No no, Blotter is a whole different sound dimension. Death To Music is more varied, more played, more "Album," one could even venture to say "objectively more valid"... but Blotter is just too sick, Blotter is the best, starting from the cover. The problem, Moon, is that your mom doesn't let you keep records with those covers at home; otherwise you would vote for Blotter too, admit it, come on.

I prefer Blotter and Death To Music, especially Blotter.

Cute record, I don't quite agree with the analysis :)

My favorite of the WRs, an absolute masterpiece.

I told you it was going to be 5, you can't give less than 5 if you listen to the genre, it's the Manifesto, it's the Bible of the Doomdrugged, there's no other, "Come My Fanatics..." the name says it all :D

Anyway, as a "Discoverer of Hot Water," the chubby guy is the best of all, "society oppresses us!" (Really?) "Rebel against the system!" (Oh, yes, and how, pray tell?) "We are all slaves!" (In what sense, chubby?)... he always speaks with clichéd phrases, spouting the usual big truths that all "anarchist" or similar groups say, with the small difference that he can't rap, is as ugly as sin, has an irritating voice, and lacks both meter and style. He is the militant rapper you find for dirt cheap at the supermarket, the bulked-up version of Public Enemy, the knock-off of Assalti Frontali, a revolutionary buffalo mozzarella, in two words: a total idiot.

The speech is all focused on the Coglionazzo, not on the 99 posse: Meg and company are all good artists, it’s the coglionazzo that ruins the mess. But is Plurilaureto really the fat guy? And in what? I’ve never heard anything like it, maybe I’m mistaken but I don’t think so. The fat guy is a coglionazzo, musically inept and useless: metrically flat, monotonous in content, and spouting judgments without having the right to. You’re the one who needs to argue your thesis, what’s so great about that idiot? We’re all united in a low profile of the fat guy, we don’t need to argue over what we agree on. Go to one of their live shows and all he knows how to do is say “fuckin' cops” and insult people who are just doing their job; he’s a colossal idiot, then he goes backstage to smoke, and those who attended the concert have to deal with the angry cops because of his insults. Tell us what’s so great about him? Why would he be a good rapper? Who gives him the right to judge and spout opinions like that? Why does he talk so much about acting and doing while he’s just a fat guy who spends his days smoking and making music? Why doesn’t he speak in Italian in interviews instead of that incomprehensible mix? What does he know about politics to have the nerve to talk trash and offend? Why do you say so much Peace & Love when he’s the one inciting revolt even with violent means in his songs? Why is he so violent that he sings "I Shoot on Sight" and similar tracks, only to take it all back with various "peace & love"? To me, he’s the biggest idiot in the Italian music scene, and I’ve seen him play at least 15 times from ’94 to 2000, explain to me what’s good about the piece of crap; maybe I’m the one who hasn’t seen it right.

No, Enea, don't worry, I was just joking about reviewing the Righeira. Anyway, I only know "Vamos Alla Playa Oh Oh Oh Oh!", and I thought all their songs were like that. If you're already talking about tear-jerkers, I'm out; thanks for the tip! :))

Stunning even Niun Niggung, oh, even Radical isn't bad, for once they took it easy, it may not be innovative but it’s still a really good album. There are very few bands that never miss like the Mouse in this field.

Eh, these are conversations that could fill a 30-page mental essay; the differences between the various derivations are minimal since it all ultimately comes from the '70s Hard Rock. Some have taken it to extremes in one way and others in another. In fact, on stonerrock.com, you can jump from a review of Astroniq to one of Krux, which are two completely different bands... but the root is the same. Today, I don't feel like getting into the nitty-gritty details. :D
