Klimt 1918 "Dopoguerra"

Before I put this album into my cd-player for the first time, it seemed relatively nice to me: a well made, atmospheric cover, and a flyer with information from the record company, which doesn't try only to sell the band, describing it as the best band of the world (this is anyhow already called Die Ärzte (a German band who calls themselves 'best band of the world', but more for fun than seriously; hey-hey! I know and love very much this band! Mery's note). In the information, the label tries much more to describe the concept of the Italian band: as godfather of their monicker, they chose Gustav Klimt, the forerunner of the so-called 'Wiener Sezession', and the year of his death. "Dopoguerra", the title of the cd, refers to the situation of the Italian people after 1945. In addition, the label writes that Klimt 1918 sound - among other things – a kind of music which has no boundaries. I can agree completely with this – no mountains, no valleys, just wide open musical landscapes. To some others this may give something, but I totally miss the highs and the lows in this music. Just like in the scene of Power Metal, there is a lot from the Alternative music sphere, which is made in a respectable way, but which sounds very similar and to which you can easily renounce. You can also see this in the music of Klimt 1918 which has, on one hand, a respectable sound and respectable musical capabilities, but that can perhaps only set off from other alternative bands, because it sounds even more boring than many others. Because even after the third or fourth listening there is hardly one melody that you can remember after listening to the cd. This could have its reason why in the fact that the music seems to adapt itself to the surrounding, just like a chameleon, so that - if you're not concentrated in listening to the music - after some time you don't notice anymore that the music is still there.
But since songs arrangements and melodies are a matter of taste, friends of this kind of music can risk a half or a whole ear, but people who doesn't totally like alternative rock can ignore this album without batting an eyelid.
