"Io sono nato libero" was BMS third album overall, their second conceptual album, and, if you ask me, the first to not reach the title of an indispensable masterpiece. "Canto nomade per un prigionero politico" opens the album being a very extensive piece that, unlike previous BMS long songs as "Il giardino del mago" or "L'evoluzione", it doesn't take off and remains in a very calm mood, being a song with such a political content you could expect a little violence in the music but no, the song is quite quiet. "Non mi rompete" is an acoustic ballad with a very monotonous and repetitive melody, very long for what it has to offer, a very nice song though.

"La città sottile" starts with a very sensual jazzy piano, then Di Giacomo starts to sing while the keyboards and drums get into action; the guitar lines are less jazzy than the ones on "La danza dei grandi rettili" but at the same time have more presence on it. "Dopo, niente è più lo stesso" is my favorite track on the album: in this song, all the musical abilities of the band are exploited and taken to their highest level. "Traccia II" is a completely instrumental piece that closes the album just as its first part did on BMS debut album and I honestly like this one a little more. This is a very good album, there's no doubt of that, but comparing it with "Banco del Mutuo Soccorso" and "Darwin!", there is a tremendous descending on the band's musical abilities exploitation.
