THE REVIEW

2010. The little green men return to planet Earth, continuing their invasion. This time they've made a big impact. The best album of their career. For sure. Italy is not a country for melodic hc, wait, the scene is there, but it does not receive the attention it deserves.

L'Invasione Degli Omini Verdi is one of the best realities of the Italian punk scene of the 2000s, and with this album, they reach the peak of their journey. They have matured. They compose easy-listening tracks that are never trivial, demonstrate good technique (especially on guitar), and sting with particularly harsh and immediate lyrics, aimed at denouncing an Italian society never so rotten ("L'Italia Che Muore", "Lamenti") but also religion which increasingly reveals itself as an evil to be eradicated ("Nel Nome Di Chi?"), or the many useless wars of the world in which we have to live ("La Striscia del Pianto"), also raising harsh criticism against a humanity that does not care about its planet, destroying its own home due to its selfishness ("La Terra Trema"). There are also more individual themes, which nonetheless remain easily understandable, accompanied by very engaging rhythms in any case, even in the acoustic novelty of the last track.

Only listening will say more.
