In some ways, it’s his least successful album. Aside from "la storia," "a pà," and "poeti per l'estate," I’m not really convinced. 3 stars is just right.

    Mh. 3 stars seem a bit few to me. I would give at least 4👐. The three you mentioned are the ones I’ve always preferred, along with the title track.

the best Battiato of the last twenty years, with beautiful pieces like "tra sesso e castità," "ermeneutica," "23 coppie...," "la porta dello spavento supremo," and especially "le aquile non volano a stormi." the rest also maintains a good level. 4 round balls

"mama" and "home by the sea/2nd home by the sea" are good songs; tracks like "that's all" are not bad, but they have nothing (absolutely NOTHING) to do with Genesis. The rest? Let's forget it... 2.5, and I'm being generous.

a step back from the extraordinary "the discipline of the land," but still amazing. quattremmezzo, "there's time," and "the kiss on the mouth" are the masterpieces of the album, without a doubt.

but yes, a meager pass is all right, especially for the second side which, excluding “in fondo alla boccia” and “l’esercito delle forchette,” is full of great tracks, shooting me down on all of them. it’s just a shame about the first side, which is markedly inferior (only “goccia a goccia” manages to save it) and has some truly, truly awful tracks (like “regina di cuori” and the first pathetic version of “ritmo...”)

    “Drop by drop,” “Shoot me,” and “Doctor M.” The rest I don’t even consider.

It's a transitional album, and as such, it can either be greatly appreciated or convey little to nothing. I fall into the second category.

    It could have been enough, but it smells too much like any random album released in the 80s.
  • Kism

    After Dalla '80 (excluding "Telefonami fra 20 anni"), there was a clear decline in inspiration. New sounds, new productions—a problem that affected many artists (Bennato but also Pino). Three unsatisfying albums in three years, then the masterstroke of "Caruso" would come to reset both career and wallet!
  • bohhh
    22 jul 20
    I liked "1983" quite a bit; I believe the crash will come with the (still decent) "organised trips". As for "Caruso," I just can't stand it.

    It didn't seem like such a great album to me. Yes, there were some great tracks like the title track or L'altra parte del mondo (but also Camion and Solo a ripensarci), yet there were also some moments that fell short (Pecorella tackles topics handled better elsewhere, and Noi come voi didn’t grab me much).

The album is overall decent, but clearly inferior to the previous ones, mainly due to the plasticky sounds. There are still some nice tracks (title track, "tutta la vita," "toro," "washington," and so on) unfortunately all drowned in cheesy and gaudy arrangements. It's a real shame; it could have been a great album...almost 3.5.
  • Martello
    10 jul 20
    For some a piece of junk, for others a masterpiece. It’s perhaps the album that has managed to divide Dalla's audience more than any other. And anyway, I fall into the second category.

    For me, it's neither a masterpiece nor, for that matter, a piece of rubbish.. a good album, nothing more, nothing less.
