LA RECENSIONE
Between harmony and the abyss, between magic lantern and dissonance.
Snapshots of fragility, immersion/regression where everything began.
The beginning is a little tune, as if to say it means nothing, so it means everything.
Then a riff...almost blues, almost subdued, almost powerful (a sensation the same for everyone),
A childlike voice speaking words (a sort of reason different for everyone).
At track two you're sweet and sinister, almost backlit. At three you start digging.
Four is a garment of demon-catching sounds. Five is a touching thing. Six is almost scary.
Then again the little tune, but this time it's to catch your breath.
At track seven it starts again. At eight you stay put for a round. At nine you allow yourself a witch's voice. Ten eleven I don't know what to say anymore.
At twelve the sun and the stars. That thing called illusion. Stop...

06 ... A Psychopath (04:36)
A baseball bat, a baseball bat beside my bed
I'll wait around and wait around, and wait
I hear a noise, I hear a noise, well I hear something
I am alone, you win again, I'm paralyzed
I drift away, I'll drift away, am I asleep yet
I hear a scream, I see me scream, is it from memory
Am I awake, am I alone, when is it sunrise
A baseball bat, a thing of mace
That thing of mace, the thing of mace, where did I leave it
A psychopath, a psychopath, he says he loves me
And I'm alone, and I am cold and paralyzed, I can't move

"You are pierced by a thin and imperceptible blade, which gradually makes you experience the deepest and incurable pain."
"An album of infinite greatness, 'Geek The Girl' is undoubtedly to be counted among the great masterpieces of the '90s."
By popoloitaliano
Each song is a highly flammable concentrate of Despair - Resignation - Anguish.
I have never listened to an album so intimate, personal, to the point of feeling pity, tenderness for the one representing it.
