QUELLI COME NOI

At this time of their career, there are little chances to hear such a great album as "Ut" of course. Especially when one has to acknowledge that this album holds almost exclusively very old songs from the band, but played with new arrangements and sounds.

"Signore, Io Sono Irish" for instance was featured on their first album "Senza Orario, Senza Bandiera". Other ones are "Visioni" and "Una Mineira" from their sophomore work. Etc.

The objective being to offer a new angle to these old pieces. Was it useful? I guess not. The track selection skips totally their most prog songs in favour of the commercial aspect. So, prog is again alien here.

Average Italian pop as they ought to produce for the last fifteen years or so. Some good melodies though but most of this album is just too mellow and quite unbearable. "Poster" is maybe one of the weakest (but there are several that could deserve the crown, like "Aldebaran" for instance).

The couple of new songs is on par, don't worry: nothing to write home about. The best advise is of course to stay far, far away from this "Quelli Come Noi". Totally useless IMO.

One star. What else?
