You're right, Jim, but the toughest one, in my opinion, is the last one, the one holding the drumsticks. He has such an angelic face that he wouldn't be able to kill a mosquito without bursting into tears. Ah, yesterday the mosquitoes kept me awake... damn bastards, the Most High should wipe them off the face of the Earth.

But then look at the cool poses they've taken in the artwork. I mean, hasn't anyone told them that glam rocker poses have been out of fashion for at least twenty years? Not to mention their clean faces. Can you really make true rock music with a baby face and the classic rich kid look? Can someone tell me of a worthy rocker with a clean face? Normally, I get a kick out of the posers and I enjoy tearing them apart. But these guys just make me feel sorry for them and provoke nausea.

The style reminds me a bit of Punisher, you want to see.... :)

Of course, I mean music that is not underground, because I am aware that there are many excellent bands both in Italy and abroad that do not have the proper visibility.

Come on, let’s admit it, this is the level of current Italian music and beyond. So all we can do is put up with these 4 clowns.

"Sex Pistols, Bauhaus, and others in the 70s elevated punk as a genre that was strongly rebellious and filled with meanings ranging from social struggles to the rejection of society."
Fabbiu, you've made three major inaccuracies in this sentence.
The first was mentioning the Pistols and Bauhaus together, two bands that have absolutely nothing to do with each other. Nothing at all, absolutely.
The second is that while Bauhaus does have some punk elements in their music (though not the Sex Pistols style), especially in their first album, their image and lyrics have nothing to do with punk—absolutely nothing. Bauhaus is theatrical, horrific, flamboyant, gothic, dark.
In short, they have nothing to do with the punk of "God Save the Queen" and its derivatives.
The third thing is that Bauhaus is not from the 70s at all, but from the 80s. Their debut "In The Flat Fields" is from 1980. The last one, "Burning From the Inside," is, if I'm not mistaken, from 1983.
I'm sorry Fabbiu, but these are clarifications that needed to be made; otherwise, someone who doesn't know who Bauhaus are might think they are comparable to people like the Pistols, Clash, Stiff Little Fingers, Buzzcocks, and the like, and that is absolutely not the truth. Best regards.

Something tells me that the anonymous comments above were all written by the same hand.
Well, I honestly can't understand.
It's one thing to mock Krystal for what she listens to, even though the critic above should, in my opinion, refrain from writing things like "idiot who listens to her," which is only a sign of rudeness and certainly not actual criticism.
It's one thing to debate with miles of posts about what is considered intellectually appropriate according to De Baser's standards and what should not be accepted because it's crap by definition.
But these comments made by the same person who, evidently, has some hidden grudge against the one who reviewed the album, are one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen.
As if she were a spurned ex-lover, ugh...
Maria, my judgment on the review is this: it's clear that you always write from the heart and focus especially on emotion but, if you want my advice, try not to exaggerate next time; otherwise, it can end up feeling very forced.
That said, I think it's only fair to raise your average, which was spoiled by a poor frustrated individual, by giving you the maximum. Bye.

Mediocre album.

One of the first cassette tapes I bought almost 16 years ago. Nothing special, but better than the Maiden albums after Fear of the Dark, much, much better. Hell on Wheels is the same as Back in Black.

A heartfelt thank you from a regular reader of your webzine ;-)
