BIGLIETTO PER L'INFERNO

The band combines old-school heavy rock with some Jethro Tull influences and an occasional early ELP and VDGG echo. The album sounds very much like a 1970 product instead of a 1974 album and I suspect it must have sounded rather retro, even at the time of its release. This can be partially blamed on the muffled production that drowns out every possible dynamics and freshness. But also the songwriting is to blame; there are strong cuts such as Confessione but many pieces are rather cliché-RPI. What's worse is that they often seem like a cut-and paste job from disconnected recordings. The result is awkwardly flowing songs such as Una Strana Regina and L'Amico Suicida. They feature romantic balladry with the occasional Bach-quotes and heavy rock outbursts that are often haphazard and not integrating very well with the main flow of the songs. A shame given their potential.

A 3 star album that you could give 4 if you focus on the potential that sits buried underneath the murky production.
