OFF!
Wasted Years

On the stage of the Nereo Rocco in Trieste, on June 22, Jeff Ament dodged globular lamps while wearing the "Wasted Years" t-shirt. A nice gesture from the Pearl Jam bassist (who has fed abundantly on the Clash), which allowed me to be an annoying know-it-all while extolling and recommending this album.

What is it? 23 minutes of Hardcore punk played in 2014 by a dad - Keith Morris - who has been in the scene for 40 years. Need anything else? No. There's him shouting angrily, there are some interesting riffs, there might be less inspiration compared to the previous ones, but there it is. On the cover, there's the phrase of a silly girl, in the album what a 60-year-old man is still capable of giving. Listen to it after a day of studying, before going skateboarding, during a birthday party, I don't know.

Is that all? Yes, that's all. Given what this place has become, why should I try harder?
