The controversial definitions

A much-discussed work by Massive Attack, touted as another masterpiece in the pre-release phase, turned out to be a disappointing revelation for many fans. This album features unexpected sounds that require careful examination to be truly savored. It's a record that certainly grows on you over time, despite many claiming its potential "temporal saturability." For me, it's a wonderful album, with an atypical but engaging verve. more

This guy was the first. And here we are. Chronological merit. But anyway, due to biological reasons, he made few albums. Credit to history, but as an artist he was over-instrumentalized. I repeat: he made few albums, extraordinary at the time, now history, but pairing him with the greatest (in what way remains a mystery) seems exaggerated to me. more

Matia Bazar | DeRank™: 0,00

Of course, the vote only refers to the period with Ruggiero. They produced some of the best albums within the Italian music scene. Highly skilled musicians, minds that loved to experiment, an INFINITE singer—Matia Bazar have never lacked anything. Matia Bazar, Tounée, Il tempo del sole, and Tango remain examples of pure Italian class, deserving of success even abroad. I won't even comment on the rest; as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't exist. more

Pink Floyd | DeRank™: -1,79

Many beautiful ideas, but even more so a lot of "filler" music. Typical of progressive. Noises, "weird" sounds, "field recordings," effects, indefinable atmospheres. Fools are those who fall for it. Sick are those who appreciate it. Still, talented and respectable. But mostly, it remains music for the dental waiting room. more

They made some beautiful albums. A down-to-earth band, because they alternated refined pieces (No quarter) with much more typical ones (hot dog, rock'n roll). It's not an easy thing to do, especially back then. It's a shame there are always some who use them to act high and mighty while snubbing artists who are, by the way, quite similar to them. These people are inconsistent. more

Indeed, it’s very cheesy and pompous as many had told me, but I liked it anyway; I will delve deeper with more listens. more

Frank Zappa | DeRank™: -0,26

When a musician has very few ideas, if they are stupid, they will end up creating a barrage of "stuff-filled" albums "vaguely identifiable as sounds" and other "useless" things like "noises, laughter, and who knows what else." But even more foolish are those who present themselves to the world as fans. The truly foolish ones are those who actually appreciate it. A colossal fool, even in terms of their appearance and album covers. more

It's practically disliked by everyone, but those who claim to love it do so just to give themselves an air, to be special, different from the crowd. It's psychologically understandable. more
