The album inverts the order of modern musical values, which sees sounds prevail over lyrics, thus positioning itself as a songwriter's album in its own right. The same arrangements, which did not use the computer as if often does these days, give the tracks a warm and thick sound where music leaves no room to electronic special effects. The album carries eleven tracks where, besides the tribute to DeAndré in "La ballata dell'amore cieco", Baccini's pen twines with Salvo Correri's, co-producer with Antonio Marangolo of the album, and Paolo Frola in a fun narration of moods which vary between nervous tics and manias of all the humanity seething within his albums.

Special polemics were yielded by the track "Devo diventare come" ('I have to become like') written outright during the last election campaign when there was only one reassuring and smiling face: "Berlusconi is the man who can boast 56 million emulation efforts " the author says.

"He is the one everyone would like to identify with, like the protagonists of "The Big Brother", like Ambra when in 'non è la rai'". Censored by the album's label in the title, the song was happily ignored by radio networks.
Yet at its time, the song on Andreotti had seemed to me to be far more insidious.
