BUT WHY WRITE 800 REVIEWS ON AN ALBUM IF YOU THEN HAVE TO WRITE THESE MEAGER 4 LINES? You've seen that there are at least 5 reviews of this album, so why do you insist on writing 14 skinny lines if that's all you have to say? Instead, comment on the reviews of others. The average length of my interventions is longer than the length of the lines in your review... the CD is cute anyway, "la guerra è finita" is very interesting for its lyrics and music even though they were playing it on MTV today...

Title track absurd, disarming speed, unimaginable improvisational style... what a great musician and what a great job. These are people who study 18 hours a day, at the very least!!! I think it's incredibly difficult, and a test for every jazz musician to tackle this divine piece.

One of my favorite albums. I listened to it for the first time all at once, and since then I’ve never been able to do without it... The lyrics are an absolutely stunning and obscure poem, the music indescribable... a great rock masterpiece, in short... and all this stuff deserves this miserable review? Alright, I’ll be nice today... 2 for the review.

I bet that almost all of those defending these guys, judging by what they write, are adolescents, as the author of the review rightly pointed out X-D. Anyway, it's absolutely unjustifiable to trash an album without having listened to it in full first. So, I listened to it carefully before dismissing it X-D... and I came to the conclusion that the album isn't bad at all. Some tracks often tend to chase after the catchy chorus, but the singer is good, the lyrics are just provocative enough and well-written, the music is energetic... The bassist, despite what Karlee says, is really weak (I tell you this as someone who plays the bass) and the rest of the band doesn't particularly excel in technical skills (except for the singer who sometimes hits certain high notes), but the overall combination of the members creates a good sound. What somewhat ruins the whole thing is the excessive commerciality of this album and the band in general, or rather the overly catchy nature of some songs that make your favorites a consumer product for MTV. And that's a shame because some things are good, especially on the previous album. The comparison with Avril is absurd because she is truly undefinable, while MCR has more or less a personal style, in a sense that distinguishes them, even if only slightly, from the rest of MTV's creations. An album that doesn't excite me but can have a certain charm, and the songs at first are hard to get out of your head... interesting emo and nothing more than what others have already done.
I already know that after this review I'll risk being lynched (even though I haven't spoken badly of the album, some statements might not sit well with you), but please try to provide constructive criticism... not the kind like "hey idiot, you don't understand anything, die under a train" or even better "your mother can only give blowjobs to Gee," because otherwise I’ll stick to my opinion and you to yours, and there would be no exchange of ideas that should happen on this site... bye everyone.

I prefer the central part of The Musical Box. Then I go crazy for Harold the Barrel, because it really feels like a theatrical scene. The Fountain of Salmacis has a spectacular beginning, considering it was made in the 70s when effects were really hard to pull off... The review is nice...

Wow, what a beautiful review! You can tell it's inspired and not just a review written for the sake of it. The album is my favorite in the prog genre after Nursery Cryme. Truly a masterpiece.

What a shame this review is. Honestly, I didn't catch the connection between 1995 and 1967. I listened to this record at 14 years old, and I think I understood more things back then on the first listen than you do now. Anyway, the record is stunning.
