They have lived, live, and will live in an ugly limbo. They made dignified music that, however, will not remain in history either as the sacred monsters of psychedelia, progressive, hard rock, new wave, singer-songwriter etc., nor as the pop-rock-hip hop superstars that have etched themselves into the collective imagination for reasons other than their musical talents. This is the price to pay for those who become infatuated with a past era, renouncing to keep pace with their own. However, every now and then I listen to them to lighten my sometimes heavy listening. more

Arcade Fire | DeRank™: 0,00

A classic glaring example of an overrated band. This doesn't mean they're bad, but after reading all the hype and praise about them, when it came time to listen to their records I wondered what they have that others don't. They're good, sure, but for me, they're just part of the pack. I don't understand all this fuss over "Funeral," in particular. I actually like their subsequent albums more. more

The greatest Italian group of all time. Above everything and everyone. Oh, and Demetrio Stratos. 5 is too little. more

Antonello Venditti -Quando verrà Natale
Martello
Antonello's slowest album but at the same time one of the most inspired. The B-side is worth the price for Campo de fiori, Figli del domani, and the arrangement of the title track. The A-side, while also very inspired, progresses more slowly and there’s a risk of losing the thread (especially in Piazzale degli eroi, which seems to last an eternity, despite a beautiful text). Nonetheless, it remains a really beautiful album, but compared to his other works, I find it heavier upon a superficial listen. more

Roberto Vecchioni — Montecristo | DeRank™: 0,09

A very cryptic album, perhaps Roberto's most "difficult," yet stunning. Probably the second to last gasp of the best Vecchioni, even though the next one is slightly superior. I would rate it 4.5. more

Claudio Baglioni — E tu… | DeRank™: 0,00

After four pitiful albums, finally Mister Agonia starts to release something interesting, arrangements (in collaboration with Vangelis) truly well-crafted. Among Baglioni's works from the 70s, this is definitely the most convincing. 4 solid balls. more
claudio baglioni -questo piccolo grande amore
Ditta
Slightly less worse than its namesake from '70 and "Un cantastorie..." (71), but just slightly. And still really awful (the title track, in particular, I have always found annoying). Rating: 2 stars, not even quite full. more

One of the greatest disasters ever to happen to music. From this point onward, it will completely tarnish everything good it produced between '81 and '95. more
