Rocky, the experts responded that they only know of BabE Ruth, the English band, who played Hard Rock with some Prog Inserts. The best album is "First Base" from 1972, and while the others aren't terrible, they are not essential.

"Be Thankful For What You Got" is the coolest video in the world, I saw it for the first time on DVD, and when I watched it, I understood why they don't play it on television; it's still ahead of its time even today, 14 years later.

Ah, as a musician, it’s not so bad after all; it’s true that he stands out from the usual blecchemettal crowd. Of course, it doesn’t take much.

The scar lies in McDonald's (just a random example) in Oslo, in fashionable pants, and in everything that is "Western consumerism." He is fully into "Wolves, Forest & Double-Headed Axe, we live by hunting and fishing and we're too traditional." What’s funny is that the equipment he uses is produced in America. He sings about a "return to Viking origins" using American technological means of production, and to top it all off, he uses (in this I'm not sure, in others I am) the Drum Machine, not even a drummer, just the Drum Machine. There's a little hole in his theories, isn't there?

It's the pairings that give it the Bbanggoll style. A piece that stretches for 2 minutes + a 4-minute soul digression. Taken one by one, they don't quite stand up, but the albums must be enjoyed in their entirety :). Of course, they couldn't do the songs one at a time fully in Bbangoll style, because otherwise the record label wouldn't have released it, and also because the other members wouldn’t have done a thing. However, in the end, the album taken as a whole in its variety is quite Bungle, and it is the most "alien" in the FNM discography; the things done in KFADFFAL were neither done before nor after, but only with Trey. Patton tried; the bbanggoll sold poorly, and he attempted to create a bbangolization of FNM, but he didn't pull it off (even though for many, the album is the best of the bunch) for various reasons, including sales.

And why are Ricochet, Evidence, Star A.D., Caralho Voador, Take This Bottle, King For A Day, The Last To Know, Take This Bottle, Just A Man... not super-melodic and syrupy ballads? For that reason, I don’t consider it to be a stretch, because the stretched-out songs are in clear minority: 9 out of 14 are ballads, it’s the softest album by FNM. And it’s precisely the stark contrasts in the tracks on the tracklist that make the album quite Mr. Bungle; you go from Gentle Art Of Makin Enemies to Star A.D., a more abrupt transition than that is impossible. FNM more or less had their style (in A.Dust the only ballad is the cover of Easy, but it’s obviously a cover), with Trey’s arrival there was a clear shift and a much greater openness to other genres than in the past, a tendency to play decidedly Bangolosa. After Trey left as well, this came out which is like a summary of the various periods of FNM, not a bad album on its own, but compared to the previous genius it’s just a spit :)

Ah, well, Cacavolante = Mike Patton's mailing list. (I always assume that everyone knows everything about His Majesty :D)

"The news of Patton APPEARED on Cacavolante..."

Yes, yes, the news about Patton on Cacavolante in the last days of 2004 was mentioned by Del Naja at the end of a tour in South America for Danny The Dog. Maybe now there’s some more concrete news, I never check them, but when it’s a super scoop like this, they send it to me. Another thing I don’t understand is why that awesome Danny The Dog didn’t get any attention, does it only appeal to me and Cleo? It’s an album by Massive Attack in every sense, you know. (even if it’s a One Man-Band)

Boh Zion, I’d say no: the first 5 tracks are in full Massive Style, then comes Roberto saying "Hello, Tricky is gone, these will be the new Massive Attack, take it or leave it." And the next one, 90% of the time, will likely be more in the style of the second half of 100th in my opinion: more delirious, crazier, more extreme and countercurrent. It’s no coincidence that in the upcoming album there will be the presence of His Majesty Michele l'Alano Pattone, delirious and extreme like few in these years, and wherever Pattone goes, there’s always a turning point, positive or negative depending on the case but still a turning point, just look at Medulla by the pornonana. As Miles Davis said, "either you change and evolve, or you die" (or something like that, but the gist is there). We spend a lot of time saying about many albums "the band recycles itself, this is the usual album by this band, I’m fed up with the usual stuff"... and when someone turns the corner every now and then, we then say "well, I preferred it before." In my opinion, after someone churns out one or two masterpieces, an expectation is created that is so immense it can never be satisfied, as happened with 100th. Now, for example, I am waiting for the new Tool album, and there were already people who, having discovered them with Aenima, complained about Lateralus (and it takes a lot to complain about Lateralus, huh). With this new one, at the very least, all the new little Lateralus fans will pop up to pass judgment on the new work just because it will be different from its predecessors. Instead of praising those who seek to go beyond, many always say "things were better when they were worse." ;-)
