Album Notes & Community Reviews

Achieving massive commercial success following a highly controversial performance at the Sanremo Music Festival, the Italian group solidifies their virtuosic, comedic style. The album blends incredibly precise, complex progressive rock musicianship with deeply satirical, often vulgar lyrical themes mocking Italian culture and music industry tropes.
