LA RECENSIONE
This debut album by the Emiliani group Rats, dated 1981, is vastly different from everything the group would produce later (a mundane, unconvincing Italian rock that would see collaboration with Ligabue).
Alongside the early works of Gaznevada, Skiantos, Confusional Quartet, "C'est disco" documents the creative Bolognese years of the early '80s, which would soon give way to the Florentine ones.
The album, more than for its quality, is noteworthy for the importance it assumed in the evolution of native rock: the lyrics, although impactful, are naive (after all, we are dealing with sixteen-year-olds).
Punk, New Wave, and Dark characterize the album, with one of the first female voices in Italian rock: Claudia Lloyd, on "vocals."

Summary by Bot
Rats' 1981 debut album 'C'est Disco' captures the spirit of Bologna's early '80s music scene with punk, new wave, and dark influences. Despite the band's later shift toward more conventional Italian rock, this record is significant for its youthful energy and one of the first female rock voices in Italy. The album is notable more for its cultural impact than musical perfection.Tracklist Videos

It remains one of the most beautiful milestones of Italian post-punk.
Absolutely worth retrieving, because it is really worth it.
