NOOOOOO!! :-) I wasn't alluding to you!!! It's just that the first shitty 90s band that came to my mind to juxtapose against the "old stuff for wannabes." Sorry, unintended collateral damage. :-)

The usual omnipresent idiot who throws dirt on good music. The same one who talks about old music and pretentiousness while in reality he listens to Gorillaz or Robbie Williams...

"Who is" Abbey Road? It's a joke, right?

Yes are one of my great loves. Huge! I recommend to the anonymous one who mentioned "old stuff" to listen to Fragile and Close To The Edge, then he can tell me if he still thinks it's old stuff... there’s no band today that can play like them. An 18-year-old guy who works for my father, and who only used to listen to Rage Against The Machine and Sex Pistols, borrowed these two albums from me, along with a couple of Genesis and King Crimson records, and now... ask him what he thinks of Rage and the Pistols...

But look, I already have this record :-)))) !!! And I really deeply like it! Honestly, I have the original MC somewhere, and I can say I've thoroughly enjoyed it.

No, don djd, you misunderstood me, there’s no grudges and I’m rather relaxed. In fact, I wrote that I know your "forma mentis" and I didn’t say "I know you" precisely because so far I’ve only had the pleasure of conversing with you through brief writings, so I only know your reactions to certain stimuli. No, it’s not the case to say that I know you, even though I would like to, I can’t know either who you are or what you think of the world, apart from your musical tastes. I believe I was too presumptuous, my "filippica" wasn’t meant to delve into these topics. I was just limiting myself to a much simpler description of what I see. Byez!

Yes, perhaps it’s out of place, dear DJD. Also because I have known your mindset for over a year now, I stand by your comment. I deliberately placed the same comment in two "similar yet different" situations (reviews of... don't remember, sorry :o( ) to compare any developments of the writing. And I am now tired of anonymous comments (principle of self-responsibility). But I want to contradict you, dear DJD: I think this record is very violent! Violence understood as a violation of norms and peaceful existence. The very idea of juxtaposing "genres" of music that are so different, at opposite ends from each other, doesn't it seem to you like the juxtaposition of the sacred with the profane, or of black with white, or even the juxtaposition of a Pakistani from Bangladesh with an Indian from Bangladesh? It seems to me a desire to violate the "already" written, it seems to me a TRUE artistic revolution. Doesn't it?

Metal and its developments reflect more or less faithfully the social and moral crisis that the West has now fused with its own definition. We must not underestimate how well the musical reality aligns with the idiosyncratic reality that we experience. On the contrary, it is necessary to regain awareness that the solution is in our hands, under two conditions: 1. that we remember that man is both the cause and effect of himself (therefore, if a song incites violence, it cannot then be justified in the event of actual violence simply for being a song and not the factual reality) 2. that everyone is willing to accept the principle of self-responsibility (therefore, those who incite violent morals must bear the consequences). Everything else (statements like "metal-shit or only-absolutely-trash and so on) remains within the game of roles. There are times to joke, times to speak, and times to listen when someone speaks. Sometimes lowering the voice is a sign of intelligence, as it helps calm revolts. At the end of this speech, I have one last thing to say: metal-shit!!! :-)

Well, the characters are a bit too "grotesque"!
