Rating: The sounds at times remind me of Subsonica, but there is still a long way to go. The album listens well, the sounds are clean and not excessive, the songs are mixed with style and are never weighed down by lengthy and complex electronic virtuosity.
The lyrics in some pieces are simple, direct, yet impactful, but in many other songs, the impression received is that of the classic contrived and bland pseudo-poetry by a supposedly inspired doomed poet, which is always very much in vogue.
Brief, personal, and fundamentally merciless commentary on some tracks:
2. "Meccanismi": nice, I like it, the lyrics attract me, simple but makes sense, well-paced, catchy sound, these guys have a future, ...although Zanichelli's voice exacerbates a falsetto somewhat from "checca", which is also so in vogue today, almost annoying me.
3. "Sospeso": it's the hit, and you can tell. They took it to Festivalbar, and you can tell. Yet, it is pleasant. It is very, how shall I say, popular, but engaging, catchy.
6. "Chi sono": we go back a bit to adolescence and listen to a sappy Negrita song... no, the voice is more feminine... hear the little guitar, then it's the new Timoria... but no, still them, Il Nucleo, I wouldn't have guessed. However, really, I would love it, ... if I were fourteen years old.
7. Then we recover with "Quando mi fermo". At least in the chorus, the group and even Andrea Zanichelli (vocals and guitar) regain a bit of masculinity, which we then partly lose...
8. ... in the next piece (Veloce verso il cuore) as they simulate Las Ketchup.
Let's skip to 12 "Come un sole che sorge": at the beginning, it sounds like Mango. The title suggests an impression that the chorus ("limpid and blue by now, splendid in your eyes") confirms! I've said it all.
Overall, I find the entire sound setup well-constructed, it is certainly a very well-curated album. The lyrics, however, fluctuate between interesting, underdeveloped interesting, extremely clichéd syrupy, and grand poetic pretensions failed. In fact, it remains a very light album. They define it as "a snapshot of an evolutionary path," and indeed it is a mix of songs that are fundamentally different from each other. They haven't yet found their personal identity. Sometimes they remind me of Lovecoma... but no no, let's not exaggerate!
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
03 Sospeso (04:45)
Mi accorgo di un istante solo
di un attimo di incerta complicit�
Fotografare ogni profumo
moltiplica i deliri inventati da � da me
Ora ti sembro pi� preciso
nel muovermi in assenza di gravit�
Prima respiro pi� leggero
poi dimentico i ricordi che si accendono � in me
� di fotocopie mal riuscite e fogli vecchi ingialliti che
� mi distraggono
Tienimi sospeso � tra l�azzurro in volo
lasciami sospeso � toglimi il respiro
� quasi dote, pi� di un dono
estendermi in altezza e profondit�
Ogni parola � un capogiro
amplifica nei sensi ogni vertigine � in me
� e cercare appiglio � un�attenuante per lasciarsi portare su
� dov�� pi� limpido
Tienimi sospeso � tra l�azzurro in volo
lasciami sospeso � a mezz�aria almeno
Sollevami � sollevami � in verticale � in verticale
Tienimi sospeso � tra l�azzurro in volo
lasciami sospeso � toglimi il respiro
