Another excellent album, well above "Uffà! Uffà!" from the same year; perhaps the second-to-last gasp of the best Edo. The title track and "L'isola che non c'è" are the most successful pieces. 4.5 rounded up to 5 out of affection.

I listened to it again yesterday, and it undoubtedly ranks in the top 3 of the worst of the worst of Edone. Besides being unnecessarily hyper-long, it alternates between "simply" bad tracks and truly embarrassing ones. Second only to "Sbandato" as far as I'm concerned. 1 star broken.

    At the time of its release, it was a big disappointment, uninspired, poorly sold, and similar in outcome to Lucio Dalla's contemporary 1983. Three years to produce it, big names involved, yet the result is "nobody remembers it" and it diminished the career of an artist who in 1980 filled San Siro.
  • Turbitt
    28 sep 20
    Great work that deserves to be re-evaluated highly. I agree with you, Ditta: the last real good job from Edo's "important" period. Kaiwanna is already inferior, although not to be underestimated. There are really eclectic and varied atmospheres and solutions here, with truly fitting arrangements. The contributions with the saxophone are truly remarkable.
  • Ditta

After a few scattered glimpses of decency in the previous two works and the extraordinary last-minute effort “È asciuto pazzo o padrone,” comes this truly terrible album that irrevocably brings poor Edo to the same artistic level as Ramazzotti and Antonacci. He will never rise again.

    A bit ugly, huh? But due to its genesis, it has always reminded me of Jannacci's Discogreve; the matrix is the same, but the result... no. 5/10, with little woodworms attached trying to nibble an extra half-point.
  • Ditta

    How magnanimous you are; for me, this is no more than a 3.5/4 (out of 10). And yet, he would manage to surpass himself three years later with "Sbandato."

"Have doubts" was still enough, but this is where the slaughter truly begins. Following this, there will be a handful of albums, each uglier than the last ("Sbandato" being the worst). Much better is the contemporary "È asciuto pazzo 'o padrone," released as Joe Sarnataro. I would give it 1.5... let’s say 2.

    More than 2 than 1. But there are three excellent tracks: "Lo Zio Fantastico," "Martiri Del Rock'n Roll," and "Tutto Sbagliato Baby," which makes me want to cry, so much so that even Mia Martini made it her own some time later.

    For me, it’s really only worth three stars and that’s it. It disappointed me quite a bit, mainly because of some tracks that are arranged and sometimes written really poorly. Anyway, if you really have the CD of this album, I have to respect you because it’s not at all easy to find this CD, really well done.
  • Ditta
    12 jun 20
    I tried to evaluate it not only by comparing it to his discography but also to that of his "colleagues." For example, I personally don't find it to be on the same level as "Abbi dubbi," "Bugie," "Un uomo in blues," "In questo mondo di ladri," "Good-bye Indiana," "Nove" (all of which I think are at a 3), nor on the same level as the various "Burattino senza fili," "Come è profondo il mare," "Nero a metà," "Lilly," "La pianta del tè," "Agnese dolce Agnese," etc. (all rated 5). It stands (again, in my opinion) on par with the various "È arrivato un bastimento," "Viaggi organizzati" (here you probably won't agree), "Ferryboat," "Buona domenica," "700 giorni," "Viaggi e intemperie." I hope I'm making myself clear.

  • Martello
    12 jun 20
    Aside from the fact that Enzo is quite an unusual singer-songwriter, it’s really tough for me to say whether Parlare con i limoni is on par with works like Buona domenica or Viaggi e intemperie: they all have songs that are really well written as usual (the title track for Jannacci, Firenze for Graziani, and Modena for Venditti) and tracks that are a bit of a mess, like La fine della storia or Kriminal.

Surely an excellent album, still relevant after all these years, with gems like the title track or "Capo d'Africa," but honestly, I find it significantly inferior to all the previous ones and the 2 that followed. However, as a rating, a solid 4.5 fits perfectly.
  • Martello
    12 may 20
    The rating is a bit too high. I think a 4.5 should be given to albums like Titanic or AL LIMITE by De Gregori; for Viva l'Italia, I would give it a solid 4. It's a good album, but definitely inferior to the previous and subsequent ones up to Terra di nessuno. Nevertheless, it's an album that is masterfully arranged, yet has some missteps like Stella stellina, which doesn't place it on the same level as his masterpieces.
  • Ditta
    12 may 20
    "De Gregori 78," just like "Titanic," is a solid 5 stars for me. I consider it to be roughly on the same level as "Scacchi e tarocchi" or "Terra di nessuno."
  • Martello
    12 may 20
    It's hard to judge Scacchi e tarocchi: it's not a bad album, but the decline in inspiration is noticeable. If I really have to give it a score, I'd say a 7.5, because it has some nice tracks, but, like Viva l'Italia, it also has unnecessary falls. P.S. I hope I'm not the only one who finds Poeti per l'estate fantastic.

    "Chess and Tarot" is indeed slightly inferior to the subsequent one. However, it had some splendid tracks, in addition to "La storia," which we all know by now, I would add "A pà" (every time I listen to it, it deeply moves me). Then, other intense pieces like "Miracolo a Venezia," "Ciao ciao," the title track, "I cowboys," or, indeed, "Poeti per l'estate." "Sotto le stelle del Messico a trapanar" and "Piccoli dolori" are indeed two lesser tracks, but still enjoyable.
  • Martello
    12 may 20
    Chess and Tarot might be the worst of the 70s and 80s (not counting Miramare, of course). It may seem vulgar, but I've always referred to Chess and Tarot as "an interrupted coioto."

    I totally agree with your judgment. It's my favorite album by the Prince. I bought it by chance in a supermarket, and it accompanied me throughout the trip.

    It is a fact that it is superior to Viva l'Italia and inferior to the three previous ones; it is the one that resonates the most, yes, but in my opinion, it is not the one he suffered the most for. In this regard, it only ranks behind Terra di nessuno for me.
