Rating: THE REVIEW
Recently, the latest album by Subsonica, "Terrestre," was released.
In this latest album, Subsonica showcases more rock sounds, indeed it stands as the most rock album of their production. Coincidentally, the guitarist, Max Casacci, uses the doubleneck 12-string guitar in this one (used years ago by the great Jimmy Page).
The first song of the album "Corpo a corpo," is characterized by Samuel's very strong voice, even if the music is not equally strong. In the track "Abitudine," selected by the group as the first single, the music reveals the rock sounds absent in previous albums, and it stands as the masterpiece of the album.
What makes this album enjoyable is Samuel's voice, increasingly aggressive, and the much more convincing sound, to the point that it could be called Hard Rock, yet it always remains tied to Italian rock.
With this album, Subsonica confirms themselves as a band in continuous evolution, moving closer to hard rock and increasingly away from electronic roots.
The other songs are no less impactful, like the incisive "Ratto," characterized by an apparently cheerful verse that explodes in the chorus, pulling a bright rock sound out of the hat. "Giorni a perdere" is close to "Ratto," but it presents slightly more melodic elements in the chorus.
I truly recommend everyone to listen to this album: you won't regret it!

Terrestre is a clear turning point for Subsonica, both because they are now with a major label and because it comes after two years of complete silence.
Only time will tell if it’s a positive shift and if the Subsonics have won their bet; in the meantime, let’s enjoy the present dancing to the verses of L’Odore.

No one knows what this new Subsonica release is.
It should be an album made to play live, but in reality, Subsonica’s live performances are really okay.
By Taurus
The Turin band fills the sound of 'Terrestre' with a quantity of guitars, never so present, despite maintaining their classic electronic references.
'Gasoline' is the most unusual composition for Subsonica with its five and a half minutes, being a hypnotic hard-rock breaking away from the usual quintet’s patterns.
