2084: VIAGGIO NEL NULLA

1. Track 6 typical voices, choirs, it's pompous, good in 80 or 20 years ago, but here just reheated; yes everything is there to show the mastery of the musicians but using the concept can also slow down; it's hard because there are heavy riffs at times that change from the RPIesque range 2. Viaggio nel Nulla a radio edit from the time of the 70-80s when we liked organs, keyboards with fleshy voices, yes but we are in 2024! 3. Flashback (Apocalisse) on an ersatz side on all floors, and a jazzy variation; it goes better on it since the voice is absent, yes the famous paradigm that the Italian voice is the best suited for prog is only valid for RPI fans; a break to change things up on a solemnly phrased vocal and we go back to the original tune without the little drop of prog blood that makes you dream; the finale sounds like the tune of Inspector Gadget, those who like it will like it even more, the others will find it a bit mawkish

4. Wormhole for its piano variation is worth the trip; after that it's RPI again and again, good but a bit saturated to see a movement draw and draw again from their own creations; the guitar arpeggio break catches my ear, well yes a whiff of GENESIS has something to do with it; chorus on 'Your Own Special Way'; good 8 minutes and the drum beat of 'The Knife', too much is too much anyway; I'm going to be told that 2 chords in rock promote similarities but still; a hell of an impression the heavy jazzy prog finale with this keyboard that reminds me too much of... okay I'll shut up 5. Meta e Metà for the most common title, soft, progressive without overdoing it, that is to say basic RPI with energetic vocals, like on a pop song; a riff all at once, the keyboards provided; break and reprise of the dated keyboard solo, yes I insist the fans of the first hour will like it, it's a fact, the others will be a bit disoriented in front of this sound from another era; the final guitar solo is worth the trip with its long tirade 6. E=mc2 for the bucolic, solemn RPI piece, finally a beautiful melody without an aggressive break between the vocals and the instrumentation; the finale on a Christmas tune surprises and makes you want to listen again.
