Guy de Maupassant | DeRank™: 0,09

Have you ever read his mystery stories? They are metaphysically impressive. And Bel-Ami is a book that should be taught in schools to delve into the mediocrity of the average man... more

Well: the history and myth of photography, Genius of the image. Even if in that shoot with Lindsay Lohan as Marilyn he really hit rock bottom (though I'm not a fan of Marilyn): a total disgrace, an abortion of art. more

For the courage shown in recording albums without having the slightest idea of how to play an instrument or tune a guitar, they deserve to be awarded as the most troll-like group in history. And we can never thank ESP enough for bringing them into the recording studio. more

Overkill — I Hear Black | DeRank™: 0,00

The first CD by Overkill that, in my opinion, doesn't quite make the grade (even if just barely). Too disjointed, "unnatural" compared to what the Americans had produced up to that point. It's like saying: a change that could be acceptable but seems not to be in the band's wheelhouse. Several tracks come off as forced and much less straightforward than in the past. As far as I'm concerned, "I Hear Black" is a slight misstep. 5.5/10 more

Os Mutantes — Mutantes | DeRank™: 4,48

An album that overflows with madness and genius from every pore. A Brazilian tropicalia band completely off the rails and high on LSD. more

Overkill — Horrorscope | DeRank™: 2,06

An album that connects to the frantic rhythms of the first two works, less "thought-out" than the previous (and essential) "The Years Of Decay." Nice but not amazing. It loses some punch, especially in the choruses. However, tracks like "Blood Money," "Thanx For Nothing," and "New Machine" outshine 99% of everything produced nowadays in the thrash scene. 7.5/10 more

Ahahah, I got caught by Solletico when I went there in 1999 singing along to his unbearable hit in playback... But a question arises: after telling her she was too beautiful so many times... did he end up sleeping with her??? more

Vasco Rossi | DeRank™: 0,58

The first part wasn't bad at all, even believable in the role of the local rocker, but then... in 40 years of career, he has never become either a decent musician or a respectable songwriter. Shame on you, old drunkard, Fiasco Rossi! Isn't a blank page better than struggling and crapping out songs written and arranged by others, locked in a cage like a monkey at the zoo? more

I doubted whether it was a false memory or some kind of hallucination; his presence in the Database confirms that we are facing a sad reality. However, this useless idiot did one very wise thing: he evaporated.. more
