THE REVIEW

Since I'm banging my balls.
Since I'm alone in the house with the air conditioner on.
Since I don't feel like getting pissed off with the PlayStation, but when the hell is the CPU of P.E.S. 5 so strong:
Since there are no more anonymous comments.
Since I've read 100 DeReces in a row.
Since and despite Korn.
Since I would like to co-review something with four hands, but I can't find the inspiration.
Since I tried at Geppetto's.
Since I read the reviews of "La Libertà" and also those of "Anal Cunt".

BLUES


There are men who touch money as if it were energy/ men who lose their true voice very early in life/ who speak about things they have never seen in their life/ millions of men whose (other men) have destroyed their bodies, modified their dreams, possessed their consciences, in exchange for artificial light/ men who worship science as if it were god and name god as if it were true/ and have entrusted their own bodies to the magical universal power of universal information/ men hidden under a flag/ and like children betray themselves and others out of fear/ who watch television only 5 minutes a week/ and for this feel better than other men/ but still fail to put an end to it/ men who talk about art as if it were nature and look at nature as if it were a painting/ men who defend Yugoslavs, Indies, Puerto Ricans, Africans, Indians/ this way they kill them/ there are young men who enter "social centers" like in a church/ and I don't understand them/ old men crying abandoned and die alone everywhere in the world/ but there's really nothing we can do/ men who speak about soul reincarnation spirit/ and don't even know what the fuck they are talking about/ men who detest this society and already have the new rules ready/ but they will have to use weapons, as always/ there are millions of men who have lost their reason out of fear of loneliness/ loneliness that oppresses/ loneliness that expands the mind/ loneliness that is the melancholy of all the world's consciences/ loneliness that is a strip of blood left by the angel in the night/ loneliness that humiliates power and makes its idols crawl at my feet one by one/ loneliness that is power of the body, natural light, and need for love/ loneliness that is stopping being afraid/ loneliness that is the end of god’s reign/ everything on this earth is kept under control/ machines, men/ millions of men, human beings locked up in prisons and asylums/ in Milan like Tehran Los Angeles Johannesburg Cuba Japan/ and we can't save them/ each of us can try to save ourselves/ there are men who continually worry about other people's wars/ this way they hide their own war inside each of them/ men who sing words whose meaning is the death of imagination/ who play ethnic music because in their veins flows the blood of missionaries/merchants and soldiers and like them think a new order of the world/ men who invented the word "art" through which they control and divide/ human beings invent catalogs of emotions and produce holy wars/ art whose concept belongs to those who created it/ to those who possess more fierce weapons and wider power/ you will have to fight to establish yours and it is not a joke/ men who invented mental illness/ psychiatrists, people who treat brains on behalf of the government/ and to prove it they destroyed the brains of millions of human beings/ and so they invented drugs, addiction, madness, psychotropic drugs/ they invent good and evil/ and keep every plant or flower on this planet under control/ and they invented one single possible mind/ and then you become incurable/ intellectual men who spend time rummaging in their pockets/ one with the other/ men who collaborate with the government/ reading newspapers/ listening to the radio/ watching television/ playing with the computer/ men who talk about deadly tobacco/ and not a word about the radioactivity it contains/ men who wear uniforms/ weapons in their pockets/ and are scary because they have absolute power/ because there are millions of them around the world/ and they have the best weapons/ and they all agree/ because they are an organized army to defend the "great machine"/ crowds of people open up when they pass with their sirens/ high speed/ and then the wings close silently/ no one can speak/ Big Brother listens/ they are scary/ because they seize men they don't even know/ and they do it on behalf of others/judges directors of asylums and prisons/ Nazis/scientists/secret agents/communists/and they can do whatever they want with me/ but I keep thinking that/ they are all a single band of monsters/just like the Christians/the Jews/the pacifists/the Buddhists/the ecologists/ the worshippers of Satan's ass/the Indian princes who killed old horses with clubs/and everyone else /who always represent something else, never their own desperate self/ I look at the moon through the trees and I see/ the millions of human beings, my companions on this earth/ but how can I distinguish them if they have only one expression/ how the hell can I understand the words if they don't speak/ how the hell can I distinguish the earth from the sky if they continue to move them/ I have changed the world has not changed/ here around me everything pronounces its true name/ why not the men/ why not the damn banks that use my money to finance wars/science fiction research/ and that money is not mine/ why not the completely crazy scientists/ who fly into space like vultures/ why not the Catholic Church/ that tonight December 24'95/renews its power over the world/ why do I feel detached from the earth/ and far from the sky/ and gold chains at my feet/ millions of men/ who together are a single animal/ fat and unbalanced/ with aluminum skin/ no muscles or bones/ only the heart bone/ who do not understand/ that the world exists beyond any state and politics/government and religion/ it is like telling the truth about yourself without feeling lost.

Now that the CD is over, I should comment but does it help anything?

Summary by Bot

Fausto Rossi’s Blues is an intense, poetic album that explores themes of loneliness, societal control, and existential struggle. The reviewer reflects deeply on the album’s messages about human despair, the facade of art, and the pervasive influence of power. Despite its heavy themes, the album receives a full rating for its raw honesty and thoughtful critique. The review itself reads as a meditative and powerful monologue that resonates beyond the music.

Fausto Rossi

Italian artist known in these reviews for radical stylistic shifts: from electronics and minimalism to stripped, abrasive rock and blues-rock, often with intense, poetic, and confrontational lyrics.
