Independent review

This 34-minute almost conceptual creation is closest in sound to a wild mixture from the "Leningrad" album of the 2001 year "Made in Zhopa" and the work of Serge Gainsbourg (especially in the tracks "VodkaLove" and "Neva", which previously sounded in other arrangements in the repertoire of the group "Rubl"). The influence of French chanson is also very noticeable in the intro and outro, and in other compositions it slips through more than once. The music here is much more minimalist than in Shnur's main band, and the lyrics, as well as their performance, are more restrained, although signature profanity-laden phrases, as well as vocal drive, sometimes slip through. And quite appropriately. The album is listened to in one breath, although it seems you have already heard much of this, if you follow Sergey's work more or less carefully. The downside - it's not the best version of the song "You Are Fucking Awesome", although for those who haven't heard the first version, it's still a hit. In addition to those named, I will note "Pardon", the antagonist of "Not for Her" (which points most to the connection with the 2001 year) + the protagonist "Everything for Her", the driving "FERRARI", full of comparisons "Together Forever" and two masterpieces "That Which Is Not Needed" and "Little Evil Heart". It is curious that the album was released in two versions – free digital and vinyl. This is not just a collection of songs left over from his main work, but specifically a finished product, having fully complete musical and poetic images.
