Deep Purple — Come Taste The Band | DeRank™: 3,00

An underestimated chapter of Deep Purple, who here present almost a "Supergroup." Glenn Hughes, Tommy Bolin, David Coverdale alongside veterans Ian Paice and Jon Lord. A highly enjoyable album. more

The vote could easily be either 5 or 1... anyway, since I've restored a bit of apparent order to my life, I haven't dared to listen to this album again. Trout Mask Replica, in certain respects, seems like Please Please Me compared to this... more

The Geniuses of Melody ALL (the Wilsons, the McCartneys, the Costellos...) would not have frowned upon having a "Flying On The Ground Is Wrong" among their own jewels - pure supreme beauty of notes, nothing less. I've always felt the echo of this piece in "Swinging Party" by the Replacements. Perhaps because the initial chord sequence is strikingly similar... more

"Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad?" - rarely have two guitars blended so sublimely. Probably the best Clapton ever in an undefinable album, definitely the most genuine, passionate, desperate. R.I.P. Duane, now and forever. more

Neurosis — A Sun That Never Sets | DeRank™: 3,00

Essentially perfect album, except for one small insignificant detail that I just can't accept: the fade-out ending of a few too many songs! Because it's fine to convey the sense of cosmic inconclusiveness of a post-society trying to rise from its own ruins, and it’s okay that the tracks are always quite lengthy... but ending songs with a fade-out is a trick that I can tolerate once or twice at most, not more! more

I don't know... I think I've listened to it 1750 times or so. And when I listen to it for the 1751st time, I realize once again how "Methods Of Dance," and it's certainly not the only title one could mention, is simply one of the SUM expressions of Art-Music. more

There are records that are said to be PERFECT. These records do not represent a very high number. The record in question falls into that category. more

Those who share their thoughts give it 5 stars, those who don’t give it 1 star, and perhaps both are wrong. The truth is that it has created an immense online database for consultation for rock enthusiasts and beyond, and like all music critics, it will say things that are right for some and nonsense for others. And Twin Infinitives is a crazy piece of crap! more

Bought in the mid-'90s in the Fonit Cetra edition, it was a very pleasant surprise for me as I wasn't familiar with this period of the group. Halfway through (De Scalzi is practically missing), the album is still full of nice moments, even if it's not a masterpiece. As usual, there's a lot going on: Prog, Hard Rock, Pop. more

Roger Taylor — Strange Frontier | DeRank™: 0,00

Unlike Brian May, the solo works of the drummer bear much less resemblance to the sounds of the mother group; this is logical considering how much of Queen's essence can be found in the sounds and arrangements of the guitarist. Therefore, anyone approaching Taylor's works inevitably encounters something different. A decent effort; perhaps with a producer it could have become a good one. more

Not up to the level of their earlier works, however, it is a very dignified closure to their musical arc. I would like to return later to review their first works. Rating 3.5 more
