Alberto Camerini
Kids Wanna Rock

2005. An ever-evolving Alberto Camerini finds himself punk and sporting a mohawk! The second work with Skidsoplastix, "Kids wanna rock" is still today Alberto Camerini's latest album (after 13 years, a comeback with a new album would be sensational!), composed of 13 tracks. The album is, in a nutshell, Alberto embracing American punk, but this time fully, unlike in "Cyberclown," where the operation only partially succeeded. The album flows quite smoothly, without lapses in style, always considering that the textual and musical style is light years away from the first and second phases of Alberto Camerini, namely Cramps and Cbs. The tracks are also all short, none reaching four minutes, with some even under two minutes, a characteristic also present in "Rudy e Rita." The best songs are "Non parlare," the title track, the reggae "Why," and the concluding "Run." The rest fits in well, like the trio "Bum bum/Batti un colpo se c sei/Lo so lo so." Notably mentioned also is "Kalifornia punx." Rating: 3 stars, for a courageous Camerini.
