Eric Clapton — pilgrim | DeRank™: 0,93

Well-produced album, but lacking the intensity of Unplugged and From The Cradle.. sticking to the "recent" works. more
Lucio Battisti -Lucio Battisti
SydBarrett96
First chapter of the Battistiano songbook, actually the first collection of singles released during that period (together with Vol.2, Emozioni and Vol.4). What can I say, there are the first historic tracks like “Un’avventura”, “29 settembre”, “Non è Francesca”, “Per una lira”, which will pave the way for the early Lucio. It's always difficult for me to give a definitive rating to compilations, but let’s say an overall 4 (also considering the subsequent 3 collections) seems fair, especially in light of the levels our artist would soon reach. more
Edoardo Bennato -Burattino Senza Fili
SydBarrett96
Today I listened to it again, wonderful as always. Rock’n’roll, sarcasm, mockery, irony at its highest levels. I don’t want to repeat myself by saying the same things over and over, but the first 5 albums by Edo are among the best things ever released in Italy. more

As the author of that abomination of a song titled "Girlfriend," she certainly stands at the top of the mountain of garbage music. more

Lucio Battisti -Amore e non amore
SydBarrett96
The first masterpiece by Battisti, as well as one of the most influential Italian records of all time. Many justified words have always been spent (myself included) for the Battisti Avant-garde of “Anima Latina,” but in my opinion, this is by no means inferior. Guys, we are in 1971 (actually, the album was released 8 months after the recording because the Ricordi considered it too experimental for those times) and here we are at the highest levels of Italic Hard-Prog, with the entire PFM on instruments (only Pagani is missing) incredibly inspired. Extended tracks, whether instrumental or not, with Hammond organ and electric guitar solos (unthinkable stuff back then) with Lucio perhaps at his highest levels as singer and musician. Mogol said that Battisti had made this record with the Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple in mind, and you can definitely hear it. Very underrated, perhaps too much. more

Strepitous lyrics, incredible vocals, and album covers as fascinating as they are unsettling. The best of the best you can find in Thrash Metal music. more

The granite explosiveness of "Imaginations From The Other Side" and the ethereal beauty of "Nightfall In Middle-Earth" are more than enough for a solid five. And then, first love is certainly not forgotten. more

The Clash — London Calling | DeRank™: 7,19

Epochal record, one of the albums of my life. Objectively, choosing between this and the next one is almost impossible, as the creative period of the Clash between 1979 and 1980 remains immeasurable, but I’m (perhaps) more attached to this one. Let’s do this: I’ll keep them both. more

"Siamese Dream" and "Mellon Collie..." are two masterpieces of stratospheric proportions. "Gish" is also quite beautiful, as it presents the ears with high-quality Grunge. more

Lucio Battisti -Una giornata uggiosa
SydBarrett96
Of the period with Mogol, this is absolutely the one I listen to the least. Not that it's a bad record; on the contrary, it's well-played and features the title track and "Nastro Rosa," which are among the best of Battisti's repertoire. The other songs are a couple of steps lower, even though I've always had a soft spot for “Gelosa cara.” Here, however, it’s clear that the fuel with Giulio Rapetti was now running low, and at times, the record feels a bit tired, as if it were trying to repeat the magic of the previous one, but not fully succeeding. It is still a good epitaph for a memorable era, and Mogol's words will never again be so significant: “who knows what will become of us, we will only find out by living.” 4 generous stars. more
Lucio Battisti -Io Tu Noi Tutti
SydBarrett96
Great album, the first of the major Pop-International productions, largely driven by the two masterpiece singles: “Amarsi un po” and “Sì, Viaggiare.” The rest of the songs are still at good levels, with a couple of gems like “L’interprete di un film” and “Neanche un minuto di non amore.” However, I find both the previous and the subsequent ones to be superior, for sure. more
