Pour moi asshole ,la seule qui sort du lot ,un album qui a raté sa cible comme celui de 1978 ,a des années lumieres de son compere Paul !

C'est un album très spécial,loin de 1978 qui est mon préféré des 4,car de bonnes mélodies et délires,Gene pour moi s'est engagé dans un terrain bizarre que je n'aime pas,d'ailleurs,hier je regardais "speaking in tongues",je déteste son look genre rapper bling,bling et je trouve que firestater est une erreur totale,perso fan de Gene je n'ai pas compris ce qu'il a voulu faire?!.Paul non plus à cette époque dans une interview,mais c'est Gene!!

tres special

Ouh alors là, j'ai beaucoup de mal avec cet album , je l'écoute rarement , je le trouve très bordélique et pas très cohérent , le mixage du son reste à désirer , quand au seul clip "Firestarter" je l'ai regarder une fois et ça sera la seule fois , je trouve qu'il ressemble plus à un rappeur qu'à un rockeur et je n'ai pas compris là où il voulait en venir , j'ai voté "asshole" car elle me fait rire , je donnerai 1 étoile à cet album.
