Coldplay — X & Y | DeRank™: 0,00

An album that may grow on you as you listen to it. The Kraftwerkian rendition of Talk/Computer Love is nice, and the increased use of electronic instruments such as synthesizers is commendable. All in all, however, it’s a mediocre album in terms of creative offering. It deserves a 3.5. more

A beautiful, decisive, effective pop rock. Good study of the tracks and nice melodies. A drop in quality with "Green Eyes" and "Amsterdam," which make you want to vomit. more

Coldplay — Christmas Lights | DeRank™: 0,00

The usual pop omelet, which even comes out individually, in a completely isolated context, created solely for the exclusive need to sell and to be able to show up under the tree even in 2011. All in all, a nice and catchy song, pure Coldplay style, the theme for a possible movie finale titled "Christmas at Chris Martin's House." more

Coldplay — Prospekt's March EP | DeRank™: 0,00

A fall from grace, in my opinion. A return to the origins that I really didn't want to expect after a beautiful and innovative Viva La Vida. Simple and shamefully pop. Only "Life in Technicolor II" is nice. more

Coldplay — Letf Right Left Right | DeRank™: 0,00

Mediocre live EP that fully showcases the pop potential of the band. Nice idea to distribute it for free at the shows (even though here, our very own Elio E Le Storie Tese are winning with their "Brulè" CDs) but it's not really a "must." more

Angra — Acoustic... and More | DeRank™: 0,00

A collector's gem. The acoustic versions are beautiful, although the recordings are a bit poor despite being produced in 1998 (and not in Burundi). In itself, it's an album that could have not existed in Angra's discography, but on the other hand, it's only found in the "Holy Box" set, so its sole and obvious commercial purpose was also expected. more

Lana Del Rey | DeRank™: 2,52

I don't care if it's plastic or carefully crafted. It has charm, and its album, already among my favorites, features some truly remarkable tracks (Born To Die, Video Games, Carmen). more

Lana Del Rey | DeRank™: 0,00

I like her in alternating moments: I appreciated her evolution from the debut to "Honeymoon," with "Lust for Life" she annoyed me, with "Norman Fucking Rockwell" she captivated me, and now I honestly don't know what to think about the last two. The fact is that over time she has carved out her own niche and a style that has become a real trademark, and from being a plasticky and hyper-constructed character, she has found a quite interesting identity, which elevates her far above many colleagues who start off strong at debut only to vanish into thin air. more

Creativity may not be her strong suit, but she has a stunning voice, and her piano ballads with soul undertones are a wonder. more

Iron Maiden | DeRank™: 0,00

Timeless, they have always managed to keep up with the times and offer, album after album, a sound that is always cutting-edge and consistent with their genre. At times, they have presented less than commendable works, perhaps due to somewhat turbulent periods; lately, they have dedicated too much to "fanmaking," distributing avoidable live shows and "Best Of" collections that are inherently useless (although, it must be admitted, they are always helpful for those experiencing them for the first time). 5 points for them (maybe 4.5). more

Iron Maiden — the Final Frontier | DeRank™: 0,00

Unnecessary album, it brings nothing new and poorly wraps up the excellent discography of an immortal group. Not that the songs are bad, but after a slow "AMOL&D," perhaps something consistently heavy was needed, but not identical to the previous album. In my opinion, they have pushed too much towards Progressive Heavy Metal, which has somewhat hindered them. If it were a transitional album, one could overlook it, but being declared as their final work, they may have made a serious mistake. more

A successful album. Iron Maiden reaffirm their ability to keep up with the times and present a non-nostalgic (these days, songs like "Prowler" would sound like simple hard rock) and aggressive Heavy Metal. Heavy Metal, pure, heavy, just as only they can deliver. Those who do not appreciate this album often fall into a nostalgic "better in the DiAnno days" or a dismissive "the usual riffs," which is based solely on tonal analysis, but not on the rhythmic and melodic understanding of the sin. more

Iron Maiden — Fear Of The Dark | DeRank™: 0,00

The right heavy metal of the early '90s. Aggressive, brilliant, wicked. I consider this album on par with Piece Of Mind, meaning good songs paired with skippable tracks. more

Iron Maiden — Piece of mind | DeRank™: 0,00

The lineup change raises the Maiden by a notch. They finally offer a new, strong, and well-defined heavy sound. It doesn’t deserve 5 stars because there are still those "a little bit like this" songs in the tracklist that you’d gladly "skip" during a full listen of the album. more

Iron Maiden — Killers | DeRank™: 0,00

Iron Maiden reaffirm their heavy presence more than ever, with this album they can proudly carry the banner of NWOBHM. A heavy sound that is anything but predictable, which doesn’t lean too much on previous genres and at times can echo their own sound from many future albums. A good achievement. One of the best from the band, in my opinion. more

Iron Maiden — Virtual XI | DeRank™: 0,00

An album full of good ideas, poorly executed by the lineup. Bailey sings well, but he's not suited to the Maiden sound. In the future, during live performances, they'll be able to reinterpret and revitalize them thanks to Dickinson (see "The Clansman" at Rock In Rio). Mediocre. more

By the late '80s, Synth Pop reigns. The Maiden deliver the most striking Heavy Metal of those years, heavy, aggressive, but not necessarily retrograde and “mummified.” An album with an innovative and contemplative sound (just as they like it and I do too). Well-presented and structured songs that go a bit beyond the usual chord progressions and pentatonic solos. One of the most successful in the band's career. more
