Glamour has no reason to exist because I Cani are not just any band. Glamour is a mediocre album, and I would even go as far as to say it’s unnecessary because it’s neither here nor there.

Glamour is a mediocre album, and I would even go as far as to say it’s unnecessary because it’s neither here nor there.
Glamour by I Cani fails to live up to the disruptive originality that characterized their debut. While attempting a more intimate and scene-driven approach, it settles into standard electro-pop territory. The reviewer finds the album mediocre and unnecessary, noting a loss of the previous artistic edge. Some tracks retain charm, but overall the growth feels boring and uninspired. Discover if Glamour lives up to I Cani’s legacy—read the full review and decide for yourself!

Praised for Guy Picciotto's expressive vocals and the band's tight songwriting, the album remains influential, despite its delayed 1999 release.

The sound is more mature and it shows, but the lack of big hits, crucial at the time, certainly makes the record fall short. 1965 undoubtedly had superior musical offerings, such as Highway 61 Revisited by Dylan, My Generation by The Who, and the Beatles’ double punch Help - Rubber Soul.

The intent is to shed light on two forgotten albums, and, if they weren’t forgotten, to give a different light to these, in case the roots of a great like Alice Cooper were forgotten.
