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

New Trolls — Ut | DeRank™: 0,00

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

The lowest rating I can give is 1, so... No, but seriously, I mean, isn't it already obvious to everyone how useless / annoying / pretentious / sold-out / horrible / grating it is without having to say it? more
Premiata Forneria Marconi -Come Ti Va In Riva Alla Città
Kism
Not overly inspired, however, it confirms the group's willingness to adapt to the new musical climate of the '80s. Unlike "Suonare Suonare," this time there aren't any truly successful tracks; perhaps "Weekend" and "Quartiere 8." Mussida's guitar shines, demonstrating his ability to effortlessly adjust to a more pop and commercial sound. more

One cannot give them a 5 for obvious reasons, nor a 4 because they do still blend third-wave emo rock with a bit of pop, but a 3 is deserved because what they do, they do well and without being pretentious; on the contrary. And anyone who says their voice is unpleasant either only listens to Queen or prefers "Lieber Honig" by Neu! because they're a Scaruffian parrot who we’ve had just about enough of. more

Cairo — Conflict and dreams | DeRank™: 0,00

The best of a trilogy of albums that redefine American Prog: all the usual references from across the Atlantic are present, but the listening experience flows with emotions, beautiful melodies, and remarkable technique. The premature death of the excellent vocalist Bret Douglas extinguishes the spark of an underrated band. more
Vasco Rossi -Non Siamo Mica Gli Americani
Lao Tze
When people say, "it was better before"... not really, this Vasco here annoys me just as much as the current one. The album only holds up a little thanks to "Albachiara" and "La Strega," but the rest is incredibly boring. I remember that song about his military service that was just a drip-drip of agony. The best Rossi (which is like saying: the least stinky shit) is somewhere between "Siamo Solo Noi" and "Vado Al Massimo." more

Le Orme — Venerdì | DeRank™: 0,00

The album is produced well and also original... the inspiration isn’t necessarily exceptional, however, it’s worth noting the desire to evolve and find their place within the challenging '80s for these heroes of Italian progressive music.
Nonetheless, it's an interesting piece in the context of a sought-after career that will later see them resurface with a series of successful works.
I haven't listened to the album in a while, but I will revisit it... among the tracks, I remember, besides Marinai, Biancaneve... more

Matia Bazar — Tango | DeRank™: 6,12

A quite original album, at least in Italy at the time, followed closely by the subsequent Aristocratica. Classy Synth-Pop, it completes the turning point initiated with the previous album, delivering us the most original Matia Bazar... a shift caused by the departure of Piero Cassano. Antonella Ruggiero delivers a top-notch performance. In reality, the rating is 4.5. more
