Rated by Author: 4.5/5 On January 20th, Måneskin released their second album, RUSH!. With 17 songs and a runtime of 52 minutes and 50 seconds, it’s certainly more packed than their first album, Teatro d’ira - Vol. I, which contained 8 songs and a runtime of 29 minutes and 8 seconds. But is bigger always better in this band’s case? Most of their songs in the new album are filled with energy, although there are some slower ballads. A couple of the songs were written from different places of inspiration, like the days after “Eurovision” (2021), when they made fun of some accusations. They also used for inspiration old guitar riffs that were made by the band's lead guitarist, as well as the feeling of touring around the world, but wanting to return home. The combination of fast paced music, like “Mark Chapman”, which is their fastest song at 178 BPM, with songs like “The Loneliest”, which in Damianos own words, “...is a power ballad, fully 90’s style. …It is what you would say to your loved ones when something beautiful is coming to an end” This is what makes this album stylistically beautiful; there's many themes hidden behind each song. There’s only one minor drawback to this album. A few songs are exclusively in Italian, but you can easily find English translations on the internet. Overall, this album receives a 4.5/5, because while it’s stylistically beautiful, sometimes the changes in between the fast paced music to the more slow, sad songs can be a little jarring.
