 Goodbye, Monster. Farewell Ligabue. Farewell to the raw and simple sounds coming from the Po Valley and the desire to create genuine rock.

 The true Ligabue no longer exists, the one I like, but only a character who sings nice but all-the-same songs, crafted for the record company and his pockets.

This review reflects on Ligabue's album 'Arrivederci, Mostro' as a farewell to his original rock style and provincial inspirations. Although well-played and arranged, the album feels repetitive and lacks the emotional depth of previous works. A few tracks stand out for their lyrics and experimentation, but overall the album shows a decline in creativity. The reviewer mourns the loss of the authentic Ligabue they once enjoyed. Explore Ligabue's 'Arrivederci, Mostro' and discover a familiar yet fading rock journey.

 'Tv Reality' is nothing short of stunning and, in my opinion, the best track on the album and in Talisman’s entire career.

 They embody hard rock in the truest sense, perhaps only matched by Tesla and at times Ratt.

 "Archangel is a very homogeneous work where well-placed guitar riffs and tasty solos contribute to making the work varied and compact."

 "The only flaw compared to a work by His Majesty Arjen is that the vocal melodies are not always immediately impactful but require a few more listens."

 "Into the Depths of Sorrow is a classically doom album, both in the structure of the songs and in the lyrics."
