What can I say? This album is perfect. It's more mainstream than his other albums, but I think it's Jovanotti best second album after Buon Sangue. "Safari", "Temporale", "Dove Ho Visto Te", "Fango" and "Punto" are the highlights of the album. It has also been chosen as the best italian album of the decade and I think it totally deserves it.

"Sarafi" is upbeat and catchy without being one of those songs of which you get tired easily. "Temporale" is an updated version of Jovanotti's early rapping albums. The bandoneón and the lyrics of "Dove Ho Visto Te" make it the most romantic song I think you can ever dedicate to a person. "Fango" is an intimate ballad about forgiving, forgetting, moving on and living life to the fullest. "Punto"'s bossa nova arrangement makes this album eclectic without losing its cohesion.

Bravo!

English speakers may miss half the fun with Lorenzo's records. His lyrics are pure poetry, so understanding what he is saying is key. But even if you don't understand Italian, some songs are great anyway. My favorites in this album are "Fango" and "Temporale".

I first heard A te on a flight to Germany in a mix of International songs. I hit the re-play button so many times that I nearly had it memorized by the time I got to Frankfurt. I speak Spanish rather than Italian but this song alone is worth the price of the CD. Bellisima!

The music is great but the words are pure poetry. Understanding of Italian is a must to really enjoy his music.

impulse purchase after a friend made me a mix cd with "a te" on it, definitely the best new album i've heard in a while. it's one of those that don't need any songs skipped over. the lyrics are clever, but even if you don't speak italian, it's got a sweet vibe and beat to it. fav songs: "dove ho visto te", "in orbita"
