Gianluca Grignani
La Fabbrica Di Plastica

[At the time of writing this review, I am aware that for publishing a review of this kind of artist, I will receive criticisms and insults, but my opinion on this album is unlikely to be changed by any possible insults in the comments of this review!]

The Italian revelation album of the year was released in 1996. And it is the work (yes indeed) of Mr. Grignani Gianluca from Milan, born in 1972. With this album, Grignani surprises everyone by introducing a very, very acidic, distorted, psychedelic sound in the album (often for this reason he came into open conflict with his record company), certainly less soft than the previous "Destinazione Paradiso," with which he had conquered the big audience. Notable also is the arrangement, carried out by the Milanese singer-songwriter himself, in collaboration with Greg Walsh.

The title track, which opens the album, begins with an acoustic intro that lasts a few seconds, then gives way to a decisive, energetic rock, with psychedelic shades that are truly surprising after listening to his first album. "+ Famoso di Gesù," at the moment of the chorus (quite catchy), becomes very fast and intense, almost not seeming like you're listening to an Italian record.
"Solo Cielo" is by far the best track on this album, and, in my opinion (without overreaching excessively), it is certainly among the best Italian songs written in the last 10 years. It's 4 minutes of pure psychedelia, with a hard and constantly present bass, simple drums, a very acidic guitar at the beginning, and featuring a beautiful, very expressive solo towards the end.
As you go on, the common thread of this work remains the acidity and hardness expressed by the sound of the guitars (as seen in "Testa Sulla Luna" and "L'Allucinazione") and with the bass that, as in "La Vetrina Del Negozio Di Giocattoli," significantly hardens the sound of the track.
Very distinctive also is the hidden track titled "Qualcosa nell'atmosfera," placed about 8 minutes after the end of "Il Mio Peggior Nemico," very hard in sound and in the drum part. It's almost a hard-rock of difficult comparison concerning Italian music of that period.

The best album created by the Milanese singer-songwriter who, unfortunately, now finds himself singing "...ti raserò l'aiuola..." (a truly pitiful song, written solely for the purpose of making money).
This album may not have sold as the one containing "L'Aiuola," but surely, sometimes, one must have the courage of one's actions, not care about business, and make albums not with the aim of pleasing record companies and music broadcasters but with the sole objective of making great music, as in the case of this album, which significantly deviates from the standards of Italian music that today passes on TV and sells millions of copies...
