Los Lobos | DeRank™: 0,69

Those who think that these Los Angeles chicani are just the ones from "La Bamba" have a nice collection of masterpiece records to listen to. One out of all, "Kiko". more

Although his masterpieces are quite different, this album remains an excellent and very enjoyable listen. James Brown is an absolute guarantee. Good album. more

Nine Inch Nails | DeRank™: 4,08

They’re not my type and I can't say I like them. However, "Downward Spiral" has an undeniable charm (morbid and perverse, yes, but irresistible..) and Trent Reznor is an enigmatic and remarkable figure. Besides, they have a really cool name... more

The Sound — From the Lions Mouth | DeRank™: 4,19

With a "Jeopardy" behind it, the risk was to produce a faded copy. Instead, this LP matches it, and perhaps even surpasses it in certain moments. Pure Liverpoolian gloom from the early '80s. Adrian Borland among the most expressive voices of the New Wave. more

Edoardo Bennato — Non Farti Cadere Le Braccia | DeRank™: 3,69

Excellent debut for the Neapolitan singer-songwriter. Although he is still somewhat immature in certain aspects, he is already great. He is probably the most "intimate" of Edo, thanks to ballads like "Una settimana, un giorno," "Lei non è qui, non è là," and especially the masterpiece "Un giorno credi." more

Jeff Beck — Blow by Blow | DeRank™: 0,00

One of the best albums by the guitarist from Wallington, a fantastic melting pot of different styles, produced, among others, by such a George Martin (!). Grandiose covers of She's a Woman and Cause we've ended as Lovers. more

Nina Simone — In Concert: Emergency Ward! | DeRank™: 0,00

Half live, half in the studio. This applies to the two Harrison covers. Absolutely fantastic "My Sweet Lord," an intense gospel that is also an anti-militarist poetic recital, by the way in front of an audience of soldiers. Intimate and heartfelt instead is "Isn't It a Pity," just voice and piano. more

Peter Hammill — Fool's Mate | DeRank™: 0,00

It seems to me that Hammil has declared this is the only album he wouldn't change a note of. And indeed, for all its atypical aspects, and perhaps precisely because of that, it is one of his most beautiful works. Vision and The Birds are both masterpieces for me. more

Nina Simone — Nina Simone & Piano | DeRank™: 0,00

Forget about My Baby Just Cares For Me. Those who want to grasp the true essence of Nina Simone must listen to this austere solipsistic masterpiece: just her, her ebony fingers caressing the piano, and her powerful voice in the messianic crescendo of I Think It's Going to Rain Today, silky in The Human Touch, raw and archaic in the spiritual Nobody's fault but mine, fragile to the breaking point in I'll get around without you very well. Great bonus tracks. more
