imho: ass >>>>>>>>>>>>>> tits

But didn't they come 10 years before them? If anything, it's the pixies who are imitating the B52s (but I don't think so, they seem like completely different things)... I don't know, maybe I'm getting confused...

What are the B52s doing on a page about the Pixies?

"With 'Come on Pilgrim' as a bonus, it's the best indie-rock album ever." <<< mmmmmmmm ;-)

Well, the review doesn't say much to me, I find it too brief... the album contains some memorable tracks, however, I prefer the EP "Come on Pilgrim" and the subsequent "Doolittle," which are drier and overall more inspired... I got a broken faaaace ah ah ah ah...

hello mopyyyy :-**** ;-D

To avoid misunderstandings, I wanted to clarify a few things... I believe that reducing everything to a discourse of "I like vs I hate" leads to a desiccation of how we live and (why not?) judge music... precisely because reality (both musical and otherwise) is complex, multifaceted, and therefore "relative", one cannot accept the trivialization of an opinion about a band by channeling it into a dichotomous system where on one side stands what is liked and on the other what is not... there are countless nuances that cannot be overlooked... nuances not only at a quantitative level (I like it a little, I like it a lot, I like it enough), but also at a qualitative level (it fascinates me, it makes me feel good, it excites me, it intrigues me, it gives me chills)... one can experience different types of satisfaction in listening to an album... there is not just the epidermal pleasure that only one’s favorite songs can provide; there is also a type of "intellectual" pleasure, which can be (for example) that of encountering a work that has had a certain importance in a given context... for instance: I don't find Bitch Magnet particularly moving, but when I listen to them I feel a sort of pleasure in realizing that at times they remind me of Husker Du, at other times of Slint (two very different bands from two distant eras), and thus they serve as a lens to understand the transition from one era to another... one last thing regarding innovation: do not hope to be able to COMPLETELY separate the concept of "beautiful" from that of "original, unusual, particular", as many albums are liked precisely because they propose sounds and atmospheres we have never heard before... if, absurdly, all albums were the same as each other, music would be deathly dull...

"A nice debate came out, and I hope it continues..." <<< and indeed, it has continued! :-) @Blackdog: "I don't know li Stick Men, i'm sorry but sono funk-punk como Gang Of Four?" <<< more, more! much more smomballanti... @Ghemi: actually, I didn’t explain myself very clearly... I meant to say that the Maffia worked a lot at the console, manipulating the sound with a whole series of techniques, while the Stick Men were still a rock band that did few overdubs: however, the effect you experience when listening to the Stick Men is what you would feel in front of artificial music, made with a computer (that's why I wrote "fatta di microchips")... it’s digital music disguised as funk-rock...

@Flinstone: by "no catharsis" I mean that the Stick Men are a bundle of tightly wound nerves, leaving no room for catchy choruses, walls of sound, pogo rhythms... in short, all those things that, when listening to them, make you feel good and give you moral comfort... in the Stick Men, the music is so fragmented, disconnected, and discontinuous that it prevents such an effect... you are right about the humanitas: I stopped studying Latin in 2001... @Bjorky: slsk... @Emofiliaco: since time immemorial, Debaser has been the realm of relativism and subjectivism... it's on scaruffi.com and ondarock.it that you can find a more absolutist and objectivist approach... moreover, I agree with your discourse on "relative relativism"... @Fest: I too prefer the Minutemen over the Stick Men... when I said "the peak of funk-punk," I meant to support a position like "funk-punk to the nth degree"... I wasn't talking about quality or emotions... thanks everyone, a good debate has emerged and I hope it continues...
