The result, as mentioned, was rather disappointing, with the two repertoire pieces already sounding "old" and not suited for an overseas audience. The album went practically unnoticed in the States, and my rating is 2 stars, a unique case for me in the entire Battisti discography.

Lucio Battisti's album 'Images' represents a rare and unsuccessful effort to break into the American market with English versions of his songs. Only five of eight tracks were translated, and two classic songs were adapted but sounded outdated. The songs fail to bring new insights beyond their Italian originals. The album went unnoticed in the US and is rated low compared to his usual 5-star works. A later English album, 'Friends,' had better execution but was shelved, ending his international ambitions prematurely. Discover the story behind Lucio Battisti's rare English album and explore the challenges of crossing cultural borders in music.
Where is the band? The guitars have not much to say, buried by production, effects, and even by the drums. We are facing the 'Requiem' of their inspiration, with all due respect to the demons and egocentrism of J.D.
