Soundgarden — Badmotorfinger | DeRank™: 3,65

Reaching their third album, Soundgarden hits their creative peak: amid heavy metal, hard rock, hints of psychedelia, and hardcore-punk fury, the songs unfold in all their power, driven by Chris's voice and the perfect cohesion of all the instruments. "Rusty Cage," "Jesus Christ Pose," and especially "Slaves & Bulldozers" are true boulders of such heaviness that they leave you stunned upon listening. For me, this is their best album and one of the absolute peaks of the Seattle sound of the era. more

His piercing falsetto is a lament that captivates you. Moreover, "Today!" is an absolute masterpiece of the genre (as far as my knowledge of the Blues is not that great). more
Screaming Trees -Invisible Lantern
SilasLang
With this their third work, the screaming trees, in my humble opinion, reached their zenith. Released for SST, it almost feels like listening to the more psychedelic Doors played by acid Black Flag. A gem. They will repeat at similar levels with the following "Buzz Factory" and especially with the wonderful EP "Change Has Come".... more

Defining it is very difficult for me; it would be like defining a part of myself. A tormented poet, an angelic Voice, unbound, the Voice of the stars, the Voice of God. One of my absolute favorite singers and artists, perhaps too "otherworldly" for this world. "Goodbye and Hello," "Happy Sad," "Lorca," "Starsailor." Albums carved into the heart. "Sometimes I Wonder, just for a While: Will you ever remember me?" more

It's an album that you can listen to and listen to again, full of different rhythms. It may not be one of those records that pierce your soul or make you shout with joy, but it's a delightful listen. more

F**king awesome debut. Their sound, although a bit raw, is already very identifiable. The Kids are Alright! more

Lean, skeletal, minimal. A true descent into the depths of the soul of the fallen angel. Down into the abyss. 9.5. more

One of the best directors around. So many beautiful works, from the toxic trilogy of Pusher to the exceptional Drive, from Bronson to the latest Only God Forgives, not to mention the mystical Valhalla Rising. more

Depeche Mode — Ultra | DeRank™: 4,48

An album born out of difficult circumstances following Alan Wilder's departure: endless recordings, David on the brink of death, and the sound of the record reflects all of this. Songs like "Barrel of a Gun," "Home," "It's no Good" carry that dark, depressed, deep aura typical of the entire album... there's no room for brightness. My Depeche Mode album. more
Crime & the City Solution -Just South of Heaven

In short, an incredible EP. None of the six tracks is less than excellent, all pieces with immense intensity for a wonderful work. Great band and truly a great record. more

Max Richter -24 Postcards in Full Colour
VincentVega206
The first question to ask is whether this is really a record. I mean: generally, a record is understood as a structured work, with a more or less defined connection between the tracks. 24 Postcards is something else, memories in music, to be precise. It is a social-psychological experiment that is different for each listener. The idea is brilliant, and the brief compositions are equally so. more

Forest Swords — Engravings | DeRank™: 0,94

Another "revolutionary" record (for me, of course), a sprawling album for all the shadowy subgenres (read "dark") of electronic music. Dreamy, disorienting, beautiful. more
