crazy stuff: they write boring reviews about super famous artists, and they even vote on them. Giving them a 5, goodness!

the comparison with the XTC served another purpose: in Italy, when we talk about that period of English music, they always bring up the Police. I just said that in that same period there were other bands that were just as (if not more, in my opinion, interesting): XTC, Gang of Four, Talking Heads, The Fall, P.I.L., Wire.....should I continue?? It would be interesting if the intelligentsia of debaser dedicated a few reviews to these as well, instead of yet another review of the Police and Sting...that’s all. If someone prefers to indulge in the comforting revisit of the familiar, good for them!

Indeed, Young from "freedom" to "mirrorball" didn't miss a beat, but I don't mind some of his more recent stuff either, like "greendale". Spot-on review, "throw your hatred down" is a punch in the gut.

Dear "Sulcitano sprite," no polemic wrecking: everyone expresses their opinion. If you didn't like the tools even 10 years ago, you don't know what you missed. With respect!

You've really outdone yourself: if these are the reviews recommended by the editors, we're in for a rough time....

Yes, zion, it’s very beautiful.....even better than the original. Thank you all for the compliments.

Interesting note, I really love J Mascis and these references seem to fit perfectly. Well done!

too derivative, but not bad.

Uhm, sermon sounds to me like something monotonous and terribly boring. I don't think it was a compliment. Anyway, I didn't question the validity of Heroin, far from it. I just wanted to highlight the intrinsic strength of a visionary, hallucinatory, and paranoid text: in this sense, it fits into a trend very much frequented by the best minds of the time. I added that - in my personal and debatable opinion - in that category, Neil was the best. Although he is usually remembered for other things, as Pocahontas pointed out, Neil wrote many of the darkest pages in rock history. I'm also on board with Cobain.

This is certainly a transitional work as I wrote, but in the best sense of the term. An album that serves as a bridge between two glorious eras in Neil's career. But it is not that mediocre record that official historiography claims. As in every transitional album, part of it connects back to the past (many songs link to the folk repertoire of Buffalo Springfield while "the old laughing" broadens the scope of "broken arrow"/"expecting to fly"). Another part explores new solutions. Not everything succeeds perfectly; otherwise, it would have been a masterpiece. But there are at least 4 classics. On "last trip to tulsa," I align with Pocahontas's opinion. The comparison I made was to highlight and place in the right perspective what I consider one of the peaks of Young's production. Far from being a sermon, it’s a page of pure poetry. It would be like saying that Heroin is the rambling delirium of a drug addict.
