The Flexiplexi are a California band almost unknown in Italy and Europe which with "Fulfilled" is at their third album, although the first two are actually demos.
The quintet from Santa Monica can easily be placed in the pop-rock genre, without however disdaining punk nuances which in this album are sometimes successful or at least appropriate, sometimes completely out of place. The journey inside "Fulfilled" begins with a soundcheck called "No. 1" with terrible acoustics. After the coarse punk of "Drunkard" and the guitar riffing mixed with synth of "Dog", something good is glimpsed in "Clothes", a ballad where Tom Mocantner's voice is surprising for its intensity and emotion for 2', only to get lost in the end in a sickly imitation of Thom Yorke from Kid A.
"Blue parrot" is a potentially interesting track if it weren't for the sudden violent thunderstorm that overlaps with the normal progression of the song. Incomprehensible. "Eroes" elicits some smiles as its chorus strongly resembles stadium chants and ends with a belching contest. In the last part of the album, the Flexiplexi play some songs in the style of Green Day or alternatively Good Charlotte.
An immature, unripe record frankly… ugly.
