THE REVIEW

Foreword: this CD was given to me, and I'm embarrassed to own it. Five guys from Bologna discovered a brilliant way to pick up chicks: make "music." That's how Lunapop was born. This CD is so bad that there's not even anyone who wants to copy it...in fact, it would have been better if they had published it empty; it would have been much more useful as a rewritable. I won't spend time and words talking about the "songs" contained in this garbage. I'll just say, don't listen to them to avoid polluting your ears.

Fortunately, this band broke up, freeing us from that crap they produced. Then, one day, I turn on the TV and see Cremonini singing with that other idiot of a bassist with him... The only thing missing was the solo career of this other guy... Out of the frying pan into the fire. When will we be rid of them? This is my skeleton in the closet; don't tell anyone I own this CD (I must emphasize again that it was a gift, and I would never have bought it).

Lùnapop

Lùnapop were an Italian pop band from Bologna active between 1999 and 2002, fronted by Cesare Cremonini. Their debut—and only—studio album “…Squérez?” (1999) spawned major Italian hits such as “50 Special,” “Qualcosa di grande,” and “Un giorno migliore.” After the split, Cremonini began a successful solo career.

 "50 Special," a song sung and resung for an entire year without ever stopping.

 Squerez, despite the music and the cover that seems to depict Giulio Andreotti in an epileptic crisis, is definitely much better than all the CDs put together of the likes of Blue, Gemelli Diversi, Lee Ryan, Zero Assoluto etc.


By lillaccioaledetto

 This 'work' is not completely lacking in dignity.

 Cesare could have become a great songwriter if he had only wanted to, but he clung to the ease of success and the god of money.


By JpLoyRow

 Lùnapop’s ...Squérez? fails to deliver anything truly memorable.

 A disappointing effort that doesn’t live up to its pop ambitions.
