Magniloquent and classicist, a great album for the prof, perhaps a bit atypical but more mature compared to the previous ones. The title track and "Sabato stelle" are the best of the lot. more

Extra Life — Secular Works | DeRank™: 0,00

An extremely interesting avant-prog album with math influences and the very particular voice of the singer Charlie Locker. A gem to be savored. more

Massimo volume — Il nuotatore | DeRank™: 0,00

Despite the indifference of their recent works (which I found forced), this pleasantly struck me. In some ways, the passage of time is palpable; it’s undeniable. Mimì's voice has changed, it has lost some thickness and warmth, but not its peculiar expressiveness. The others in the group no longer have that slightly angry grit from the past. Resignation is the theme of the album, perfectly balanced between lyrics and music that harmonize well with the voice. It makes me think of the Massimo Volume of Da qui or Lungo i bordi but in a more mature key (age-wise speaking). It was seriously the best Italian album of 2019, and not just of that year. #forse more

Nanni Moretti — Sogni D'Oro | DeRank™: 0,00

A film about a director making a film about Sigmund Freud who couldn't overcome the Oedipus complex. I don't know about you, but for me, it’s brilliant. And after forty years, it’s still incredibly relevant, which is almost impossible for a film from that era. more

In past geological eras, it was one of those records returned to the used store in less than 24 hours. With all due respect. When I still bought CDs for the cover. I hadn't connected the band's name to More Than Words; otherwise, I would probably have opted for a best of Peppino Di Capri to give to my parents. more

Vecchioni's Pop-Wave masterpiece. The stylistic shift of this album is bold, with arrangements diving sharply into the chaos of the ‘80s, yet they remain neither intrusive nor out of place; rather, they are elegant and refined. Once again, there are no flaws; the lyrics reaffirm their excellence, and the music is equally outstanding. Highlighting the album are "Dentro gli occhi," "Sestri Levante," and the magnificent "Parigi (O cara)." more

Absolutely inspired album, it's incredible to think about the string of masterpieces that the professor composed between 1975 and 1982. Here you have all the highest moments, fitting into the varied empyrean of Italian singer-songwriter history. I think of tracks like “Ninni,” “A te,” “Il capolavoro,” “Il Castello” (and here I'll stop, I don't want to list the entire setlist). Super beautiful. more

Lucio Battisti — L'apparenza | DeRank™: 9,34

Another masterpiece. Perhaps, compared to Don Giovanni, it is slightly less focused in its intentions, slightly less cohesive in the succession of pieces, and has a few tracks that are a notch below the others, but it’s still a gem. The arrangements are even bolder, Panella is even more daring with the lyrics, creating truly magical images like the "staircases that twist in the dark" in A portata di mano. And there is one of the most beautiful pieces in Battisti's entire career: Per altri motivi, a unique experience. 9/10, it paves the way for new horizons. more
