Margherita Dolcevita is an incredible character, where catastrophes and fear are transformed into an imaginary film or a joke. Perfect communication exists. And it's the quarrel.

Even I, at the time, was annoyed by the first single from this album (You Found Me) as it was played on almost every radio station at almost every hour. If one grows accustomed to these two small things, the album can become much more enjoyable.

The track is the emblem of the album; Shorter’s performance is muscular, rich, loaded, typically Hard Bop. The Procrastinator is a truly great album by Lee Morgan, and therefore it should not be missed.

At this point, the paths that will unfold before your eyes are essentially two: either pharmaceutical companies will stop producing sedatives since the record will serve as the best substitute for them, or a dense and prolonged trail of blood will stain the stairs of your apartment building. I’m talking about the usual incandescent lava flow, a substantial and refined mixture of Grind, Sludge, Hardcore, and Blues-leaning riffs, intense and perverse in the same manner.

The work that good old Howard has created on this occasion is one of the most beautiful and touching auditory supports my ears have ever heard.

The formula used by the band is always the same: indie/power pop with synth insertions and a characteristic guitar sound, which is pleasant even if not very original. In short, an album that adds nothing and indeed downsizes the Wombats a bit, whose debut album was lively and enjoyable.

In short, an album that adds nothing and indeed downsizes the Wombats a bit, whose debut album was lively and enjoyable.
The Wombats' second album, 'This Modern Glitch,' leans heavily on synths and a glossy production style, departing from the deeper guitar sound of their debut. While the album is listenable, it feels more commercial and less creative, resulting in a somewhat boring experience compared to their lively, enjoyable first record. Listen to 'This Modern Glitch' and decide if The Wombats' synth-driven evolution appeals to you!
