The review critiques Luciano Ligabue's 'Made in Italy' album for its weak singles and an unclear musical direction. It argues that the album fails as rock or singer-songwriter music and settles into lightweight pop territory. Despite some nostalgic stylistic elements and a few acoustic tracks, the album disappoints fans expecting deeper content or cohesive storytelling. The reviewer places the album above some Italian pop contemporaries but far from international pop greats. Discover why Ligabue's 'Made in Italy' divides fans—listen and decide if the shift to pop works for you.

 There remains that energy that bursts forth in an almost 'naive' way from these songs, making it more engaging than many of today’s artificial productions.

The album combines American hard rock and 80s pop-rock influences with themes of escape, rebellion, and identity.

The reviewer values the intensity of Ligabue's voice despite technical imperfections. Dive into Ligabue’s raw and nostalgic rock anthems—listen to 'Lambrusco, coltelli, rose & popcorn' today!
