THE REVIEW

You buy a CD because you've heard one song, unexpectedly, which launches the album and is usually the best one to make fools buy the whole CD, and you find yourself holding a truly beautiful, intense work, rich with music, words, sounds, and energy... songs that aren't just songs but poems in a rock key.

Yes, because I think I can define this album as, in a certain sense, rock, which stands out from the singer's previous compositions.
With this work, Marina seems to say, "Forget Spring, I'm angry, listen to this!".
Apart from the song that gives the album its title, I wouldn't know which one to mention as the best, so for simplicity, I'll tell you which ones I liked the least: Il respiro del mio vivere, Abuso di potere, and Il lato oscuro; the three songs that close the CD: the rest is all to listen to and love, which isn't bad if you consider there are 11 songs in total.
