Piol, what negativity! And here I was hoping to spread some optimism (I'm on a mission for the Premier).

I agree with ElDiablo that Ferro is often criticized unfairly, even though I don't personally like him. Nevertheless, it's certainly not his fault that Italian music is dying: that blame falls on the mass media, money, and the deep, gross musical ignorance that these two entities have generated in the Italian public.

"Frequent thrash outbursts"? Very interesting, anyway.

Another thing: Battiato never had a voice, that’s true: he avoided any kind of diaphragm support (it seemed to me he tried in "Sulle corde di Aries," leaving something to be desired). On the other hand, he always surrounded himself with powerful voices (Giuni Russo, Alice). But apart from that, I believe he was a musician, if not a genius, truly very inspired.

You inevitably suffer a decline in artistic credibility if every year you release a pathetic Greatest Hits. It’s obvious that he doesn’t want to, but these albums have to come out due to the contract, and thanks to the contract, he can afford to pursue cinema and painting in an economic game that makes the decline in credibility unavoidable. This is regardless of the value of Fleurs 2 (which I haven’t listened to). As for Tiziano Ferro, I would certainly never define him as a great artist, but at least he doesn’t hide absolute emptiness behind his image (the same goes for Cremonini). Even though this doesn’t leave me at all optimistic about the future of Italian songwriting.
