Ugh, my opinion on this album is quite controversial; I didn't understand it at first and I think it has many negative aspects. Listening to it again, I still think that, but I found something more: Ancora tu remains a "banger," truly excellent, La compagnia always hits even if it misses in some passages, Il veliero is an absolute masterpiece of which I never listen to the lyrics because the insane rhythm keeps me spellbound. But I found a little surprise with No dottore, a track that (in my opinion) deserved a more ballad-like arrangement but is still quite nice, and Respirando, even if I wouldn't listen to it on repeat but it has a great rhythm... okay, that was the good stuff. Frankly, some pieces remain at the bottom of the Battistian barrel: Un uomo che ti ama has one of the most pathetic lyrics ever written by Mogol, alongside an excellent base that is brutally sunk, Io ti venderei continues to torment me; no matter how much I try, I can't listen to it, and Dove arriva quel cespuglio I find tiresome as a track, the base isn't perfectly calibrated and the lyrics are too "by the book." Furthermore, Mogol's lyrics are becoming less interesting, which is strange given the peaks reached with Anima latina. Warning: this album is by no means a failure; it is still excellently arranged and has a couple of gems within it, but I have no interest in listening to it again. 6/10, improvements needed.
