The Punisher

Maybe you're right. I'm just lazy.

"What should we say then about so many other damn little groups that produce 1 successful teenage album??"
We should say whatever we feel is right to say. An album that's been captivating me lately is Murcof's titled "Remembranza," just to name one, but I shouldn't be the one to PROPOSE it (as Sfaciacarrozze rightly pointed out to me). My name is Punisher, not Proposer...

Well done PuntiniCAZZpuntini, that's the way to go... punish anyone who's getting on your nerves and then it'll just be the two of us... no mercy, no chance of redemption, go in hard and you'll see, there will be only one left... Regarding massimof's comment, I'd like to ask you if you've ever dealt with "really nasty" women, right?? Then I understand you...

PuntiniCAZZpuntini is another one who, if you mention "enthusiasm," calls me vulgar, sexist, and misogynistic, only reading what he wants to read and not what is actually written... it's clear that they don't give it to me, but it's just as clear that I never ask anyone for it. I'm married, with children, and I consider myself a pretty serious person who speaks my mind. Nothing strange, right? Or am I not "up" enough, kosmo?

Kosmog... when you say "to close a circle, liberating and resolving, in time to prevent him from making more mistakes," that’s YOUR consideration, YOUR deduction that wasn't, nor is it written, in my intentions, and it takes a fair amount of cynicism to think what you thought. Of course, death comes when it comes, but I liked to think (with a hint of romanticism) of something mystical connected to a Mission of a higher being on this planet. Perhaps I exaggerated, but from there to portray me as someone who "usurps the right to judge Miles' death" seems to me to be a cruelty and a gratuitousness beyond measure (and I couldn't expect otherwise from a new Rottermajer - as you called yourself some time ago).
As for massimof: that you respond offended by old posts doesn’t surprise me; what seems odd is that you accuse me with comments like "there's a need to be 'heavy,' a bit 'rude' in a review like this one of Davis, which I would dare to say is polite and light, with peaks of good manners." You probably always jump in without reading the reviews carefully (like Kosmog, who only reads in snippets) when giving "gut" responses... sure, I am complex and "rough," but there are quite a few strange people here (and maybe that's exactly what I like about DeBaser, right?).

Ah Nickghost, I almost forgot... you said "Can you write until you're 50 and not after?" but I wasn't talking about writing, I was talking about MAKING MUSIC. In fact, I'll tell you more... perhaps writing should be something to aim for around 50 years old, to avoid writing silly little novels, half-baked Aldonian crap, or biting pamphlets for spinsters who go shopping in NY and a thousand of these daily absurdities, useful only to some shady Amazonian fixer who clears more and more trees this way...

Great album this. I'm not too familiar with the ones that came after, but even the covers (similar to this one) say a lot...

Dear NickGhostDrake, first of all, I never said that an album "sucks, period," and I challenge you to find a similar phrase in all my reviews – Neil Young made an album that is a photocopy of the various Harvest/Comes a Time/Harvest Moon, so it's nice, charming as you want, BUT STUFF THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE in the famous first 5 albums – I said about PJ that "I find them honest just as I find them honest" where, however, you add "... and I continue to follow them" while I stop at the first albums because, in my opinion, they have reheated the soup they knew how to cook excellently – When I say "bland," I mean boiled songs, with little flavor, lacking both bite and rage and originality but with an underlying nihilism that often veers into the pathetic – To CeCe65: but go ahead and watch all the Dylan you want, my mother says that Clark Gable is the best and still watches "Gone with the Wind" for the 20th time (and I haven't had the courage to tell her he's dead, you know how it is... she's at that age...)... to each their own preferred deviations, right?

In my personal Olympus of favorites, there are about twenty artists that I have no interest in sharing with anyone (I'm a "punisher," not an "adulator"). The reviews from adulators, those optimistic, positive, or enthusiastic ones, I leave to my alter ego who, coincidentally, reviews the albums that I also like. Not always...
To Kosmogabri: I expressly ask you to stop reading my reviews... your comments, trendy candy, so cool and always up-to-date, that hate "normal" phrases but are always ready to scour sites with a red marker for spelling horrors (I can already picture all those screens smeared with marker), humiliate my soul and give me a measure of the low level reached by humanity, especially that of the opposite sex. Look: leave me alone and let's end it here, without rancor. If I'm not mistaken, you privately begged me for the same thing, right?

Unfortunately, I have to agree with MrNobody: Jan Garbarek has somewhat eased off, and his latest "In Praise Of Dreams" is weak and lackluster... this Rites is the last album of Jan that I'll save along with a few collaborations.
