I bought this CD for my husband's birthday because of the song Uno In Piu, otherwise known as the happy birthday song! This one song is the whole reason I bought this CD in the first place because we heard it played on the radio and on MTV a million times while we were in Italy last spring, and we just loved the infectious beat. The best part is that I was really surprised at how great the rest of the tracks were. I really, really enjoyed this CD and I think its one that you can listen to over and over and over again and still love it! I haven't gotten tired of it yet! I think this CD is lots of fun and I highly recommend it for anyone who likes Italian pop music or anyone who just likes music that's fun and different!

This it is a light album, with no complications. Unfortunately, it turns out to be shallow when compared to previous 883 works, like "La Dura Legge del Gol" or "La Donna, Il Sogno e Il Grande Incubo", in which the songs go from worldly to spiritual in an almost imperceptible way. Good energy level provided by BELLA VERA and LA LUNGA ESTATE CALDISSIMA, in addition to the video files of both songs inserted in the CD. Excellent combination of Max Pezzali's voice with Syria's in ESSERE IN TE. The art is impeccable, the most novel thing being the booklet to which a shining UV layer has been applied in some areas, making it flashier. This isn't one of the best 883 albums, but still has some good things....

This recently released cd is a lot of fun, especially the video tracks "bella vera (non e il caldo ma)" and "la lungha estate caldissima". But these songs don't give the flavor of the whole album which is surprisingly varied. Romantic songs, like "Essere in te" and "Honolulu Baby" are well executed and beautifully sung. "Cloro" is an upbeat, strange song that sticks in the head but is uniquely flavorful. The title song's instrumentals are unique. It is a cd you'll listen to over and over again. The videos are delightfully cheesy, exactly what you expect from italian pop!

I bought this CD in Verona in 2001, since then its been broken, replaced, stolen, and again replaced. I've never liked a CD as much before to keep replacing it.

883 are very well known in Italy and other parts of Europe, and this is a very very good album!!
Track no. 7 and 10 are terrific!!
