Italian music keeps getting better

"Well, at this point, if you follow my reviews, you might have noticed I'm heavily into italian music. What can I say about this album? I'll try to say something new. First of all, anybody tha has listened to Piero knows that he has an incredibile, low voice, as well as other types of registry. He really knows how to play with his voice, guaranteed. Just for this fact, the CD is worth the buy. But also, this is a guy who likes to call his music "Mediterranean Rock", because he defines it as a crossover with music, and sounds from every place of the earth. He doesn't lie. The CD really has lots of sounds: Arabics, italian, english, etc. He really can be considered as an eclectic musician. Also, I have to say that this CD has incredible beautifull songs like "Buongiorno Mattina" and "Io Ci sarò", that are incredible ballads, and "Toro Loco", "Bomba Boomerang" and the song with the same title as the album, that are great rock songs.
To sum up, there are some songs that I could live without, that's why I'm giving it 4 stars, but I must say that however, they help to build the atmosphere of the entire album. It's a good buy, for sure, specially for those that have italian roots, who will be able to apreciatte the album in a whole different level. But even if you don't have italian roots, it's still a great buy."
