DISCESA AGL'INFERI D'UN GIOVANE AMANTE

When I have listened to this album I felt I knew it, because it observes the way of making music exactly as some of the old famous italian progressive rock band. I think there are very much positive reviews about this album, because of that. It's time now for a little negative review, again, because of that reason. I believe some italian albums cannot fulfil there real potential (or just cannot attract my attention), because of some typical italian vehicles of expression. Regretfully, we can feel them here again. For example, this hard emotional weight all around the album, full of sounds and melancholy in psychedelic manner. I don't want to say I don't like this manner of making music, but here (I mean not only in Discesa agl'inferi d'un giovane amante, but in some other italian albums, too) it's totally exceeded and combined strangely with hard rock. The other moment is this circus atmosphere. This highy emotional moments full of stoic strain and all these nervous parts are the other flaws here. All these flaws are obstacles for realization of the full potential of the album. Highly recommended for fans of Dedicato a Frazz by Semiramis, Zarathustra by Museo Rosenbach and other italian albums like them. For me - very good non-essential album (3.5 stars) like the above albums.
