THE REVIEW

...the excellent "!?'' recalled, with the appropriate original nuances, the lamented Banco del Mutuo Soccorso; ''Verità Supposte'' showcases the creative flair of the singer with the help of hits that were utterly misunderstood by the average audience. ''Habemus Capa'' is a valid attack on the rotten petty bourgeois of the moment and also on those who look at violent acts with continued dedication...''Le Dimensioni del mio Caos'' stands against the big (?) works, the obsession with having to have an exploit or something in life, as well as everything (animals and humans) that is exploited, underpaid, etc., by national castes. So far, OK. ''Il Sogno Eretico'' is a manifesto that overall remains at a good level, although it does not pale in comparison with the previous ones (!). This latest album ''Museica'' suffers from a significant sonic decline: after the release of Cover, a Concept-album was expected... listenable both in terms of social criticism (like the previous ones) and in a therapeutic-jazz aspect in some respects. Instead, except for the adequate Teste di Modì, Avrai ragione Tu (ritratto), and the same Cover (which isn't a cover), it tends to fall into ridicule: this can be perceived from the faded playfulness of Non me lo Posso Permettere and the obscene pop-singer-songwriter episodes of China Town and E' tardi, but also from Mica Van Gogh and the useless Canzone all'Entrata, Canzone di Mezzo, Canzone all'Uscita which then make you think ''...song? but wasn't this guy an engaged rapper?''.

This doesn't mean Caparezza should be considered buried, but this reeks of useless drift that horrifies 3/4! ...The future has yet to come.

Summary by Bot

This review of Caparezza's Museica acknowledges the album's continued focus on social critique and creative themes. However, it criticizes the album for a noticeable drop in musical quality and cohesion. Some tracks retain merit, but many fall into playful or pop styles that feel out of place. The reviewer sees this as a misguided drift rather than a successful evolution.

 The album is like a real museum in a musical key... Simply brilliant.

 The lyrics of Museica’s tracks exceed the limits of genius and poetry.
