germana. The only positive note: Sandwich with Tuna, Banana Slices, and crushed (bar-style) chips; hardcore to the core.

Catch-33 appealed to you more because it’s the simplest; it’s the Meshuggah album for Doomsters and was released at a time when the band was seeking a new direction. In fact, before it came out, they released "I", which is a slap in the face of the off-time in time with 34 minutes straight, and then there’s Catch-33 which even has some repeated riffs—things they’ve never done before (I remember that when it came out, many tech metallers cried for days in front of Alex Gregory's house). While I’m at it, I’ll add that I’ve often found myself hearing a track, saying "beautiful," and then discovering it was a cover of a Joy Division song; I go back to listen to the original, and it’s worth a millionth of the cover. In my vocabulary for "flat sounds," there’s Ian's face. And it’s not that all their covers are significantly altered; this one, for example, is the same but I love it so much, while the original annoys me.

"<< very intricate hammering but absolutely useless >> Useless is one of those words that means nothing, just like the overused “they're very technical but sound Cold,” queen of nonsense. You don’t like complicated stuff, since you only mention albums that— in this field—are particularly simple, truly, Reign In Blood and Vulgar Display of Power can be played by a middle school kid (of course, judging albums has nothing to do with this). << 43% Burnt by the Dillinger Escape Plan is worth much more >> For me, they are two things at opposite ends; Dillinger seeks a compact sound, while Meshuggah goes for a texture. I repeat, not different, but literally at opposite corners. If one wanted to talk about ratings, I could say that a Dillinger album bores me after two listens because being so compact, everything reveals itself in a single listen, whereas with Meshuggah you catch a “new offbeat” (or whatever you want) even after the three-hundredth listen. For example, I think Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division is bullshit, but don't tell anyone."

And to wrap up the discussion on influence/innovation, Jane Doe was certainly not an innovative album, but it was definitely a very influential one given that there are so many clones. Botch were innovative in that field, but they didn’t have much influence.

I won't even mention Kid A, since there aren't even small examples to start a discussion, as it's not an "album by Radiohead" but by Warp, which - strange coincidence? - after the glories of the 90s, faded away in the journey through the 2000s.

At most among the "popular" of the 2000s, one could include "influenced by Lateralus" Obzen by Meshuggah, but only and exclusively in small instrumental parts of bass and drums; or even the first album by Dredg, which nevertheless made a splash with the second that is much less Tool-like than the first, indeed maybe it’s not Tool-like at all (In fact, I remember that El Cielo hooked me right away). For the rest, I believe Lateralus is the closure of a cycle, rather than a beginning.
