About tastes :)

So bad. But does this stuff really last more than 4 listens?

It doesn't matter if you're a Pistols fan (how ugly :D) or a Clash fan; we're not bitols and rolling stones, what matters is evaluating things for what they are. I read the lyrics; maybe you haven't read the lyrics of all the other bands in that vein, from Buzzcocks to X-Ray Specs, or my favorites, the Avengers. In the "rebellion at all costs" thread, the lyrics tend to resemble each other, at least in my opinion. For instance, given that the albums are quite similar, at least in intent, an inflammable material simply outshines this record in terms of lyrics, anger, attitude, *music*, and power. As far as I'm concerned (and I have very few pretensions of objectivity), the Clash have high highs and low lows. This is among the lows, alongside honestly terrible records like Cut the Crap and Combat Rock. The discussion for the Sex Pistols is different; they only made one album... I have a soft spot for them, but more for Rotten than for the Sex Pistols as a whole.

Yes, and black people have rhythm in their blood :p I'm just saying that for me this album seems to contain the remnants of The Clash and London Calling, a halfway point that isn't particularly successful. It's the usual discussion then; if this is a 4 compared to London Calling and Sandinista, how much do you give it, 12?

I don't agree, bland record and pretty boring, if you take away the few good songs. This is only better than Combat Rock, and far from the debut, or London Calling, or Sandinista, just in terms of quality. I have a feeling they weren't so convinced of being punk anymore :)

5 for Reproduction and 4 for Dare. The HLs are essential for the more electronic wave; among other things, an album like Travelogue made Depeche Mode's fortune.

A gigantic huh.

A century ago, I was the PR for Tempo in the Mantua area. Now I don’t go there anymore, too many limp bizkit.

Here we go again.

Oh yes, like the Skiantos, the PPB was "against everyone"; back then, it allowed for a lateral move without aligning with factions. Il Tempo Rock, for those who don't know, belongs to the father of Kranio's wife (it's a bit convoluted, but it makes sense, I swear).
