Minutemen — Joy | DeRank™: 0,00

Incredible how the Minutemen managed to sound so complete, so full, while being simultaneously ferocious, sharp, sarcastic, and even "refined," musically stimulating, all within songs lasting between 40 and 70 seconds. This second EP is the epitome of urgency, featuring 3 fragments of Hardcore-Post-Punk for a total duration of 3 minutes, and in these three bursts of song, there's EVERYTHING. Everything that needs to be there, including the musicians' technical ability, in communion with the communicative urgency of Punk-Hardcore, the scathing lyrics, and the (also very "post" punky) dissonant vocals of Boon. "Black Sheep" contains everything in one minute. Perfect, full, plump. Yet it ends before you even realize it started. Mike Watt and George Hurley, however, are a rhythm section that will leave you in tears and pulling your hair out, my favorite of the '80s, personally speaking, of course. What a band. more

Lucio Dalla — 1983 | DeRank™: 0,00

My story with this album is still complex today: two years ago I went from considering it decent to re-listening and seeing how much it actually had to offer. Today... it remains a beautiful album. Pecorella and Noi come voi still sit heavily on my stomach, especially Pecorella, but the rest is very valid. I’ve already wasted enough words on the title track; you all know it’s fantastic. Solo ripped my soul apart, and I wasn’t expecting that. L’altra parte del mondo is very nice, as is Camion. Yes, beautiful album. more

Isao Takahata | DeRank™: 0,00

He is the one who brought into the world my favorite movie of all time and one of the best films about World War II. Takahata was a precious figure for world cinema, and I will keep saying it until I kick the bucket. more

Genesis — Foxtrot | DeRank™: 3,00

Along with Nursery Cryme, Selling England and Trespass... in my opinion, they are the best albums by Genesis... but if I have to choose one: FOXTROT... Supper's Ready makes the difference. more

A masterpiece of progressive rock, every time I listen to it, it feels like I’ve never heard it before. Incredible. more

Well, the Judases that I like, the ones I really mean, ended with "British Steel." This stuff is no longer my cup of tea, definitely not, but unlike "Point of Entry," this is a pop-metal album with a couple of more aggressive peaks of actual "heavy" metal, like the title track which is cool in its genre and I actually like it, but also a couple of other peaks that are pure '80s pop with some rock riffs, undoubtedly. It’s perfect to listen to in the car, maybe to liven up a boring trip, especially with passengers whose musical taste doesn’t quite match yours. You put on Priest’s "Screaming for Vengeance" and they’re happy, I get a couple of laughs, I even find a few catchy and cheesy tunes, and everyone is pleased. A nice album, that I wouldn’t listen to more than once every, well, years. Horrible cover. more

Judas Priest — British Steel | DeRank™: 0,27

Less beautiful than their previous albums, but still a hilarious and relentless wall of Heavy Metal/Hard Rock that's engaging and just the right amount of flashy. I still like them, there's not much to say. Here, the Judas are in a period where their seeds have started to bear fruit (in 1980, there’s the debut of the Maiden, the most dignified among their offspring and stepchildren, probably), but the stamp they put on British Steel is, rightly so, hard, granite-like, and with little room for refinements. In its genre, the album is excellent; among all, I must mention the absolutely irresistible riff of "Breaking the Law." more
