 "Desaparecido is an album that speaks in very current terms (of war, hatred, and injustices perpetrated for reasons of state), yet it does so in such a poetic and almost theatrical manner."

 "Listening to Desaparecido is like alternating readings of Iliad and Odyssey. The emotion is the same: a sense of archaic, epic, intense, now dramatic, now softened in the sweetness of the atmospheres."

Litfiba's Desaparecido stands out as a new-wave rock masterpiece, blending poetic lyrics on war and injustice with theatrical musical arrangements. The album combines aggressive bass and synth-driven melodies, showcasing exceptional musicianship from band members. Songs like 'Eroi Nel Vento' and 'La Preda' highlight Piero Pelù's powerful vocals and the band's unique sound.
