Questa e' la mia vita... anch'io, Liga, anch'io, August 10, 2005
I was living in Rome during the spring of 2002. Luciano Ligabue was all over the media. He had directed a film (Da Zero A Dieci) and the song "Questa E' La Mia Vita" was its theme. Thus, any time that a promo came on for the film you would hear the song. At the time Liga's proliferation of Italian media was total and "Questa E' La Mia Vita" became the theme song of my stay in Italy. Now it's become a song about my life as well because it was so central to my Italian experience. A rocking, somewhat bittersweet song, it has a quality of reminiscence that will make you want to listen to it repeatedly. He has actually captured through one song the perfect soundtrack for happily thinking back on your life. As for the rest of the album, it's excellent. "Tutti Vogliono Viaggiare In Prima" is another great track. For fans of Liga this is a must, and it's also good starting point for those who want to check him out for the first time.

Classic ligabue style, August 24, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Fuori Come Va ? (Audio CD)
Ligabue's latest release has several short comings that caused it to lose the fifth star in my book. While vacationing in italy i found myself channel surfing one day and i saw a live ligabue concert on rai due. I immediately fell in love with the bands sound and character, as well as zanny yet powerful songs. However many of the songs rely heavily on slang and play on words, which makes understanding very difficult for the average american listener. Also many of the best songs are explained much more in depth by their music video, and as i have yet to see an italian song on MTV...However ligabue is good enough that their lyrics do not need to be understood, the music can just carry you away.

Second best Ligabue is still pretty good, September 4, 2003
This review is from: Fuori Come Va ? (Audio CD)
The first two songs on the album, Sono Nato Per Me and Fuori Come Va, are as good as anything Ligabue's ever done, classic rock with a great beat and melody, and the sound quality is a lot better than on some of Ligabue's earlier albums. The quality of songs slips afterward, however, and Ligabue just seems tired, both his voice, with a lot of sliding off at the end of notes, and his songwriting, in which he seems to be repeating himself. Il Campo delle Lucciole, in particular, really sounds like a second rate version of Balliamo Sul Mondo from his first album. If you are already a Ligabue fan, you will find this album enjoyable, but disappointing. If you are new to this classic Italian rocker, you'd be better off trying either Ligabue, his first album, or Buon Cumpleanno Elvis first, since both are superior efforts. Still, this is better than most American rock, and the first two songs alone make it worth a listen.
