Lucio Dalla — Lucio Dalla | DeRank™: 0,00

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

Roberto Vecchioni — Blumùn | DeRank™: 3,00

Vecchioni from the late '80s and, broadly speaking, the '90s I believe is the best (perhaps even more than the, to this day indigestible, '70s one). "Blumùn" is a caress that never stops moving me: from the title track to "Euridice," from the rustic yet classy fun of "Saggio di danza classica e moderna" to the emotions, honestly never held back, of "Il mago della pioggia." Towards the end it falters (the last two tracks are mediocre), but it’s an album I will continue to be fascinated by. emozionarmi: more

Baustelle — La malavita | DeRank™: 0,00

After two niche albums, they sign with Warner, get booed by their early fans, but sell out massively, so hats off. The album, musically catchy and narratively surprising, is a sort of tribute to the Italian '70s poliziottesco cinema, with its tones and moods. Bianconi is in a state of grace, and all over Italy songs like "La guerra è finita," "Un romantico a Milano," "Il corvo Joe," which are not easy, are bouncing around. Tracks to memorize like "Sergio," "A vita bassa," "Il nulla" smell of The Smiths, as hasn't been seen for (too) long in the Belpaese. more

Francesco Guccini — Metropolis | DeRank™: 3,00

The slow dying of cities intersects with the slow perishing of the people who inhabit them: a record that is at times magnificent, sumptuous ("Bisanzio"), ironic ("Bologna"), narratively engaging ("Antenor"), goosebump-inducing ("Lager"), tear-jerking ("Venezia"). With some tracks hinting at filler material, but there's enough substance and plenty, plenty of meat. popola: more
Giorgio Gaber -Io non mi sento italiano
JpLoyRow
Released posthumously, Gaber's last work (a hoarse, aged, suffering voice) seems like an artistic and spiritual legacy, almost a testament. The closing track "Se ci fosse un uomo" is the final possible hope: a new civilization that replaces our inevitably sick world. The hope, however, is also found in "Non insegnate ai bambini," plus some past songs reinterpreted in a modern key. Irony is guaranteed ("Il corrotto"), but the tone is, ça va sans dire, funereal. possibile: more

Luca Carboni — Luca Carboni | DeRank™: 3,00

A beautiful album, a product of its time and of a restless generation that Carboni outlined with refinement and good pop taste. Songs like "La voglia di vivere," "Vieni a vivere con me," "Farfallina," and "Silvia lo sai" will go down in history, while tracks that seem weaker at first, like "Lungomare" or "Caro Gesù," are signs of definitive maturation, not only musically. more

Tiziano Ferro — Alla Mia Età | DeRank™: 0,00

Third work by the artist from Latina, the first not produced by the Salerno/Maionchi duo. The previous album ("Nessuno è solo") already sounded like a step back compared to the r&b that characterized the first two albums (Canova's production helped a lot), this one is an unbearable whining in which our guy tells us, through music, all his little and big existential dramas almost as if the audience were his psychiatrist. There’s Fossati ("Indietro"), there’s Battiato ("Il tempo stesso") but there’s (a lot) little substance, only the curious "La traversata dell'estate" and the big single "Il regalo più grande" save the album. Not much, Mr. Ferro. more

Born in 2024 in Brazil, Castrivenian immediately stood out for their raw and atmospheric black metal, imbued with vampiric, lycanthropic, and misanthropic themes. Their first full-length album, "Reborn from the Ashes," was released on July 6, 2025 via Onlyhate Propaganda in a super-limited edition (only 10 CD-R copies). more
