I think it's one of the best cd's I have ever listened to. the poems and music are written in a great harmony and easy to follow and understand. He is not superficial and cares about human values among them liberty in thoughts and mind. he is not a trivial and ordinary singer he has a message and it is not just about cheap love that comes from sexual desires or fantasy of some loser or poor sport poeple. he has a very respectable ideas. I really appreciate it. he reminds me of John Lenon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Words fail me - but they do not fail Guccini, luckily, May 24, 2006

By	F. P. Barbieri "Fabio Paolo Barbieri" (London UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Beginning with the title - has any music album ever had a better title than "About love, death and other nonsense"? And the breadth of subjects - from "Il Caduto", the story of an Italian soldier sent to die in Russia, to one of the finest love songs ever written, this is a display not so much of exceptional lyrics writing as of genuine poetic genius, lines that - like the best of Bob Dylan - can stand up by themselves even without any music. And the music is magnificent: Guccini's production seems always to hit the right medium between powerful spareness and brilliant effect. As far as I am concerned, the most memorable song of a marvelous bunch is "Cyrano", in which he displays his fantastic ability to rethink, recreate, classic figures, placing them in a modern world without losing any of their original meaning, indeed adding to it. The tale of the valiant, rebellious, vulnerable nobleman at war with everything in the world that is mean fits so well in the poisonous atmosphere of Berlusconi's Italy that it almost looks easy; but only genius makes things look as easy as that.
