 It's not enough to call themselves Litfiba – and thus, by shamelessly plundering the album’s title, seem like Litfiba – to actually be Litfiba.

 This album isn't bad, in the sense that it has nothing unpleasant about it, but from Litfiba we expect something more.

This review critically assesses Litfiba’s 2006 album 'Essere O Sembrare', lamenting a loss of the band’s former rock intensity and creativity. The album is seen as pop disguised as rock, with only nine tracks written over four years. Despite some melodic highlights and thematic depth, the album fails to meet expectations set by their past work. The review respects the band's history and live prowess but urges for renewed artistic direction. Discover Litfiba's latest album and decide if ‘Essere O Sembrare’ lives up to their legendary status.

 "Litfiba managed to carve an enormous piece of music as feeling and as importance in the Italian rock scene."

 "Desaparecido paved the way for a new course and new mindset approach in our peninsula."

The review highlights its originality, emotional depth, and importance in Italy's music scene. Tracks like "Eroi nel Vento" and "Instanbul" stand out for their unique atmosphere and evocative themes. This album set a new benchmark for Italian rock, embodying the early band's inspiration before later commercial decline. Listen to Litfiba's Desaparecido and discover a captivating milestone in Italian rock history.

 "‘17 Re’ remains with ‘Desaparecido’ in the Olympus of Italian rock."

 "Tracks ‘gira nel mio cerchio’ and ‘oro nero’ are two of the best songs ever produced by Litfiba, alternative music to the pale pop of those years."

Litfiba's '17 Re' album is praised for its innovative style and rich lyrical content, standing alongside 'Desaparecido' as a pinnacle of Italian rock. The reviewer highlights the poetic and psychedelic elements, especially in tracks like 'Pierrot e la luna' and 'Oro nero.' Despite some initially challenging lyrics, repeated listens reveal the band's true talent and courage in exploring chaotic, alternative music. Explore Litfiba’s iconic album '17 Re' and experience the bold spirit of Italian rock today!
