I say it: Banco, in my opinion, has relied on the success of its first two albums. I find the rest of the production almost "superfluous" (no offense to the fans), but "Banco del Mutuo Soccorso" and "Darwin" are a melting pot of ideas. All excellent. more

Yes — Drama | DeRank™: 0,00

In my opinion, this album is the hidden gem of Yes, somewhat like their Animals. They tried to do something different by incorporating the Buggles into their lineup. The result is well above expectations. A pleasant surprise and a small, forgotten masterpiece. more

Yes — Relayer | DeRank™: 0,00

There are times when I like this album... other times I find it a bit superfluous to the band's story. Let me be clear, it’s still listenable... but somewhat lacking in ideas. more

Yes — Close To The Edge | DeRank™: 0,00

The albums of the band's expressive and artistic maturity. They may come across as too pompous, baroque, and excessive... But everything sounds incredibly good and cohesive. Art Rock is either loved or hated. However, one should still give this album and Fragile a listen. more

Yes — The Yes Album | DeRank™: 0,00

A wonderful album, perhaps even more so than "Close To The Edge" and "Fragile". A must-have. more

Yes — Big Generator | DeRank™: 0,00

Well, yes, you have to care for it a bit... Everything works, a lot of craft but little passion. The group comes out a bit altered. After all, it’s impossible for anyone to write 90125 twice. more

Yes — 90125 | DeRank™: 0,00

it's a "almost" unrecognizable band. But this album is perfect from several points of view. When they say "to renew oneself".. more

Yes — Going For The One | DeRank™: 0,00

An interesting album, with various moments of brilliance, but also shadows of a certain compositional fatigue. At times, it revisits the usual tried-and-true clichés of the band. Nevertheless, it is unmissable for progressive aficionados. more

Yardbirds — Little Games | DeRank™: 0,00

Last work in the band (before burning out and rebirthing as Dirigibile). An eye a bit too focused on the charts of the time, but also a desire to experiment. The fact is that Page couldn't do much more with that lineup... everything had to change. And so it did.
Anyway, "Think About It" is spectacular. more

Whitesnake — Saints And Sinners | DeRank™: 0,00

I give it a high rating only because it features half an album of masterpieces from the Band. However, the other half consists of pleasant but filler tracks. more

Whitesnake — Come An' Get It | DeRank™: 0,00

Pure Anglo-Saxon hard rock'n'roll, the swan song of a seasoned band that excels live. From "Saint and Sinners" everything changes irreparably. But here, there’s plenty of fun and dancing to be had. more

Whitesnake — Whitesnake | DeRank™: 0,00

A great 80s Hard Rock album! Not a masterpiece, but it flows smoothly and is always enjoyable to listen to (even if many are ashamed of it due to its excessive radio-friendliness). Sikes is a bit over the top (but that’s his trademark), yet he’s solid in terms of songwriting. Coverdale is Coverdale: some love him, some hate him. Personally, every time I revisit some live performances of Deep Purple Mark IV and Whitesnake pre-"Slide It In," I get chills. more

BARRACUDA BLUE
The consecration album: draws from Zappa and Gentle Giant to provide an abundance of ideas and inspirations to Queen. The marvelous pop of I'm Not in Love will make its presence felt everywhere, while the suite Une Nuit à Paris, compared to Bohemian Rhapsody, is definitely another world. Listen, people... listen! more

Area — Arbeit Macht Frei | DeRank™: 0,52

If you don't get it back, you can't understand most of the best local production. Seminal. more

A "minor" masterpiece. Its current popularity is owed to the film, which, although pleasant and well-made, loses a great deal compared to this masterpiece of literature. Essential, to be placed alongside "Watchmen" and "The Killing Joke." more

Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons — Watchmen | DeRank™: 0,00

Come on, don’t ask me to define Watchmen. There are people who have written their theses on it! Are we kidding? You just need to go down and buy the most expensive version and read it at least 12 times a year. If you don’t, your life will always feel a little emptier. more

Alan Moore — The Killing Joke | DeRank™: 0,00
