THE REVIEW

XXX x XXX?

giving Deb users a true long leave from local 'reviews' with a 'tiromancina' piece that I had perceived as futile so far: beyond the not-so-encouraging album title for the homonymous track that preceded it [6-], however, in actuality, both the content was and is, and much gives much: from a non-fan perspective, I'll note what's useful, except for the already famous track broadcasted on the radio, which is only nice for the arrangement at one point. Vabbuò, let's get to the point:

Imperfect World - the opening track that, as martial as it is, gives us a clear snapshot of the minimal current situation we live in. 7+

and all the adventures - is the twin of the previous one; okay, 6-

The anxiety of existing - featuring F.Fibra who says little to nothing and Zampaglione in shape who at a frantic moment repeats the title with the concept that 'it's there, it's real', volemose bene, but for me between bad and good, it's another 6-

There exists a place - a track with a very Battisti-like progression that poetically and precisely deals with self-love for once in recent years; 6+

The road to take - folk ALMOST patchanka like few in their repertoire, not memorable for the 'story'; 6+

How much longer - not at all close in 'mood' and lyrics to the -unfortunately- old Antonacci hit, and has a tone and a vibe that doesn't tire. 7

Migrants - a serious track that describes the ugly phenomenon of forced migration, and thus the peak of the work. 8+

Essential Intermezzo - a classical interlude that gives the album a nice narrative boost. 9

My nights - autobiographical track with a mannerist character, which gets by well, but doesn't end in the best way. 7-

Lives of ordinary madness - a re-edition of 'stuff' from some time ago that at least shines in the chorus and epilogue. 6+

Therefore, I have fully reassessed an album that's certainly not a masterpiece, which I didn't even know I had for the new year ;-\ considered blind and obsequious by friends of the past, and which I could not detail again without

...also because of some participatory credits where Matt Laug on drums and Tyler Martyr on cajun clearly alive to the hearing cords, like the self-referential phrase ""why sleep at night HERE?"
