3. Affinities-Divergences between Comrade Togliatti and Us in Achieving Adulthood
After years of concerts and hard work, the CCCP released their first official album. A total paradox, you'll understand why. After the first CCCP, a legendary track, Curami, a frantic ride. And it’s not the last of the songs that have entered the minds of all of us, such as Io sto bene, another legendary piece, Allarme with its unique rhythm, Trafitto, Valium Tavor Serenase, in short, a string of evergreens. And I haven’t even mentioned the truly most imposing and immortal of them all, that paranoid Emilia that will really remain forever in the memory of Italian music. I’ve been a bit enthusiastic but I think it’s clear what I want to say: the album is an absolute must and that’s why I wanted to give it priority even though I prefer CCCP Epica etica etnica pathos. It’s also paradoxical, because among the CCCP albums it’s the most immature and raucous, but it’s precisely this that makes it the fantastic album that it is.
