"Third, if someone thinks the album is crap, it's no big deal. If someone talks nonsense like Lux, I insult him." Oh my, this post explains so much: a) you reason like a little fascist. b) you're immature and attack others like a kid; you pretend to be a sophist but you don't know how to do it because you don't even have the firmness to support your opinion with respect, you resort to insults like a sports fan. c) That Lux is talking nonsense is your opinion: respect his. Which means that if you disagree, you discuss it with him civilly, you don't insult him. Does what he says make you angry? Apparently, it affects you, it takes the ground from under your feet, it destabilizes you. So you come with the know-it-all attitude to claim the lost ground. Do you think it's nonsense? You say: "In my opinion, the comparisons you made seem a bit exaggerated and unfounded, certainly stemming from an unfounded hatred for the album"... always better than "you shot out 300 pieces of nonsense, you don't understand a thing about music, you're an idiot, retire." Does kindness annoy you? Arrogance and rudeness annoy me. Isn't music a cold calculation on paper? When it comes to musical culture and the objective judgment of an album, of course it is. Let reason reign over emotion; otherwise, there's no difference from a Britney Spears fan. She could tell you the same thing: "It moves me, music is subjective," and then we shouldn't talk about it anymore. What music conveys is important for listening to it; what emerges from a reasoned analysis is important for understanding it. Children want the truth in hand and say "mine" because they need it: adult people think they don't have any truth in hand and engage in constructive and civil dialogue, from which something similar to the truth will emerge: facts. That facts come from opinions was also said by Socrates: Socratic dialogue, you must have studied it in school. Anyway, I followed the clash with Lux in the other review, another civil and constructive discussion, which helped me better understand the meaning of the universe and this little disc :-)

@19 lengths: you know, right, that Alemanno was a thug from the fascist squads of Rome (along with Storace)? From what you say, you seem to be the usual ignorant ape beating its chest, blind to the criminal filth of a certain right, because you only see the homeland and the "evil Romanians." Yet, you seem informed, even if you think like an ignorant person and spout nonsense, precisely like an ignorant ape... Plato said that there is the truth, which is reached by starting from different ideas and knowledge of different facts, and there is its opposite, which is already born as a priori truth, and then reuses ideas and facts to support and reinforce itself. In short: religion. Don't think to reach an ideal to believe in, but believe in order to think. Keep calling the master, and voting for Silvio, because like every ape, that's what you need: to be tamed.

"I personally find them perfect for background music in the elevators of shopping malls." I completely agree.

Chinaski, sorry to say this, but you're behaving like an immature and sensitive kid. Right from your first comment, you attack Lux: "And Lux, stop whining. Nobody asked you to listen to the album. If you hate it, we don't give a damn!" Let me get this straight: can only those who would give the album a 5 like you comment and rate it? Those who find the album pathetic can't rate it and say they hate it? How democratic of you. "If you hate it, we don't give a damn": and I could tell you that "if you love it, we don't give a damn either." Isn't it the same? You react like an impulsive kid, or rather like one of those adoring fifteen-year-old fans of Finley: anyone who thinks differently from you is an idiot? You're just the typical fan who would give a 5 to the entire career of Afterhours without even listening to it, just because it's them. Every post of yours is a vulgar and stupid attack, not to mention gratuitous and unprovoked. On the other hand, if your examples are Dream Theater and Pino Scotto (I’d like to understand what the connection is between him and a supposed "musical culture" you're referencing), no wonder your posts and attitudes come off as immature. Come on, let's grow up. This album is not a masterpiece, far from it: if you give this a 5, how much would you give to Dinosaur Jr.? 600? Sure, the national reality in terms of music is sad and backward as always, and we tend to highlight the few good things we have, but let's not exaggerate. Afterhours are a good band: not original geniuses who created who knows what, but a good band. They certainly deserve to be called "artists," but let's not exaggerate just because the national scene is a desert and when we see an oasis, it looks like the Atlantic Ocean. Regards.

yes.

Lux has sketched, yes yes.

Beautiful record.

How much idiocy...

An incredibly tedious, boring, cliché-ridden, recycled, filled with clichés, fake-romantic, syrupy film populated by good feelings and images of happy little families like Barilla commercials, the plot doesn’t exist: the whole movie is a two-hour evolution of a billboard. And Russell Crowe can’t act outside of portraying himself, and after twenty years he’s become tiresome...
