An incendiary spark, ready to explode when you least expect it. A warning with a ghostly edge, at times “indecipherable,” since most of the material never features a predictable chord or drum fill—but damn, it really hits you deep. An album that I unfortunately consider extremely underrated; in fact, it should be counted among the best post-punk albums of the last twenty years, but maybe that heart-wrenching, at times neurotic voice will sadly be heard by far too few people to ... read more

Melon please, a yellow flannel on this one xx.
Edit: Thanks Anthony xx

Still my favorite song from them.

White boy better put his hands up🕺🏼🙋🏻‍♂️

I am that $0 man

It successfully makes me feel so tiny and insignificant, and I know that there’s still a lot that I could gain from this piece in terms of the cryptic lyrics, what Alex is singing about, and all the instrumental variations that explode throughout the experience.
I walked away deeply affected and very impressed; a truly unsettling, fulfilling yet disturbing body of work.

FAVOURITE TRACK: THE RECLINING NUDE

This is modern society.

nihilism
/ˈnʌɪ(h)ɪlɪz(ə)m/
noun
the rejection of all religious and moral principles, in the belief that life is meaningless.

Anxiety is an emotion characterised by an unpleasant state of inner turmoil and includes feelings of dread over anticipated events.

“ Maybe you will win a reward
Maybe they'll make a film about your life
Starring somebody else you've never met
Once you've died
And maybe they will win an award”.

I'm not able to write exactly what I feel listen after listen, but honestly to me this project is basically perfect from start to finish.
Here anger is presented as a gift, sadness turns to strength, fear is growth and freedom is something we need to crave. Every moment is packed with vitality, grandness and the performances are extraordinary.
My only issue with the album is the production that I don't find to be bad, but the whole thing sounds submerged sometimes, slightly muffled ... read more

OTHERWORLDLY.

Anger is a gift.

I MISS YOU.

. "The government is corrupt
And we're on so many drugs
With the radio on and the curtains drawn"

These guys love BC, NR as much as I do.

I shouldn't have listened to Magic, Alive! before this one

(heavenly)

I saw them live yesterday and it was unbelievable, a wonderful, wonderful experience ( + during the sound check, Lewis heard that I was calling him and he said “hello” :3).
In conclusion, the album has grown on me massively since I heard it for the first time, and I’m glad that the tunes sound even better live!

Ho scoperto Elliott Smith grazie a questo album, e cavolo se sono grato di averlo ascoltato.
Non ritengo che sia un album perfetto, ma definirlo il suo capolavoro è totalmente giusto...
Nulla da togliere al Self Titled del 1995, a ogni buon conto trovo Either/Or superiore ad ogni suo progetto, una piccola perla sussurata da una voce sofferente...

Più usufruisco di quest'esperienza musicale, più ritrovo del contenuto nuovo da analizzare.
Non obietterei per nessuna ragione se dovessero definirlo già da ora un "CLASSICO DELL'HIP POP ITALIANO".
Complimenti a William Mezzanotte, un Artista che detiene una visione a dir poco INVIDIABILE.
