LA RECENSIONE

It seems that the kids my age always fall for it.

Every two months a music band is born and then disappears, vanishing into thin air. Now it's the turn of Finley, a group led by the puppet master Paolo Cecchetto, manufactured at the drawing board. I can't find anything new in these Finley fake punk wannabes pseudo-alternative emo, their songs are built on simplistic, approximate lyrics that glorify popular rebellion. They are copying the real fathers of punk like Agnostic Front, Sex Pistols, etc. No way. I believe that even the puppet master who launched them must be complaining about the poor sales, they say they don't harm anyone, right???

Music is art, poetry, etc. We’ll see if one day it will return from the heights, who knows. They don't harm anyone? In my opinion, yes, they do—harm to the culture of young Italians.

 As predicted by God, the Finley will be worse than the plagues of Egypt for Italy.

 Noise pollution will reach the stars, and after hearing one of their songs, that Messiah of music Syd Barrett will die of a heart attack.

 It’s an album conceived for young people or rather for the very young; it might be so, but I can’t imagine or I can’t manage to imagine that a fifteen-year-old with a minimum of critical sense would buy such an absurd nonsense.

 They pose as a rock band or rather they define themselves as hard-pop playing a bit like Green Day, a bit like the seasoned and tough guys of the situation, when their looks wouldn’t even scare a limping chihuahua.

 Finley only have talent for a few songs, the same can’t be said for the others.

 I think Finley are not a real rock band, they are simply guys who take advantage of not being unattractive to achieve success.

 Everything is Possible is a wrath of God of psychedelic inventions that is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Listening to this album feels like listening to the dragons of evil giving Finley the rock power.


By Seliquia

 "The voice deserves a separate discussion, the real disaster... producing live off-pitch notes that could make the worst bidder envious."

 "The pinnacle of stupidity is reached in 'Diventerai una str', a fanatical anthem to banality, superficiality, a defiance to human values and intelligence."
