Rating: The Tre Allegri Ragazzi Morti have created their own universe where they swim like kings. A universe made of adolescent rage never extinguished, of masked superheroes, of simple and communicative words, of simple emotionality, of pure genuineness, of melancholy towards the past and resignation for a future that smells of engine...
In short, they could be an excellent national-popular band if someone decided seriously to pay attention to them. "La Seconda Rivoluzione Sessuale," released in 2007 and their fifth studio album (produced by Giorgio Canali) marks a different approach already matured with Il Sogno Del Gorilla Bianco (2004) and made even more evident here. The distortions start to be more and more absent, and they try to enrich the usual three chords with trumpets, choruses, and such...
Let's say that they have decided to do things properly as much as it's possible to do things properly. Talking about the individual songs is tough because here it aims at the essence... meaning communication that is as unfiltered as possible, thus: zero solos, zero sudden tempo changes, zero display of technique... let's say that it's an album devoid of diversion that ultimately leaves you with a sense of emptiness that makes you find yourself asking what's wrong (in your life... not in the album).
Out of duty to the readers, I must prolong the discussion by saying (maybe I should have written a review that is a review. something a bit more decent. SORRY), regarding this album, the Tre Allegri Ragazzi Morti sound like Nirvana, without an animal on drums, rearranging the songs of Violent Femmes. STOP!

Ultimately, music sometimes, but without getting too used to it, should not be taken too seriously, and catchy tunes and obsessive refrains are often quite pleasant if crafted with good taste.
TARM should be taken for what they are, a pleasant musical interlude that does not aspire to be regarded as an art form but engages pleasantly on listening.
