 "Listening to this album will project you into the same state of mind" as making a last, boring attempt to recover something lost.

 "Ultimately it’s nice, but... there’s not much substance. And a cute video with kittens isn’t enough to save it."

 "Caparezza could be considered the Italian equivalent of Eminem (seriously, he’s really good)."

 The effect achieved is that the purity and unity of the sound of the individual tracks are lost, making the chorus seem a bit 'glued on.'

While the lyrical creativity and flow shine, some production choices, especially disjointed music arrangements, detract from the overall experience. The album alternates between serious social critique and less effective humorous tracks, leading to an inconsistent listening journey. Despite flaws, the album remains notable for its originality and strong moments. Discover Caparezza's unique mix of sharp social critique and inventive rap by listening to Le Verità Supposte today!
