The key point of this completely baffling reasoning of this Alessio is that he knows jack about Metal. He hasn't even heard of Wizard. As for Sleep, don't even get me started. He doesn't even know what Drone is. Doom? Forget it. This guy thinks Metal is all Vergini Sgozzate A Luna Piena; it's hard to explain something to someone who is totally oblivious to the topic. Why even say to him, "Think about Sleep, think about Electric Wizard"? When he thinks about it, he sees a black hole. This guy has four records at home and even dares to write something. Respect For Human Cases!

I have a nose for the human case; I never miss one. I’m Nick's left hand (because the right one is busy with other stuff).

No, you’re mistaken again, you’re ignorant on the subject. Come on, it’s not that it SOUNDS like Porn, it IS Porn. There’s quite a difference. It’s HIS project, he’s the Leader, he decides what to do, as well as when and how to do it. You call the distortions Heavy, in English that translates to - alla bene - Heavy. Heavy like what? Is it going to be like Heavy Metal? But no, how can it be? Anyway, you only answered one of the 15 questions I asked you. Tell me where I’m wrong, I told you where you went wrong. That thing about Buzzo’s Bible, for instance, is complete nonsense; you can’t take an interview from when he was 18 years old, forget the 9000 interviews that say the exact opposite in the 25 years that followed, and then impose his thoughts from when he was young and clueless. I don’t believe he would spit on My War now (besides, you even got the release date wrong), but don’t worry that it’s not at all his bible. And in Melvins, I’ll repeat, there are now two guys who are UNAPOLOGETICALLY METAL. You reviewed (the) Melvins, that (the) in parentheses is new; it’s a new lineup. Get updated, turn on your brain, look, just because the homepage is full of lost kids doesn’t mean we’re all like that; we have a few tons more records than you. It’s not like you come here to teach us. Just to give an example, I reviewed this album two months before it was released. You’re just the latest arrival; get in line. And maybe pay for the ticket to read our gems.

Nick, listen to me: this is a human case.

And all the people who played with the Melvins, where have they gone? Into Metal. And where do the two guys who are now the new wing of the Melvins come from? From Metal. And what are you saying? It's unclear. And where do you find reviews of the Melvins when the record has been on the market for 5 seconds? On Metal sites. And what do people wear at Melvins concerts? 70% of the time, metal t-shirts. And when you search for the Melvins online, where do you find them? From users with their hard drives full of Metal. And what are you saying? Again, it's unclear. But you're nice, congratulations. I WANT TO NOMINATE YOU AS A HUMAN CASE (And I've always had a Nose for these things, which has proven to be right).

<< I didn't mean 2006 or 2005, but metal in its entirety. >> You just gave a 5 to an album with a terribly metal sound. Played by people who have lived with metalheads for 20 years. One is even married to a metal girl and has two other bands, both metal. The other plays with various metalheads and if you ask him what his favorite albums are, 8 out of 10 are metal. When he had just finished high school, he said that thing about My War, but for 20 years now he has appreciated metal much more than rock. Moral: wow, what a genius you are. << why are there all these convinced metalheads among the comments of a review of a band that draws more from a certain type of punk (Black Flag)? >> Triple wow, you are a fantastic humorist.

Beautiful also Red Sparowes & Isis (though better are Agalloch), and also Solitude Aeternus from those pumped this year, Fidia. Then for the series "who knows," I would throw in Ocean Chief, Minsk, Hog Mountain, Gates Of Slumber and another 3/4, counting just this year. The point is that now metal has been around for over 20 years, and recycling has begun, stabilizing itself like other genres. Rock is full of shit bands, overflowing, but we are used to the fact that they exist, so we only select the best. Indie, don't even get me started, Punk stabilized two days after its birth, etc. etc. We have to come to terms with the fact that it’s no longer a genre for the few; it’s played by dogs and swine, and now even crappy records are coming out. We're just too spoiled; it’s not like we could expect the "golden age" to last forever; in fact, it lasted even too long. Now we just have to select. Nice review, senseless and full of nonsense, just as Buzzo would want. Too bad Buzzo says nonsensical things on purpose, while the reviewer might have wanted to be serious.

There are modern Prog groups that completely outshine some of the older ones. "But they are new, so they copy." Or "they don't do prog, it's technical post-rock with long suites and various changes but it's not prog!" If you came out two years after the Crimson and took big inspiration from them, that's fine, "because it's still acceptable to take inspiration after two years." If you take inspiration from the Crimson fifteen or more years later, then it's not acceptable; you've crossed the limit allowed by prog law. The term "they copy from the old ones" is widely used, forgetting that 70% of the old ones lived by copying ideas from their contemporaries. In the end, it's no longer about the "beauty" of a record, but the release date. Never think that the opposite argument holds: doing progressive music in the mid-seventies also meant (in some cases, not all) creating the music that was fashionable at the time and following the trend? Being sheep, "Britney Spears with a flute"? Certainly not: until New Year's Eve 1976, everything was permissible, beautiful, and fragrant. But if at Carnival '78 you picked up a mellotron: life imprisonment. The discussion about pre&post '77 makes no sense even if it stays within the confines of prog, let alone if we consider all music. Many modern listeners of past music tarnish it, instead of thinking "progressive," they regress by a good 30 years, convinced that they are moving forward.

Ah, and he doesn't even go by Kaos One anymore, just Kaos. He lost the One almost twenty years ago when Radical Stuff disbanded. At SIAE, he has always been registered as Kaos (that’s it). He doesn't even know what he's called, and he even bets on it. Give us the money.

The beautiful thing is that the person who knows this the least is the one who’s talking. Can you imagine he says the track with Melma & Merda turned out well, but it’s not just one person, it’s actually the group Kaos. In the track, three people sing, but he doesn’t notice; to him, it’s just one guy. Then, as if that wasn’t enough, he says the track with Chico came out well. Besides the fact that Chico doesn’t exist, it’s a nickname chosen on the fly, but it’s Chico'Md, twisting Deda'Md, and the funny thing is that the guy is one of the three who sings in the previous track, but he didn’t even realize it’s the same person. It can’t get worse: he acts like a show-off, not knowing what he doesn’t know, and on top of that he’s deaf and doesn’t realize there are no guest appearances on this record; it’s always the same crew of buddies with different names. Reading the nickname already gave me bad vibes, but reading the review made them even worse. Tèrìbile. And then Kaos doesn’t even do drugs.
