 This was the first (antediluvian) concert I consciously attended, capable of branding with iron et fire everything that would follow.

 Quentin Dupieux is Mr. Oizo. That is, in reality, it’s Mr. Oizo who is Quentin Dupieux.

 The Kiss have always made me expel abnormal protozoa shaped like hot air balloons, therefore beyond the limits allowed by the latest decrees.

 Perhaps they think making a cover means just making it faster and angrier than the original. And these aren’t even faster nor angrier: just as ugly as (maybe) the originals.

This review blends nostalgia with irony, recalling discovering the 1994 tribute album Kiss My Ass: Classic Kiss Regrooved on a dusty cassette.

 For what it’s worth, for me it’s one of the best Californian melodic hardcore albums.

 Nearly twenty-five years later, of that dull mess, it’s perhaps the only album whose tracks I remember and still listen to with pleasure today.

 When someone gargles with muriatic acid, concrete nails, and the metal spheres of stainless steel bearings and then screams in your face with all the strength and wheezing desperation they possess 'STACCALASPINA', for me they are the undisputed champion of the entire (un)known universe in terms of elegiac assorted poetics.

 If those old baboons of the Royal Academy of Sciences lounged in plenary session in Stockholm had a minimal sense of art instead of awarding it to that old mouflon Roberto Dilano, they should have assigned it, even posthumously, to the indomitable Don Chuck Schuldiner.

 On this front, I must say I have been thoroughly disappointed: however, I find that Ozzy Osbourne has never sung so well, as in this version of "Paranoid", and I mean at least since 1971.

 In short: the album theoretically sucks but, in practice, I really like it.
