The album opens with drum rolls on hi-hat which immediately brings to mind the drum style Stephen Morris, and from that brief moment you can assume their influence and know where they are going. The bass has that liquidy chorus sound of Hooky. The sound of the singer's voice lies somewhere between Stan Ridgway and John Lydon. The band is mercurial switching between Post-Punk a la Joy Division and suddenly segueing into soaring Shoegazing echo-y strumming. It's a pretty fast pace and solid album. ... and the band is from Italy and not from Russia, an important distinction to be made considering the name.
