Undersmokingdoors
The great inertia

LA RECENSIONE

How to best celebrate ten years of activity?! Simple, with an album that manages to sweep away everything done so far in one fell swoop. The Undersmokingdoors have succeeded in this arduous feat, bolstered by the vibes that only a city like Turin can provide and an artistic maturity now achieved. “The great inertia” is a fine modern alternative rock album, drawing inspiration from various currents, from the more traditional styles of Nickelback and Stone Temple Pilots to the crossover sounds of Incubus, Deftones, and Chevelle. The final result is an intense album filled with great songs, elevated by the perfect harmony between the two singers and meticulous attention to songwriting. The impact of each song is comparable to the work of the renowned names mentioned above, with a crucial contribution offered to the cause by Andrea Fusini, a producer who has made a name for himself in the national scene (and beyond) and has here unleashed even more of this sextet's power. As mentioned, the city of the Mole has certainly provided much inspiration, especially in certain moments where Linea 77 seems to be the name most sensitive to the cause of the Undersmokingdoors, particularly when the sound becomes harsher. Highlighting a single episode within the tracklist is challenging, as each song shines on its own, proving to be a potential radio single. “The great inertia” is a successful and attention-worthy album, a production that could chart the path for the band's future.
