I enjoy many of the songs in this collection. That's the problem. I've heard them all before. I merely have to visit my in-laws to hear them for the umpteenth time. The title should have been a tip-off that cliches are the object here. I suppose it serves as a collection for those without any of these songs on other discs. But I am a casual and very recent fan of Italian music and have already gotten past this stuff. If you've been to just one Italian wedding, you've heard these songs more than you need to. Italian music has much to offer and it's worth digging deeper than a greatest hits collection.
