Black Sabbath — Paranoid | DeRank™: 7,36

September 1970; just a few months after their eponymous debut, the boys from Aston, near Birmingham, bring to life their most representative album: the Holy Bible for lovers of the emerging Heavy sound. Eight tracks are enough for a little over forty legendary minutes: decades later, they have lost none of their evocative power. "War Pigs", "Paranoid", "Planet Caravan", "Iron Man", "Electric Funeral", "Hand Of Doom", "Rat Salad", "Fairies Wear Boots"... PERFECT ALBUM... more

As someone else has already written, for "completeness," he was probably the greatest of all. For the extraordinary voice, the melodies, the lyrics, his way of prose in song talking about this and that while adopting a new and direct language. A unique figure for vocal power, appearance (a hairy little person and flamboyant), and personality (a charming, lovable, genius oddball—a true artist). more

Great debut, the next three hold up well, but it starts to decline from 1999. "I'm here too" concludes a decade-long journey with dignity. more

The beginning of the eponymous first song from the eponymous first album: there is no comparison in Music that has such chilling beauty; and then comes N.I.B. (Nativity In Black) where there is a line that encapsulates their importance that cannot even be quantified: "My Name Is Lucifer, Please Take My Hand"... There is no need to continue... more

Sepultura — Arise | DeRank™: 0,00

We are in the early nineties, and Brazilian boys are bringing forth their best album in terms of executive tightness, sonic violence, and finally, solid production. It's the brief title track that ominously opens an album that oozes power and malice at every moment, thanks also to immensely explosive songs like "Dead Embryonic Cells" and the closing "Infected Voice"; a terrifying wall of sound that will remain forever unmatched... WE SHALL ARISE... more

One of the pillars of Italian music and even beyond it, being a jazz musician. He has gone through many phases in his career, with the peak during the "trilogy 1977-1980," three masterpieces that cannot be repeated! The first 10 years of his career ('66-'76) were a mix of commercial '60s sounds and experimentation (the trilogy with Roversi); then came the singer-songwriter turn, with the aforementioned trilogy and a less sharp but still valid period until "Bugie"; followed by the pop-commercial phase, from "Cambio" to "Canzoni" which is quite good. From "Ciao" to "Angoli nel cielo" it's dispensable. more

Pearls like "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight" and "Firth of Fifth" are part of the history of progressive rock and are undoubtedly artistic peaks. The rest of the album is far from magnificent: despite a piece like "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)," catchy and musically perfect, with that hypnotic Eastern guitar, and a deep and enchanting instrumental track like "After the Ordeal," the album doesn't quite measure up to its predecessors. more
The Allman Brothers Band -Brothers And Sisters

The death of Duane and Barry Oakley does not stop the band, which in 1973 releases its most famous and successful album (at least in terms of huge sales). Betts takes on the responsibility and handles all the guitar parts, interacting excellently with the young new entry Chuck Leavell, a twenty-year-old pianist destined for a rich career (still collaborates with great artists, including the Stones). Notable tracks include "Ramblin Man" and the instrumental "Jessica" (perhaps the most famous song). more

The first cigarette I smoked was while listening to this album, just released, with a friend. Today, doing the math—102,200 cigarettes later, averaging 20 a day—I listened to it in full again after 14 years and found it shining like never before, really beautiful, especially Paranoid Android, hard and melodic at the same time... (poor lungs...) more

Oh, if it weren't for the fact that during the summer the clubs vomit fools non-stop, it wouldn't be so bad. In fact, it's quite nice. There's a bit of everything even if not enough of anything. Anyway, my 3 years as a lifeguard have given me an enviable tan without even a hint of a girlfriend. You can't have it all. more
