La Di Da Di is anything but a bad record, but it has the limitation of a certain monothematic composition and at the same time does not seem to head toward any precise coordinates.

 Battles, however, deserve credit for offering a unique sound, unmatched in the market: a math rock as much robotic and edgy as, albeit atypically, danceable and dance-oriented.

La Di Da Di marks Battles’ return after four years, now as a trio and fully instrumental. The album blends math rock, funk, electronics, and post-rock with energetic and intricate rhythms. While maintaining a unique and cohesive sound, it lacks the creative spark of earlier works featuring former member Tyondai Braxton. Overall, it represents a solid but somewhat restrained step in Battles’ evolution, best enjoyed as a continuous suite. Dive into Battles’ La Di Da Di for a unique instrumental journey blending math rock and groove—listen and experience the intensive energy now!

 "Diario Carboni represents a significant milestone in Luca Carboni’s artistic journey, and for some, even the tombstone of his career as a popstar."

 "The album itself, where the different versions are akin to notes, not to provide a definitive idea of Carboni’s production but rather a spontaneous one."

Diario Carboni is a pivotal album in Luca Carboni's career, combining new songs, live tracks, and remixes. It captures spontaneous and diverse moments rather than a definitive statement. While it led to a European tour and maintained his presence abroad, some see it as the symbolic end of his popstar peak.

 In the thirteen tracks one perceives the taste of repetition, of what has already been sung.

 Essentially, Mondo is a downplayed album, where Luca sings worse than in other albums, somewhat flatly, with some tracks coming across as fillers.

Luca Carboni’s 1995 album Mondo follows his highly successful Carboni album but fails to meet expectations. Though it contains moments of brilliance like ‘Inno nazionale’ and some lighter, ironic tracks, the album largely feels repetitive and less energetic.
