It’s difficult to say which might be the best album from these ladies because from their beginnings to here (1997), they have always added an intelligent dose of noise to the mixture from which CDs are physically made.

The surprise this time is that they hit the right note, managing to bring some order among the ideas and produce an album as soft as a kick in the middle of the spine. With all the ensuing consequences. To be intelligent, they must have done something good. What? First of all, in this album, there’s pop that’s neither mushy nor thrown together haphazardly as one might think. The most easy listening tracks still have an underlying anxiety that makes you say pop, yes, but nothing commercial. The adolescent mental ramblings have been discarded, and the recycling tastes like an American girl thrown on the street who has put on lipstick in concentric circles all over her face and has something to sing in her state of utmost clarity: drunkenness.

In this album, there is also metal that, more or less, is as heavy as a Cambiasso goal in recent times. In short, if you catch them on the right track, you find the one who sings enjoying playing the electric guitar by plucking the vocal cords and the electric guitars are angry for the affront suffered. Drums and bass hit like a waxing on Jon Bon Jovi’s chest, and the result is that if you want to ask existential questions, it’s not exactly the right moment. You would risk finding the right answers and then have no choice but to go to the port, find the moral strength to lift a concrete block and attach it to the noose to end it all.

In this album, there’s naturally also punk, as gentle as Lemmy in the morning finding himself next to, just awake, a Moby Dick-sized groupie with the equipment. Discs flying like few women in rock history, our ladies prove to have chest hair and to stir up quite some pogo. But it’s a nasty, dark punk that looks at you sideways and threatens to use the club at every misstep.

Finally, in this album, there’s grunge, because whether you like it or not, they're 90s Americans, and thus they must engage in mental masturbations too, even fooling around and writing the lyrics of a song listing the names of three girls (Lorenza, Giada, Alessandra, they seem tricolor) repeated in a loop so much that it makes it easy to think that Screaming Trees are a better torture for you, poor glamster who was bound to get a kick in the ass from this stuff anyway.

Meritorious notes to the intro (proof of how the voice wants to overpower the guitars), to “Drama” pre-2000 hard rock, “I Need” anxiety-inducing for rave pills, and “Moonshine” erotic pop-mockery with sharp claws. The other tracks are also worth it, but these, if you seek them out, can frame the release well.

03   Off the Wagon (03:26)

Been dry long enough
My brain and body need some abuse
Rake me over the coals
And I'll try to think of an excuse

I set a goal and it won't be hard
Hit every bar on the boulevard
Bad idea yeah you're probably right
But I won't be your designated driver tonight

'Cause I'm
Off the wagon and on the town
Off the wagon and on the town
Off the wagon and on the town
Off the wagon

Just how much I've embarrassed myself
Well I haven't got a clue
Did I throw a drink in your face
Or tell you how much I love you

Oh shit I lost my ID
Hook up the Jagermeister IV
Bad idea yeah you're probably right
But I won't be your designated driver tonight

Off the wagon
I'm off the wagon
I'm on the town off the wagon
Off the wagon wagon wagon wagon - Wee...

Set a goal
Hit every bar
Bad idea
Designated
Alright, alright

Off the wagon and on the town
Off the wagon and on the town
Off the wagon and on the town
Off the wagon

I'm on the town off the wagon
I'm on the town off the wagon
I'm on the town off the wagon
I'm off the wagon wagon wagon wagon

Off the wagon and on the town
Off the wagon and on the town
Off the wagon and on the town
Off the wagon

05   Moonshine (03:23)

I took a walk in the park
It was scary and dark
I looked up at the moon
And I wasn't afraid

She's so bright tonight
Shining through the trees
She's glowing on you
Take a walk with me
You can walk with me in the

Moonshine

06   Bitter Wine (04:15)

I'll drink bitter wine
I'll eat humble pie
I'll do all this
For some peace
I'll do all this for peace of mind

Can we trust each other
I'm not your keeper
No farewell sister
Try to have savoir-faire
Pretend like I just don't care
You'll do all this just to get high
I'll do all this to just get by

07   The Masses Are Asses (04:21)

I still get angry
I still get sad
And the losers
Still drive me mad
And I wonder
If I have anything to say anymore
Oh yeah
I wonder if i have anything to say

Except the masses are asses
Oh yeah, the masses are asses
They're all asses

Things still
Piss me off
And things
Still make me cry
Poetry's in motion, not in mind
Poetry's in motion but not in my mind
Poetic justice will come in time
And I just have to laugh,
I just have to laugh

Because the masses (masses)
are asses (asses)
Oh yeah, The masses (masses)
Are asses (we're all asses)

Poetry's in motion, not in mind
Poetry's in motion but not in my mind
Poetic justice will come in time
And I just have to laugh,
I just have to laugh

Because the masses (masses)
are asses (asses)
Oh yeah, The masses (masses)
Are asses

Masses are asses every day
Masses are asses in every way
Woo woo

08   Bad Things (03:12)

I suppose I should say a few words here,
Let it all out,
Try to let it all out

I like the sign with the blinking light
I like the sign it makes me feel alright
I like the lights yeah they're soothing me
I like the lights when they get blurry

But something out there's messing with me
A strange dose of reality

I had some things I had to do today
I had some things my head got in the way
I thought a drive might make it okay
I thought a drive would take it all away

I can't shake what's hanging over me
I can't shake it this brain freeze
Something out there's messing with me
Bad things come in more than threes

Bad things bad things
I just wanna
Bad things, bad things
I wanna wanna
Bad things, bad things
Come on, I wanna
Bad things, bad things
I just wanna feel good
(And I feel so bad)

I like the sound of the urban din
I like the sound it fits the mood I'm in
The city plays it's manic song
The city plays I want to sing along

I can't shake what's hanging over me
I can't shake it this brain freeze
Bad things keep happening to me
Bad things come in more than threes

Bad things, bad things
I just wanna..
Bad things, bad things
I wanna, wanna..
Bad things, bad things
Come on, I wanna..
Bad things, bad things
I just wanna feel good
good! I just wanna feel good!
good! I just wanna feel good!
good! good! good! good! good!

shhhhhh

I had some things I had to do today
I had some things my head got in the way
I can't shake what's hanging over me
I just can't shake what's hanging over me

Bad things bad things
I just wanna..
Bad things, bad things
I wanna, wanna
Bad things, bad things
Come on I wanna..
Bad things, bad things
I just wanna feel good
good! good! I wanna wanna feel good! good!
I wanna wanna feel good! good!
I just wanna feel good! good!
I wanna wanna feel good! I just gotta feel good!
