7th place: Abusive Manifesto
In the 2000s, Samuele's career takes off in a dizzying manner with albums and songs praised by both critics and the public, earning several accolades. Nothing seems to stop his ascent, and in 2009 he is ready to surprise everyone again. This is the reaction one feels when witnessing everything surrounding this Abusive Manifesto: astonishment. Samuele's pen remains the same, sometimes mischievous, sometimes critical, but for some reason, critics harshly dismissed this album, attributing to it words it does not deserve, and the public tends to consider it a minor episode in his career. However, by listening to the album, one might understand why it faces such criticism: the essence is Samuele's, but the writing and composition of the songs have become more cryptic and twisted. The arrangements range from ballads to rock, from folk dances to waltzes with a splash of jazz and singer-songwriter influences. Compared to previous albums, the arrangements were mostly in a singer-songwriter pop style, sometimes with a dose of rock. In short, musically, it is a much denser and less conventional album than the others... but did the lyrics undergo this change as well? Judging by the listening experience, absolutely yes. Even the lyrics of the singles "Un periodo pieno di soprese" and "Ferragosto" (already released by Sergio Cammariere in 2004) do not use conventional words or easily catchy choruses (when has it ever happened that Samuele used easily catchy choruses?), and very often the lyrics do not have a "standard" form, thus forming a blend that can be complicated for an ordinary listener. Tracks like "Manifesto abusivo", "16:9", "Lato proibito", or "A Bologna" are certainly not easy listening pieces; they may even be enjoyable, but they require several listens to be fully absorbed. Perhaps this is the greatest limitation of Abusive Manifesto: it is a far more twisted and cryptic album than usual, coiling up in particular arrangements and overly sophisticated lyrics, which can be quite disorienting during listening. Yet, we are still talking about a really beautiful album that, despite its complexity, remains a product of excellent craftsmanship.
Meticulous rating: 7/8
The gem: 16:9
