Otto Strasser | DeRank™: 0,00

Strasserotto, the mythical winger of the Azzurra, was quite good at cursing for how much he ran aimlessly, but his strong suit was the flatulence on the wing that undoubtedly irritated the opponent of the moment. more

Sophia — De Nachten | DeRank™: 0,00

a very intense live experience, but one that does not do justice to the emotional and sonic power that the collective is able to unleash in a live setting. more

Robert Fripp — Exposure | DeRank™: 0,00

Heterogeneous Frippian exposure. There’s Gabriel and a more acoustic Here Comes the Flood. There’s Peter Hammill in the pre/post/similar punk Disengage. There’s the elegant AOR of Daryl Hall in North Star. There’s plenty of Frippertronics mixed with soul rhythms in Exposure. There’s the crimsonian Breathless, a tightly wound instrumental with frequent metric changes, a smashing main riff in 7/4, and former Mahavishnu Walden on drums. Finally, there’s Bennett’s lesson: “It is impossible to achieve an aim without suffering.” more

Sophia — Technology Won't Save Us | DeRank™: 0,00

A more structured work than the previous ones, it showcases greater electric sparks and some more pronounced pop veins. Immense class, great songwriting, constantly evolving lyrics. Truly beautiful. more

Sophia — Fixed Water | DeRank™: 0,00

Unavoidable. Perhaps many will find it sad, but I consider it a necessary album, a dazzling exorcism of all human fears (death, solitude). One can fully grasp the entire repertoire of Sophia only by studying the life of Robin Proper-Sheppard. Dark, almost claustrophobic at times, but one can feel the clear need to return to living after a terrifying loss. more

Sophia — There Are No Goodbyes | DeRank™: 0,00

Great album, lighter and more rhythmic than the previous ones. It might lose a bit of pathos, but it flows very well. more

Sophia — The Infinite Circle | DeRank™: 0,00

A wonderful album. Sad, an introspective journey made of beautiful ballads and delicate touches. An unknown masterpiece to most. more

Sophia | DeRank™: 0,00

An incredible musical project, led by Robin Proper-Sheppard, former mastermind of "The God Machine", is born as a remedy for the singer's soul, still reeling from the sudden death of the bassist, which marked the end of the band. Cathartically sad, melancholic, yet very introspective, true, human. When I listen to them, I wonder how come Coldplay (overrated) finds success and they do not. more

Sophia — People Are Like Seasons | DeRank™: 0,00

An autumn album, filled with meaning and introspective. From a project that deserves much more visibility. more

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 — 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
