Classic ligabue style

"Ligabue's latest release has several short comings that caused it to lose the fifth star in my book. While vacationing in italy i found myself channel surfing one day and i saw a live ligabue concert on rai due. I immediately fell in love with the bands sound and character, as well as zanny yet powerful songs. However many of the songs rely heavily on slang and play on words, which makes understanding very difficult for the average american listener. Also many of the best songs are explained much more in depth by their music video, and as i have yet to see an italian song on MTV...However ligabue is good enough that their lyrics do not need to be understood, the music can just carry you away."

Second best Ligabue is still pretty good

"The first two songs on the album, Sono Nato Per Me and Fuori Come Va, are as good as anything Ligabue's ever done, classic rock with a great beat and melody, and the sound quality is a lot better than on some of Ligabue's earlier albums. The quality of songs slips afterward, however, and Ligabue just seems tired, both his voice, with a lot of sliding off at the end of notes, and his songwriting, in which he seems to be repeating himself. Il Campo delle Lucciole, in particular, really sounds like a second rate version of Balliamo Sul Mondo from his first album.If you are already a Ligabue fan, you will find this album enjoyable, but disappointing. If you are new to this classic Italian rocker, you'd be better off trying either Ligabue, his first album, or Buon Cumpleanno Elvis first, since both are superior efforts. Still, this is better than most American rock, and the first two songs alone make it worth a listen."
