Reviews and criticism
After listening to the song “What should we do?” The creator of the legendary Sex Pistols, Malcolm McLaren, said the following:
It's sexy - and that's it! I am sure that for the generation of laptops that spends all their time on the Internet, even the sound of a live guitar itself should seem very sexy. Of course, I have already heard a lot of similar things, and this track evokes a slight sense of deja vu in me [6] .
According to the Internet portal NEWSmuz.com in 2006, “Naive” reached the peak of its sound by releasing the disc “The Reverse Side of Love”. With this album, domestic punk music stated that it may not sound like a “shit”, but be boldly decorated with arrangements and effective presentation of even political compositions, such as “The Illusion of Freedom” [7] .
