I agree with Nick, the sentence is very nice. The only thing missing is the vote (maybe he forgot). Other than that, it’s a rather original review, but still a review.

Let’s collect all these reviews and make a book out of them.

I would be tempted to be scandalized, but fantasy of any kind excites me. And in the imagined review, there is indeed a lot of it. If Borges were alive and interested in music, he could have written it himself. And with the reviews of all these invented albums, he would have composed an Illusory Encyclopedia. I don't think that's a bad idea; the important thing is not to overdo it and not to fall into banal vulgarity...

Since we are citing De Andrè so much, why doesn't someone take the plunge and write a review of one of his albums? It doesn't seem right that there's none on De-Baser. I would propose "Non al Denaro, Non All'Amore, Ne al Cielo." Is there anyone brave enough? Or "Creuza de Ma"?

Don't worry everyone, I won't say another word about what happened. Hi everyone. Even to Fallen.

Alright, peace peace. Anyway, I'm also for the party of imagination and against conformity. After all, you should have figured that out from my taste in music/reviews and my own nickname. By the way, you’ve piqued my curiosity. How old is de-baser?

And then my first comment did not offend Fallen AT ALL but at most that kind of music and giving it excessive importance. I even added that maybe at his age I was like that too.

In vain, I should have written "given what is written in his profile." And he, down there, defines himself, albeit implicitly, as a victim of his parents, saying (word for word): "A few months later, he watches a film that his radical Catholic parents had never allowed him to see: 'The Crow'."

Clearly, the list that includes Nick Cave, Tom Waits, etc., should also add the writers/poets mentioned at the beginning of the review. And then, as psychopompe VERY ACCURATELY points out (YOU'RE GREAT), pay attention to the INTERNET. If you search well, you might even find that the person responsible for the attack on the twin towers was Ugo Foscolo...

I didn't want to offend anyone's sensitivity (Fallen seems to be a person who needs to be understood, and if what he writes is true, he seems more like a victim of "extremist Catholic" parents), nor anyone's musical tastes. I have actually never listened to the music on this CD. The reason I opened the review and continued to read it was because I was curious. However, I was immediately shocked by that downpour of BANAL violence, with the slightest trace of detachment or irony. So I tried to compensate and lighten everything up, possibly in a superficial way. Sorry. I have no prejudices against shocking things and the dark side of human nature. I love a film like A Clockwork Orange by Kubrick. It is violent, sometimes even intolerably so, but it is never banal and, above all, it does not shy away from certain moments in which it is also ironic. Themes tackled by other artists/bands can also be dark, suffocating, and disturbing (I think of Nick Cave, Primus, the previously mentioned Tom Waits, Nick Drake, yes, him too, listen to Black Eyed Dog). Just because of that, I don’t shy away from this type of music. But the fundamental thing is that, if they can't laugh at themselves, at least they manage to NEVER BE BANAL. It’s the algebraic sum of banality, absence of irony, and in this case also violence that concerns me.
