 ‘The theme of mysticism pervades every single song, but no novelty emerges from this perspective.’

 ‘One of the strengths of previous albums was the compositional vein... which, it pains to say, have disappeared from most of the songs.’

Baustelle's 'I Mistici dell'Occidente' follows the successful 'Amen' with a blend of esoteric themes and international sound. While it maintains the band's characteristic postmodern style and lyrical depth, the album suffers from weaker compositions and arrangements. Vocal contributions from Rachele offer highlights, but some tracks feel weighed down by overproduction. Fans will appreciate the familiar feel, though the album is unlikely to win over detractors. Discover the depths of Baustelle's 'I Mistici dell'Occidente'—listen now and explore its complex sounds and themes.
