C.S.I. — Tabula rasa elettrificata | DeRank™: 3,00

A trip to Asia is the pretext for a kind of concept album about getting lost and finding oneself. All things considered, of the whole CCCP-CSI package, it’s perhaps their least original effort, even though tracks like "Unità di produzione", "Brace", "Vicini" and "M'importa 'nasega" are real gems. more

Lùnapop — …squerèz? | DeRank™: 3,00

An Italian boyband that nailed 5 smash hits with full marks ("Un giorno migliore"; "Qualcosa di grande"; "50 Special"; "Se ci sarai"; "Vorrei") and an album that, when listened to again today, sounds like a historical relic worthy of the best "Jurassic Park." Lots of memories, those for sure. more

Ball -Satan Ecstasy

Ball — Satan Ecstasy | DeRank™: 0,00

Listening is an immersion into the grotesque and the occult: primitive rhythms, dripping bass, and caveman drums blend with fast and dirty psychedelic riffs. The deliberately toxic production reinforces the album’s visionary effect, at times reminiscent of an audio-visual horror movie. I think Satanic Ecstasy is a statement of intent: a record that pushes hard‑psych madness to the limit, where every track is a sonic ritual and every note a surge of obsidian rage. It’s disturbing, it’s abrasive, it’s deliciously demonic — a total experience for those who seek excess and are not afraid to get their ears dirty.
It’s not an album but a sonic ritual. intenti: more

Zucchero — Chocabeck | DeRank™: 3,00

It seems unbelievable, but Zucchero’s best-selling album of the last twenty years is this one: dark, moody, sad, reflective, with very few ironic digressions ("Vedo Nero") and prestigious collaborations, from Guccini to Brian Wilson. questo: more
Antonello Venditti -Dalla pelle al cuore
JpLoyRow
The best of Venditti from the last twenty years is all, or nearly all, contained within this album—at times exquisitely refined—in which he blends popular romanticism ("Piove su Roma") with memories of timeless figures like Di Bartolomei and Pantani. more
Cat Stevens -Tea For The Tillerman
JpLoyRow
Legendary folk masterpiece from 1970s USA with which Cat Stevens truly became a first-rate star. Just a few titles are enough: "Father and Son"; "Sad Lisa"; "Where the Children Play"; "Wild World." A cult classic. titoli: more

The Verve — Forth | DeRank™: 0,00

They’re back, after almost a decade. Years go by, and so do trends. They, after all, have never really been fashionable: here they are again with an (almost) classic album featuring some subtle experimental streaks. Nothing major, but all very enjoyable. stati: more
Bruno Mars -Unorthodox Jukebox
JpLoyRow
"It's the sound of my freedom," he declares to the press. But in an album packed with sounds and genres (80s pop; pure singer-songwriter style; funk; disco music) featuring a dozen producers, one wonders what his freedom really is. Perhaps it's the freedom of delegating to others. more

Adele — 19 | DeRank™: 3,00

The debut of Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, better known as Adele, already contains the seeds that would later serve as the foundation for her subsequent masterpiece. Rough edges—perhaps a bit unripe—aside, a hit like "Chasing Pavements" makes for an impressive calling card. And the rest isn’t bad either. more
Robbie Williams -Life thru a lens

He leaves Take That and proves to have superior talent: pop is his domain, and he hits the mark right away. From the famous ballad "Angels" to the fun of "Let me entertain you," there is more than enough to claim that a star is born. superiore: more

James Blunt — Back To Bedlam | DeRank™: 0,00

The debut of Her Majesty's army officer James Blunt is a mix of pop and folk that stands somewhere between Coldplay and Cat Stevens. Nothing new on the Western Front, but everything is very elegant and professional ("You're Beautiful"; "Goodbye My Lover"; "High"). more

Adele — 21 | DeRank™: 3,00

Impressive opus no. 2 from the very young Adele who, with the help of a high-budget production, strings together an amazing sequence of tracks destined, in a short time, to become classics ("Rolling in the Deep"; "Set Fire to the Rain"; "Someone Like You"). An instant best-seller. more

The Police — Syncronicity | DeRank™: 3,00

Farewell step of one of the most influential bands of all time. With their spirit cast in the 1980s, they string together one gem after another: "King of Pain"; "Every breath you take"; "Mother"; "Wrapped Around Your Finger", but (perhaps) the spontaneity of their early days has been lost. more

Lucio Dalla — Lucio Dalla | DeRank™: 3,00

Two lengths longer than the previous "Com'è profondo il mare" (weighed down by too many forgettable tracks), this album opens the decade (at least until 1988) that is the most "clean" and prolific of Dalla. No filler songs, just 40-carat gems destined to become part of every Italian's collective memory, open-air poems ("Tango"; "Milano"; "L'anno che verrà"; "Anna e Marco"; "L'ultima luna"). A masterpiece. more

LUCIO DALLA — canzoni | DeRank™: 3,00

He sells, oversells, and becomes a hit with the catchy tune co-written with Samuele Bersani, "Canzone". He seems more in tune with his audience (and not only them) than ever before in his career, but the album is disappointing, and "Ayrton" pales in comparison with "Nuvolari" from twenty years earlier. more
