"These are smartly constructed, hook-laden crossover tunes – sing-along fare that stays with you. In a prog climate bursting with bombast and complex wankery, sometimes a memorable song is all you need." [John Collinge - Progression Magazine]

"This is so much more than a indie contemporary rock band from Italy. Their single It’s Not Easy is a terrific introduction to the crisp songwriting and instrumentation while revealing a depth to the material that is beyond the surface level." [CMUSE]

"Nonetheless, the rest of the world has its own share of great musicians, and they have certainly kept up with their English and American counterparts. Le Folli Arie, a new group out of Milan, are proving that Italy has what it takes to attract a global listening base" [The Appetizer Radio Show Blog]

"About "Alien's Trip" (38:24) : ...the most stunning instrumental performance that we have ever played on the Jukebox..." [The Jukebox]

"THE BEST IN BRITISH AND EUROPEAN PROGRESSIVE MUSIC - La nostra ‪"Non è facile"‬ è anche in questa bella ‪‎compilation‬ ‎prog‬ europea. Ci trovate a 2:51:20...insieme a ‪‎JethroTull‬ e ‎Yes!" [The European Perspective #224]

""..high-quality sound production, presented in magnificent digipack cover...wonderful ballads and melodic and spirited Rock and Pop songs that are born ready for being consumed by the large audiences. What count here are the talent and experience of the musicians involved in the project, who prove that a real band needs less than shocking instrumental performances and complex arrangements to come out with nice-sounding music that reunites quality, cohesiveness, originality, and emotion. Singer Simone Corazzari has a gifted voice, and takes the lead with passion and sensibility, accompanied by vigorous and contagious backing vocals…blazing solos always placed on the most intense moments of each song…keyboards are loyal companions of the vocal interludes, dressing the music in dimmed Progressive colors. The arrangements are high above the average of mainstream Rock bands...Le Folli Arie are a constant supply of surprises...I have found all songs of "Le Folli Arie" really worthy." [Progressive Rock & Progressive Metal E-Zine]

"The listener is able to experience many extremely different atmospheres and emotional episodes and to appreciate a deep sense of coherence throughout the entire listening experience. That's why defining Le Folli Arie's style is not a simple task: it could be prog music dressed as pop or the exact opposite" [Creative Edge Music]

"... this is an album that passes those genre lines because of the talent come through the speakers when listening. Give this record a try and I believe you will end up buying." [iMoveiLive]

"...We have always been doing music, the four of us. It’s our reason for existence, a natural choice, a passion, an obsession, an illness and our job. We live to do music and of music. As far as I am concerned, writing songs is a natural need, a way to overcome difficulties in my life, to heal my soul, to create beauty, to create something good from bad experiences to share with others..." [iMoveiLive]

"This prog-pop band from Italy definitely provides some punch to my morning… they have a strong command of their instruments (particularly the guitar) as I listen to “Bellezza“… simple structure, but full of beauty... they have a totally jazzy feel on the intro to “Quello che ho” & then move right on into some great guitar lead work… “enchanting” is the word for the vocals on this song. I’m very impressed with this band […] tasty & creative music that you’ll enjoy!" [Improvijazzation Nation]

"It’s really quite an effective and surprising album. I don’t think that it really sounds like anyone else." [G.W.Hill - Music Street Journal]

"This group stands out for it's originality and perfected composition of music. Listen to them!" [Music Arts Monthly]

"The music itself is something that leads to the fact that Le Folli Arie rock the world with their new release... This is so much more than a indie contemporary rock band from Italy. Their single It’s Not Easy is a terrific introduction to the crisp songwriting and instrumentation while revealing a depth to the material that is beyond the surface level.[...]" [CMUSE]

"...This is unique music, kids. The range of genre that these guys cover is quite a task, and for them to do so so effortlessly really says something." [Good Tunes for Good People]

"This is unique music, kids. The range of genre that these guys cover is quite a task, and for them to do so so effortlessly really says something." [Good Tunes for Good People]

"...On the whole, I think that this is a nice pop rock album where melody prevails on a more adventurous, daring approach to songwriting. I know, it could be disappointing for a prog fan, but if you like bands such as Laviàntica, Layra or Camelias Garden, have a try..." [Italian Prog Map]

"...Un sound convincente in un risultato per nulla scontato che rende ancor più meritevole di attenzione questa nuova realtà musicale, un gruppo dal grande potenziale in parte già formato grazie ad uno stile complesso ma perfettamente messo a fuoco..." [All Music Italia]

"Un progetto indipendente, moderno ed alternativo dove le influenze artistiche e musicali dei quattro componenti della band si sono mixate insieme creando un sound del tutto nuovo che unisce insieme rock e pop passando per il grunge, punk, latin e blues." [Fatti di Musica]

"Le Folli Arie, in esclusiva sul Messaggero.it il videoclip di Non è facile" [ilmessaggero.it]

"[...] le premesse ci sono, la sostanza anche. Buona scrittura, begli arrangiamenti, canzoni che suonano oggi come sarebbero suonate nel periodo in cui, appunto, il prog-rock era un vanto nazionale [...] Salto nel buio resta una bella canzone..." [Michele Monina - Fare Musica e Dintorni]

"La qualità che si suona e non si mima in TV...un voto alto a questo band che ha tantissime cartucce ancora da sparare nel proprio repertorio, facendosi largo nel panorama musicale; quindi un consiglio, non perdeteli di vista, anzi d'orecchio, seguiteli su social, andate ai loro live, inserite la loro musica nel vostro iPod, comprandola in digitale o in fisico..." [whatsupmagazine.it]

"...L' album d’esordio ha in sé questo spirito di ricchezza e molteplicità, [...] Tredici tracce che si approcciano alla musica in maniera diversa e con qualità, le capacità dei componenti sono indiscusse e più volte emergono chiaramente nei diversi brani. [...] Le Folli Arie sono un gruppo ben assortito, ricco e vario fatto da musicisti competenti e questo si riflette in toto sull’album, che risulta gradevole e ben realizzato, armonioso nel complesso..." [Rockambula]

"Esistono anche le belle sorprese, per fortuna [...] Poi arriva uno come Steven Wilson, ed anche i detrattori devono convincersi che la stoffa c'è, e non solo l'epigonismo. Se provate ad ascoltare i primi due brani de Le Folli Arie [...] vi sembrerà di aver trovato due inediti della Pfm e del Banco. Poi si arriva a Quello che ho, e il prog melodico dagli "hooks" ineccepibili svolta verso Jeff Buckley. [...] Il tutto con testi tutt'altro che tirati via: da assaporare anche in lettura..." [discoclub65]

""Finalisti al Premio Tenco, escono con un nuovo videoclip ben fatto dal titolo Fuori!..." [l'Espresso]

"..una realtà che potrebbe arrivare dagli anni 70, come fosse appena scesa dall’apertura di un concerto dei The Animals e al tempo stesso padrona di un linguaggio totalmente contemporaneo, dotato di sincera intensità in equilibrio tra composizione strumentale e produzione dei testi... Un disco che trascina con sè un impatto forte, un incoraggiante debutto per una realtà che sicuramente saprà guadagnarsi un posto al sole." [All Music Italia]

"Sono molte le emozioni suscitate da questo disco, [...] sicuramente tra queste, la nostalgia per della musica fatta e suonata bene. Con disinvoltura questo gruppo, si muove tra il folk, il rock, il funk ed il progressive, unendo tutto a dei testi in italiano non banali e melodicamente accattivanti. [...] La strumentale “On a Bridge”, una cavalcata funky, della serie, “NOI SAPPIAMO SUONARE TUTTO”. [...]" [sulpalco.com]
