The success of Rush! and the criticisms
Rush!, the new album by Maneskin, was released last January 20 and immediately got climbed the charts around the world. Between 17 tracks the punk impetus of kool kidsthe ballads The Loneliest And timezonethe impetuous ones Oh mama And supermodelthe rock’n’roll of Don’t wanna sleep And Blah blah blah and the recent one Gossip.
But not all that glitters is gold. In America they weren’t light with the fantastic four album. Spencer Kornhaber on the Atlantic does not touch it slowly: «I Maneskin are really very beautiful and very cool, certainly much more beautiful and much cooler than the music they make»he commented, “the songs are so blatantly recycled, so blatantly mediocre, that the idea that this band has sparked a kind of culture war between rock lovers and pop lovers […] it is, to be generous, tragic». The lyrics “about partying, sex and the superficiality of the music industry are more clumsy attempts to shock and provoke“, continues.
Pitch fork: Rush!? “An absolutely tremendous album”
Also Jeremy D. Larson of Pitch fork he didn’t go lightly with it Rush!: he gave the band’s new record a 2 on a scale from 1 to 10. It’s «absolutely awful from every point of view,” he writes. Here because. “It’s a rock album that sounds worse the louder you listen to it.” He defines the piece kool kids « a rather curious lagna », above all if one considers that the complainer is «a band that is not only dressed in Gucci, but is dressed in Gucci».
And he doesn’t consider them alternatives at all. «Their success is based on European talent shows and on the algorithm – he continues – I am chaos spreading in the voidand we are left with the task of finding the meaning of a band that seems to parody an early 2000s Nme cover and whose charm could be described as Cirque du Soleil: Buckcherry».
The Maneskin tour starts again on February 23 and also touches Italy
