He hasn't made a decent song in years, but I just can't bring myself to dislike him. Never cocky, never a misplaced word... Mediocre, but likable. more

Iron Maiden — Piece of mind | DeRank™: -3,00

A record that I barely remembered having listened to, this is definitely the Maiden album I always cared the least about, and listening to it again now I understand why. This is the first Maiden album that has all of the "classic" pompous and epic Heavy Metal that, honestly, is a bit of a turn-off for me, also losing that fun, somewhat horror caricature vibe and the "pop" and melodic inspirations from the previous album. "Where Eagles Dare" is exactly the perfect example of the Metal that grates on my nerves. Other tracks, like "Revelations," "The Trooper," and, to some extent, the longer and more elaborate "To Tame a Land" (from "Dune"), with the latter being a typical example of the more refined heavy style of Maiden, which I find convincing only to a degree—more often not—are certainly stronger, but overall the album has everything it needs, in the genre, to keep me at a distance. Except for the always stunning cover art (poor Ed…). more

King Crimson — Discipline | DeRank™: 5,60

New Wave masterpiece. After the golden triad of 1973-1974 (the albums by the Fripp-Wetton-Bruford lineup, to be clear), this is my favorite from King Crimson. The triad “Indiscipline”-“Discipline”-“The Sheltering Sky” is textbook. more
Elton John -Songs From The West Coast
hjhhjij
After over twenty years of subpar production (with rare exceptions), this album, the first of the third millennium for Uncle Reginald, marks his rebirth and the beginning of a "second youth," at least artistically speaking. Despite a production and sounds that are far too polished and lacquered for my taste, this album sees the return of some nice tracks, among them the opening "The Emperor's New Clothes" and the beautiful ballad "American Triangle," two great songs (on the same album, for someone who managed to produce only 4-5 truly beautiful songs between 1979 and 2000). Not everything works; some tracks are definitely skippable, but beyond those two, there are another 4-5 solid songs (especially "The Wasteland"), and overall, we return to quite respectable levels. After this and "Peachtree Road" (which is less impressive than this), the golden period of this rebirth will begin with a trilogy of truly beautiful albums between 2006 and 2013. After that, he returned to crap. more

King Crimson -Larks' Tongues in Aspic
SydBarrett96
With this, my all-time favorite KC era begins. Not that I don’t adore the first fantastic quartet (1969-1971), I want to be clear, but with this and the next two, incredible heights will be reached not just in progressive, which here is abundantly digested and surpassed, but for music as a whole. Total rock, with the best Crimson lineup ever for me. 10/10. more

pino daniele — musicante | DeRank™: 0,72

Beautiful and very underrated album. There’s a lot of the previous work (the Fusion, Neapolitan melody, and so much poetry) but also something new, like some hints of World that will become stronger in the next two albums. An innovative and still great Pino, backed by yet another exceptional cast of musicians (Joe Amoruso, Rino Zurzolo, Mel Collins, Alphonso Johnson, etc.). more

King Crimson -In The Wake Of Poseidon
SydBarrett96
Great album, on the heels of the monolithic debut but more Jazz and experimental. It's the one from the early KC that I listen to "less" (note the quotes), but here too the standout tracks are plentiful: “Cadence and Cascade”, the title track, and the sinister (not coincidentally) and abyssal “The Devil's Triangle” are among the best in their repertoire, for example. more
