The epic "Suite Per Il Sig" opens more promisingly, at least if ISP is your cup of tea, as it is mine. The introduction is sweet, full of sentimentalism thanks to a moving instrumental part.

It would be unfair not to mention the average and rough vocals from the lead man in charge: Alvaro Fella. I really don't like his timber of voice (it was already a comment of mine for their debut album). He sounds as if one would nail him to the cross while performing.

There are an awful lot of Tull related passages during this long song (almost twenty-one minutes). These are my fave even if not very original. There are also some heavier moments which are the occasion for the guitar to soar and for the organ to pump. This song is really great as long as it remains instrumental (which is mostly the case, fortunately) and is a definite four stars.

I can't be as laudatory about the remaining three tracks: vocals are still painful (believe me) and the song writing is quite thin. Neither the rock "Miss Rand" nor the acoustic and sentimental "E' Brutto?" which sounds not too bad, given the circumstances?

The jazzy "Hai Visto" features some fine and heavy organ for brief moments, and the flute work is quite melodic. But again, vocals are quite disturbing.

I belong to the one third of reviewers who believes that this album is a good one and not to the third that thinks it this is a masterpiece.
