Dearest Fallen, first of all, I want to emphasize that the review is well-written, to avoid any misunderstandings. However, concerning your responses, I notice that by getting agitated, you are sinking into quicksand. Your cultured and polished writing cannot, however, gloss over, especially in such a sneaky way, this endorsement of hate. That it can be discussed is one thing, perhaps starting from a philosophical text or a historical writing (certainly not from those charlatans of Crystalium...), but to suggest that hate itself can be regarded as a "value" is another matter entirely. "Value" means a quality, a merit, a virtue, indeed something positive that we strive for. A principle, in short, an ideal! How can you elevate hate to value? Even sublimating it through war? I believe that these similar musical groups glorify this "hate," perhaps channeling (and economically exploiting) the "anger" of teenagers. That sense of rebellion we all have experienced at 16. But failing to understand the difference between this adolescent feeling and true hate is pure madness! Hate is something inhuman.

Nice concepts, Alfo. Well done, really. I fully endorse the first four lines. And from your review, this is an album that I might really enjoy.

But what does this phrase mean to you: "the Crystalium choose an aristocratic way of celebrating hatred, through topics like war, elitism, and philosophy"? Celebrating hatred in an aristocratic manner through WAR? Elitism? Philosophy (Je Suis Le Christ)? What sense does this make? Sorry, but what the hell is there to celebrate hatred through war?? I've heard a lot of things, but this, sorry to say, is revolting regardless.

It seems to me, or rather it is, a big bullshit.

Very good review, but reading it gave me a slight headache... now I'm going to listen to the album...

I DON'T AGREE! ENEA in Highly Recommended NOW! (Especially for the reference with the asterisk)

Francis, unfortunately your reply makes me interpret those lines in a different light and leads me to lower your grade, with no hard feelings.

Hi hi hi...... The review is mòtto mòtto bbuona. Francis, one thing seems superfluous and irritating (in my eyes), those "fottetevi voi stronzi"... or "odiosi capelloni" or the acrimony towards Doors fans. That doesn't work, Francis; the rest, however, I really enjoyed. Without those completely out-of-place insults, if it had just been your reasoning, I would have given you a full 5. As it stands, you drop down to a poor 4. This doesn't mean I agree with everything in the content, but I liked the way you think and write. You could have indeed kept those last 4 lines to yourself.

You are the Viva lì, Marco Poletti dixit, aka Marco Poletti? The one who hates blacks and gays?
Well, then it all makes sense...

This one almost slipped past me... thanks to the recommended reviews!! A top-notch Socrates. As for the album, I listened to it once in passing, and from what I remember, it was worth a 4.
