LA RECENSIONE

After the first single "Spaceman," this is the second EP from the album "Solo un grande sasso" and takes its name from the single "Miami Safari."

The EP contains five songs: it starts with the album's introduction with "Miami Safari" as the first track, then moves on to the highlight, "Solo un grande sasso part 1&2." Truly exceptional is the completeness of this song; I write "a" because they need to be listened to together; indeed, they are united in the album as well. It starts with a very psychedelic intro followed by the rock surge halfway through the song in full Verdena style, which slides into the more abstract atmospheres at the end, practically almost twelve minutes of absolute art.
The fourth song included is the cover of "Creepy Smell," which in about two minutes, transmits a rush of pure adrenaline.
The last song is the very sweet "Morbida," in which Alberto plays all the instruments except the drums, always played by his brother.

Excellent work by Verdena: as an EP, it deserves the highest rating.
