 Crime really sounded "filthy and nauseating", perhaps rightly so "The first and only rock’n’roll band in San Francisco".

 If the Rolling Stones had been infected by the punk wave, then instead of "Exile On Main Street" they might have produced any of the tracks in this anthology.

 F.A.R. were certainly not interested in producing clean sounds, and the entire work had a lo-fi aura essentially suited to the sinister overtones of its titles and various recitations.

 I think this album is Zucchero’s most mature because the melodies are excellent and the lyrics are little poems.

 This album is a small masterpiece by a great artist.

Zucchero’s 'Chocabeck' is a mature and poetic album primarily composed of ballads evoking childhood memories and Italian countryside life. The album stands out for its cohesive mood, thoughtful lyrics by renowned writers like Francesco Guccini and Pasquale Pannella, and production by top producers including Don Was and Brendan O'Brien.
