Replying to American Psycho
American Psycho is the most bad ass move ever.
Patrick Bateman is a total baller and probably the greatest character in film ever.
Patrick Bateman is to rich white boys as Tony Montana is to Rappers
so with that i leave you with this memorable quote:
Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the
release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't
understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on
Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think
Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic
meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches
the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe.
Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and
Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument.
Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the
sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism.
Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of
Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive
political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the
1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting.
Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in
rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole.
Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore
more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air
Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it.
But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the
group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is
Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.
