THE REVIEW
After four years of silence, the national Adriano returns to make headlines with his new album "Il re degli ignoranti," but this time the result is decidedly unsuccessful.
It is an album where Celentano almost completely forgets to sing, delivering sermons left and right. That Celentano is out of touch is also evidenced by the fact that he recycles two of his previous (rather poor) compositions "Il cowboy e lo Zar" (a remake of "Napoleone, il Cowboy e lo Zar" from 1970) and "Cammino" (already present in the album "Atmosfera" from 1983).
In the end, there is only one song that lives up to his better times, and it is "Fuoco"; introduced by the notes of the TG1, Celentano offers one of his best performances, heartfelt and intense. But it is really too little to save an album that might also be brave, but born on the wrong foot, wordy and pretentious.

Summary by Bot
After four years of silence, Adriano Celentano returns with 'Il re degli ignoranti,' an album that fails to meet expectations. Celentano barely sings, focusing more on preaching and recycled material. Only the song 'Fuoco' stands out as a bright spot. Overall, the album is wordy, pretentious, and disappointing.Tracklist Lyrics Videos
