Enkrist, I think you're a genius. This review is one of the most beautiful I've ever read; it feels like reading Lester Bangs. Phenomenal!

Here, exactly what I was saying. It might be different, but come on, it’s really a pain to find any interesting discussions... and then I’m the fool for having "emigrated" to Ondarock... regarding the issue of disputes, just because I was involved in flame wars doesn’t mean I was actually interested in debating those matters... the truth is I respond out of courtesy, but frankly, I've always done everything to avoid unnecessary controversies. Now I’ve taken a stand simply because I believe that if anonymous posting were banned, things here would be much better... it’s just a suggestion, then everyone can do as they please; I don't count for much around here (even if I should).

A reflection of mine: on several occasions, I have been criticized for advocating greater strictness and control in forums, comments, etc. In the end, my advice was simply to disable the ability to post anonymously on the site once and for all... I believe that would suffice.
Indeed, I was right: the issue of insults and childishness that have long plagued Debaser (and irritate anyone who reads them) cannot certainly be resolved by eliminating a playlist. Here, too much freedom has been granted, and the sense of moderation has been lost: I repeat, it would be enough to ensure that only authenticated users can post on the site to address this problem to some extent, regardless of the fact that I find Enkrist likable. The level of discussions here has embarrassingly declined, and it is a logical consequence of a whole series of behaviors that have been accepted and often even encouraged. I'm saying all this without wanting to engage in controversy, as I honestly have never been interested in the disputes concerning me, let alone those of others. However, if Debaser truly becomes "un mercato del pesce," then don't keep complaining with a scapegoat, because it doesn't serve any purpose at all.

Enkriko, I really like the way you write. You have a sense of humor that I find truly phenomenal; each of your reviews is something special, and I must say I devour them, regardless of whether you talk about the albums you're reviewing or not. I don't want to take credit that I don't deserve, but I believe that in a way your writing style reminds me of that review on Jeff Buckley that I wrote some time ago, which of course received much more violent and obtuse reactions than those you get for your reviews. Rest assured, you have talent, and that's coming from someone who doesn't easily give compliments :)

Thank you for the compliments. The bizarre thing is that there were bands in the '70s in England that sold a ton of records (besides T.Rex, some other names are Mud, those behind the famous "Tiger Feet," or Slade) and then miserably vanished, forgotten by everyone... the list would be long; I am doing quite a bit of research on this. The world of past bubblegum music is filled with shocking and elusive successes and disastrous falls into the abyss of loneliness and despair, despite the cheerfulness of those songs. One only needs to think of the telling story of Gary Glitter, a national pop idol turned front-page monster. It's almost worth opening a dossier...

I can only say that I am happy to have been born in 1980 and to have been 14 years old when this album came out...

Well, honestly I believe that between 1974 and 1976 the BCR got more girls than all of us Debaser users combined in a lifetime : )

This review is also mine. I don't understand, and yet I write my nickname when I submit... I apologize for this inconvenience, there must be some technical issue or some mistake on my part.
