Well, first of all, I really liked the rec, which is becoming increasingly rare these days (maybe because I read less, or maybe because I've gone blind, who knows?!). I've been devouring the album these days... what can I say, the impact left me a bit shocked, all these synthetic sounds, sometimes almost kitschy 80s, but, but... in the end, I like it a lot, I never would have thought they could bounce back from the abyss they had fallen into lately. Sometimes they remind me of Notwist or certain Morr. I don't think they can reach the heights of the past, but it sounds like an electronic Deserter, with the necessary differences, of course.

I'm instead somewhat downgrading this album; it has monstrous sounds, but Snail remains the one I enjoy listening to the most.

I ground it when I found it used (in Japan!) in 2004. I should give it another listen; today, I'm subjecting it to my creaky ears.

I was thinking about it these days, maybe it’s the album of the year for me right now! And damn, on October 23rd I’m trying Cesena, but what the hell is with a Thursday, then at 8 PM, is it some kind of rock 'n' roll aperitif?????

It's true, I didn't say anything about Funny Bird, which I also like. Damn, I have to say it's one of the few recs that I happily reread and I like how it turned out. Good times!

@Fottermeier: the Endless win the brutto award of the year. @realease & mukkio: cover bands were around when I was little too; in fact, I see that at least some now do strange covers (like a group of my friends had set up the Qozza cover band of QOTSA). I think the average musical culture should have increased. Back in the early 90s when I was in school, there was the same division (also because metal was the quintessential "rebellious" music at the time, the 80s punks had grown up, and the new generations were listening to metal and grunge), but it was definitely less easy to build a musical culture. MTV was far away, and although it shapes tastes, it also had programs like Alternative Nation in the mid-90s that allowed me to hear a lot of underground stuff. So if what you say is true, it’s even more serious now.

I also posted the video of the Soundgarden concert in Reggio in '95... total nostalgia moment!! Does anyone know if there exists a recording of the same concert by Kyuss?????????

But in fact, I was limiting the discussion to "rock," meaning I was excluding the electronic field, first out of ignorance, and second because perhaps it's the only musical realm where something new and at least evolved is produced. Of course, I've also found beautiful "rock" records, but not distinctive in a "general" sense. Moreover, my point wasn't along the lines of "things were better when they were worse," because for all the downsides of the horizontal diffusion of music, the upsides are definitely greater. Damn, I've benefited from it too; I'm certainly not spitting in the plate I eat from daily!

Hello to those gathered. What can I say, I was losing the desire to write a few lines about this album, maybe because compared to how much I loved it when I first heard it, for just as long I didn’t feel like putting it back in the player. But in the end, it’s interesting; taken in small doses, it has some pretty good gems. Then I read that the band is made up of employees from the defunct Grand Royal, and that's fantastic.

I read the review and I don't agree with almost anything, especially the idea that Mellon is the manifesto of the Smashing.
