Prozac + Miodio

I definitely liked your review, but a question arises spontaneously: to appreciate stuff like the punk-disguised power pop of Prozac+ (who, in my opinion, only reach a mediocre level with their first work), have you ever listened to bands like the Dickies or the Buzzcocks, from which Prozac+ heavily draw? I don’t know, but this album also seems like a repetition of the first one (which in turn was a somewhat polished copy of '77 bands); they don’t add anything and don’t take anything away, with the usual somewhat naive lyrics, which is fine, but quite banal, which is not fine.

I apologize, my view is very punkish; the most I can give you in terms of metal are Metallica by hearsay :p For hardcore, we're talking about the 80/85 range, which could only exist thanks to Dead Kennedys and even more so Minor Threat - if you notice, beyond the discussion of crossovers, Discharge uses the exact same "modus operandi" as MT, few repeated shouted words over simple chords that become manifestos of thought, in some way anthems. The difference is that MT ended up leaving 3 EPs, while Discharge has released several albums. Of course, these are just my personal evaluations.

Show me just one insult from me. Just one, please. Then I'll show you the plethora of insults that I've received _for no reason at all_. Even ballista? There's no end to the worst.

And for what reason? The only one is that they mixed metal and hardcore, without leaving particular marks, at least on the hardcore side. Among bands that invented hardcore and others that revolutionized it, I wouldn't say they are that important.

For me, despite the lyrics, it’s very pop, closely sticking to the song structure of verse-chorus-solo-chorus, with a few nods to the "crossover" trend that was so in vogue back then. Moreover, it’s very little Italian - people like the very early Litfiba, the first CCCP, the Negazione, reinterpreted what came from abroad in an Italian key; I really don’t see this in this album and in Afterhours in general. You’re Italian, you have the material, use it damn it. My 2 cents, obviously.

They get on my nerves like few other bands from that period. IMHO, Minor Threat easily surpass them. I don't even agree with the review; if Black Flag, Minor Threat, and Huskers are fundamental to hardcore, then what are they?

I agree with easycure 300%, I don’t like it either, the only piece that entertained me is "sui giovani d'oggi ci scatarro su," which isn’t bad (and self-referential? :)

BTW, I mocked you and the n-thousand blunders you spouted, you just insulted. Please, these attitudes clash with the obvious bitterness you’re indulging in, so much so that you’re still there nitpicking :) I repeat - get a real life, grab a nice backpack with some weed/beer/snack/12 lighters and go to the Vasco gathering, or follow the little guy “against the system” on Mediaset networks (another night), but avoid trying to pass your behavior off as detached, because nobody believes it, you’re so bitter that we could sing you the theme tune of Don Chuck Beaver :D

I see, out of the 4 you mentioned, you've got 2 wrong - and that doesn't change the fact that you still uphold the laughable theory that '68 is a movement that is only political and not musical. Let's leave it at that, okay? Happy holidays.

And what about '68, a political movement and not a musical one? You explain *to this guy* who Bob Dylan is and the chaos of artists from all over the world who got lost? Good luck :D
