BLAST - Cut

2010 (Mad noises)
alternative rock
by Antonio Ciarletta
6.5

Tornarno i Blast dopo quattro anni di silenzio, Dell'album precedente, "Everybody Wants To Change The World…But Not Themself" avevamo parlato proprio su queste pagine, apprezzandone l'originale miscela di suoni sommariamente post-wave e hard rock alternativo anni '90,.

"Cut" (bellissima la confezione) si mantiene pressappoco sulle medesime coordinate stilistiche.

Sette i pezzi, abili nel mettere in piedi dinamiche di contrapposizione tra dissonanze e melodie, tra templi lenti e tempo più veloci, che testimoniano evidentemente un amore mai sopito per l'alternative sound degli anni 90.

Curatissimi, al solito, i suoni e la produzione, anche se i pezzi risultano leggermente meno incisivi rispetto al passato. Molto bella la ballata "Energie Di Fine Estate", che tanto ricorda gli indimenticati Scisma.
