The initial attack and the accompaniment to the verses of the single "Gigante" are heavily reminiscent of "Gone Away" by The Offspring from I.O.T.O. [listen to believe], and in "Ferro Caldo" I didn’t hear any sonic imitations but at the same time I picked up on a social anger and self-deprecation for not having written one like that for the eternal idol Ozzy [who was fresh off the benefit trio with "luggage-boy" Elton J and Slash], and I provided the substantial premise; and if "Luna Nuda" is an unusual but charming track for him, the other tracks from Pugili are deadly boring, in addition to giving the effect of poorly done b-sides of outdated material, and I’ve said almost everything: as a solo artist, he has no fresh ideas left, and he’s managed to stay afloat until his first San-Rambo [as a guest] with some decent collaborations all outside the mainstream circuit. Collaborations that, after unfortunately finishing his fourth musical period, we will remember in twelve.
