The Tea Party | DeRank™: 0,00

Canadian band with, I believe, two excellent albums, completely overlooked. A real shame. Music fully immersed in the 70s. Imagine Led Zeppelin in a full trip for eastern world music, experimenting with various percussion, strange string instruments, delving into vaguely ethno prog territories, with Jim Morrison on vocals. This is what The Tea Party was. The first album was more canonically rock, while the second was more oriented towards ethnic sounds. Works to be re-evaluated. more

Dream Theater — Octavarium | DeRank™: 0,00

There's prog-rock, there's metal, there's radio-friendly pop-rock, there's Muse-style rock, there's nu-metal, there's brit-pop ballads... The Dream Theater understood that they didn't have to stick to the usual prog-metal... Fans and purists, however, did not! Too bad for them of course, let them stay in their stubbornness! more

a shameful greeting to those who say that money doesn't bring happiness.
you make a lot of cash, you're full of girls, you drive a Ferrari, travel the world, and spend your holidays on yachts in the sea.
I don't have a dime, my wife has a mustache, I have a 67’ Vespa, and in the summer I rent a pedal boat to get around because an hour costs a lot.
but fuck it! hypocrisy! more

Damn, if only they had developed some of the experiments better...

Good album anyway, excellent dark melodies. more

They wanted to make a sound reminiscent of the seventies rock... Couldn't they? more

Giardini di Mirò | DeRank™: 0,00

Italian post-rock, the answer to Mogwai. It could have worked at the beginning, but in the long run, it locked them in a limbo from which they have never managed to escape, demonstrating their lack of personality. more

Word charmer, simple yet sophisticated, leaving you unsure of your whereabouts; between the city and the countryside, between Genoa and New Orleans, on some Mediterranean island or in some exotic corner of the Pacific. more

I don't know, I wouldn't be so inclined to bet on 1... I wouldn't want to take a risk, but I think there's an opportunity for an away win here. more

Incredible to find CDs like this in an Autogrill behind summer compilations and Zucchero's albums. And yet it still has a power that would sweep away the whole shelf. 1-2-3-4! White riot, I wanna riot... more

Helmet — Strap It On | DeRank™: 0,00

Heavy as a boulder. Riffs like chainsaws. A hell of an album and the absolute zenith of Page Hamilton's combo, one of the greatest riffmakers in history. I saw them live in 1994... I was stunned. And deaf for a week! more

Masterpiece. Period. The most filthy, rotten, and depraved of the Lizard. Yow spits, vomits, screams, raves, and regurgitates gastric juices and shit: he remains one of my favorite vocalists, in spite of various Freddie Mercury! My favorite of the Lizard, and one of my all-time favorite albums! more
