4.0 out of 5 stars che bella! the italian radiohead?, June 28, 2004

i was living in Rome last year when this album came out... actually, it was during my first week there. i was walking around the cobbled streets in the Brooklyn-equivelent of Trastevere, and approached one of the many vendors of bootleg CDs. I gazed across the dozens of albums carefully aligned atop the spread bedsheet, and one caught my eye. it was called "Il Suicido Dei Samurai"... the title made the album seem worth the five euro investment on a band i had never heard of. how pleased i was to find out that the album lived up to all of my hopes. Imagine a Bends-era Radiohead sung in the most euphonious language on the planet, and you get this album. if you want to buy something on the fringe... a rare and relatively unknown offering... a glimpse of another country's underground music scene... get this album! it won't disappoint.

I wish there was someway that i could get more people to listen to this album its bloody brilliant!I came across Verdena in Rome,when they were playing in a bus station!(totally random but was a huge space) and the raveonettes were supporting. The first song they played was a Queens of the Stone Age sounding song which is the first song on this album too, and the others have a mixture of sounds from Muse to Silverchair. The singer also sounds a little like Matt Bellamy, can get away with the high pitch parts and some screaming but also sexy due to the rolling of "r's" and Italian lyrics. Mostly, i dunno what he's singing about but that just adds to the mystery of it all.At least have a listen, Elephante and Luna are my favourite.
