I was recently in Italy and was turned on to Vasco when my daughter and I asked a record store associate to recommend some good Italian rock music. He recommended Buoni O Cattivi, played a few tracks and two new Vasco fan(atics) were born! I've since purchased Fronte del Palco (Live), Nessun Pericolo...per te, and Sara' Migliore. They're all fantastic, but Buoni O Cattivi is my favorite...it's a bit 'harder' than the others (more heavy guitar and less sax) and the guitar riffs are sometimes reminiscent of Metallica. Vasco is very adept at combining the hard with the soft - i.e., his heavy rock and roll as well as his sensuous ballads both send shivers up my spine. Even if you don't know Italian, if you like rock and roll, I highly recommend Vasco!

I must say,I have been a Vasco Rossi fanatic since '87 when he came out with 'C'e chi dice no' and he never ceases to amaze me.This artist can do it all.Touching all the "facets of the diamond" meaning he creates songs that are romantic,spiritual,soft rock,hard rock,you name it.An artistic genius.For those who have been following Vasco as long as I have,know what I mean.This album 'Buoni o Cattivi'is strongly recommended.

I also have Vasco's "Stupido Hotel" but this supremes it by far, the ballads are deep and talks of lost tortured love and up-beat hard driving rock, the songs have so much more of a meaning than most American rock music and hit you on a spiritual level as well as a musical level. Too bad I can only give it five stars! Its so much more deserving, a must buy for any italian music fan!!!!

For those familiar with Rossi's work, it's no surprise that he puts out a record as good as this one. For those not familiar, it'll be a great surprise to realize that good rock music can be made in Italy. Rossi confirms to be one of the great voices in Italian music Today and was smart enough to join a team of first grade musicians, for his best album in years. Highlights are the title track, "Buoni o Cattivi" and "Come Stai".

i bought this after watching the movie
*Don't Move* starring Penelope Cruz.
i loved the theme song so much, i looked it up.
it is from a much older album, so it was less $$$ yay!
i don't speak italian, but i still loved it.
it's Vasco Rossi's "Un Senso", so i ordered it thru Amazon.
i bought the cd as *used condition*, however, i was
amazed that it was in brand new condition!!!
my review is all positive.

Come on men...this album just sucks.

This is one of the worst recordings in his long time carreer. Now we understand why he kept on publishing live albums and collections in recent times instead of brand new songs.
If this is the result i would rather stand for another "Best of..." of this rocker from Zocca, Italy.

Five stars are just five times too much.

Avoid it like chicken pox.
