Bohème

I remember this would be the better one of the two albums.

#1 My Love 7

Once again, I have to disagree with the way to begin an album. Pompous but sleepy.

#2 Jerusalem 8

He really seems to be fond of the ballad impression. As a dance version, this could be really good.

#3 Finally 10

Woo! The reason I bought the albums in the first place. In its year (2004), this was the third best preselection entry in the whole Europe (after Mi obsesión and Cry on My Shoulder). Suffers from its structure, though, both through the Thane Erotas syndrome and the illogical transitions. With more sensible structuring and a more attractive performance, it should've done a lot better.

#4 Disco volante 9

I still haven't found out if he sings about a flying saucer or something more mundane. And more sad goodbyes.

#5 With You All the Time 8½

He seems equally fond of patterns, as there are so many similarities between the two albums.

#6 Un bel di 9

Even more like Vincerò than track 4. Good stuff somewhat short of great.

#7 Dangerously Yours 9

Dramatic gay anthem with a mysterious touch. Apparently I've been more fond of this album than the first one as there are less unstarred tracks. And well, at least so far, this has been better.

#8 Open Air 7

And then recommence the ballads. Perfectly average.

#9 Miss America 8½

The title is good and I even remotely remember this. I might almost like this, although it's a bit chaotic. The instrumental bridge leading to the chorus is the best part.

#10 Counting on You 8½

I'm reminded of the SMiLE.dk song with the same name, even though I doubt there'll be much else in common. Rather nice.

#11 The Greatest Feeling 8½

I wonder if I've almost ever heard some of these. At least once, I played this album at work but I'm not sure if I was too concentrated. The anthemic instrumental raises the score with half a point. Overall, this sounds just like a German ESC entry from the 80's.

#12 I'll Never Forget to Remember 6

Oh holy minimalism. Grow, please. I totally forgot to remember. But unlike most other tracks, I'm rather sure I'm not going to listen to it again.

#13 With You All the Time (NiteSite Version) 9½

Here we once again see how a good dance remix can improve a song. Way to cow!
