The formula of b&s is so naive that the possibilities are few: a) you get a silly smile and feel warmed from within by anything you listen to from them [resulting in a loss of critical sense] b) they leave you indifferent if not annoyed c) yes yes, one CD is fine, maybe two, then that's enough.
There it is. I am in a). But the other positions are also perfectly legitimate.

Honestly, I know few groups that at this venerable age still have something to say. I wish all the expert musico-mathematicians and onanists were at the Ind.

My grandfather was handsome, my grandmother beautiful. They were so for themselves, with their faults and flaws...
But don’t you have the booklet? :PP

Damn, I had replied to you here but it was too long. I'll send you a private message, giuseppe. :D

Um, yes, sorry, I've been a bit mean...

I don't understand. Too juvenile? In the end, they only talk about that. It's the only theme. It's like saying that Rage Against the Machine were too politicized. Adolescence is treated as a peak moment of change, with its pros and cons. It's neither questioned nor mindlessly praised. It's described, just as it is. Then, as usual, there's a difference between immature lyrics and direct ones that may be a bit naive. Look for the lyrics of "La tempesta" by "Nuova identità," if not "Volo sulla mia città" or "Abito al limite." I will never stop believing that a song can be beautiful even if it wasn't written by searching for words on Devoto-Oli [marlene, afterhours, subsonica and company]. Furthermore, Piccolo intervento a vivo is an actual CD, their first one, which they decided to record live. It's Le origini, rather, that isn't a true CD, being the reissue of the old demo tapes.

Simplicity and banality are just a few centimeters apart. To confuse them is a flash. And then a text can be non-banal without being cryptic: "in the brief moments between / one kick to the teeth and the next / the truth can strike you / then it's gone with the next kick / what remains is the awareness / of having understood everything for / a moment / and, in relation to luck, / a few teeth remain."

Yes, indeed yes.

Deadly boredom. And then excuse me: hailed by the critics? Which critics?
The point is that I'm a kind of Pearl Jam + Dave Matthews Band without the balls of the former and/or the jazz flair of the latter. Or maybe I just said some nonsense and I'm saying this because Lewis's voice reminds me of Vedder and Matthews. Forgive me... ^^"

So. Apparently, Frantz, we have different ideas. The CD by Maroccolo and the one by Canali are indeed antithetical. The fact is, however, that Acau gave me the impression of a gigantic superstructure of sounds put there to hide a certain lack of ideas, and I was disappointed. The old story of starting from the outfit and then forcefully stuffing in the body. Canali's CD is simple, direct. Sometimes on the edge of banal, true. But he always avoids that, and the quality is pure. I think it did him good to hang out for a few years with the good Toffolo, who with TARM created a kind of monument to simplicity [2-3 chords]. Without too much mental gymnastics, which can sometimes be counterproductive [Acau]. Canali in D'anime e d'animali strings together myriad riffs in a single song. Here he is only able to offer us small variations on the same riff. Two souls, we said. It’s not said that one excludes the other.
