I have to say it, finally a sensible comment, so I will answer you seriously: the argument you are making is intrinsically flawed for the simple reason that obviously each of our posts is an opinion. But this is, I repeat, intrinsic. That mine may be arrogant and presumptuous, I can even admit it.. yours, however, are often absolutely inconclusive and lacking real content, this too, Lobo, is quite indisputable.. ; ) and so it’s hard for mine not to display presumption. Until next time.

What can I say? If you’d like, we can keep talking about the cures; it’s no problem for me. X lobotomized: you’re right, my joke wasn’t anything special, but that’s because your comment was quite dull.. do better and I’ll make sure to dismantle you properly as always, hehehe ; )

According to your reasoning, let's admit it, Robert Smith is not a singer. Okay, fine... but then neither is Joey Ramone a singer, nor Lou Reed, nor Syd Barrett, Iggy Pop, because all these are singers without technique, with a rough and unrefined voice, often even out of tune... yes, but I challenge any even slightly knowledgeable music enthusiast not to consider each of these singers absolutely essential, him and his bands, to the history of rock. The history of rock is not a history of technique, certainly not only that, equally certainly not mostly that... so your argument falls apart quite easily.

exactly, Giorgio.. you too haven't understood, or you're pretending not to understand.. I talked about the fact that Robert Smith makes use of particular scales without any pretentiousness or affectation. Read again. That's why I think Home is awful, while I really like Piggy in the Mirror or The Wailing Wall by The Cure... I won't add anything else. reread. it's all above. The fact that you think Robert Smith is not a singer is further proof that you understand what you want to understand. I said: there are two viewpoints, one technical, the other expressive, both at least important, and equally at least, the expressive one is FUNDAMENTAL. I said: if you take the expressive viewpoint into account, which is not the technical one, Robert Smith fits the band above, and very well.

Well done! Compared to what you knew before, it's already quite an impressive culture! ahahahahahah : D

lobotomized, poor thing, you didn't understand a damn thing.. or even worse, you understood, but since you don’t know a damn thing (further proof of your musical culture) you tried to twist what I wrote in a completely distorted way... your reasoning continues to be incomprehensible, but now in addition to being idiotic, it's also biased.. and I believe it, I repeat: probably you wouldn’t know where to start to provide a decent response : ) .. anyway, once again I point out that this review does not talk about the Cure. If you want to fill in other gaps, go read all the other reviews of the Cure and maybe intervene there. I’m glad, however, to have already helped you fill some in hehehe : D .. oh, right, I'm also happy to have suggested the nickname to you.. apparently you’re doing well with it hehehehehahahah : DD

sorry for the repetitions!

Boredom, the American indie rock of the '80s is also Sonic Youth, Yo La Tengo, Unrest, Dinosaur Jr., Flaming Lips, Replacements.. it's one of the most beautiful things that ever happened to rock :)

From all this, a very simple consideration arises, which also applies to the lobotomized person above who insists on taking up space with the usual nonsense :): if you like the technique, I couldn’t care less, keep your Dream Theater and your low regard for The Cure. If you tried to look at it from another point of view, I repeat, an INDEFENSIBLE point of view, The Cure totally outshine the DT, there’s just no contest.. ; ) Anyway, I don’t know why you have to bring up The Cure. I must assume it’s just to piss me off a bit, which doesn’t work, because I really enjoy filling in a few gaps for you about the history of music :-))) (this was directed at the lobotomized person, not Giorgio). But we’re talking about another group here, if I’m not mistaken... if you don’t have any arguments, it’s better to avoid writing ; )

Giorgio, don't descend into victimhood.. you know well that if I'm not forced, I never insult, so please avoid ; ).. that The Cure are not great musicians is a relative matter: 1) I repeat, it's obvious that they are not great musicians if by great musicians you mean the five "yeah, I went to Boston school" types... 2) For me, being a great musician is something else. I've already said this over and over again, Giorgio, to you many times, I think. To me, being a great musician is synonymous with expressiveness, and from this standpoint, whether you like it or not, Robert Smith totally outshines Petrucci and company on all fronts; they don't even come close, poor things... from atop their fussy expertise, they could very well take lessons in harmony, flair, and creativity in general from Robert Smith. Now, this is an undeniable fact: lesson 1) Robert Smith has written songs that are very different from each other, embracing various genres, without needing to rely on ten-minute pieces, tempo changes, and other pointless trinkets.. lesson 2) Robert Smith employs many particular scales in his pieces; just listen to "The Snakepit," "Icing Sugar," or "The Wailing Wall".. Arabesque harmonies, strange scales, all this without having studied in some crazy institution for performers, with great conciseness and humility, with lots of communication and expressiveness.
