Genesis — A Trick Of The Tail | DeRank™: 4,76

Affectively, this is my favorite album by Genesis, and even disregarding that, it remains on the podium of their best works for me. The idea that it doesn't measure up to the previous ones just because Gabriel isn't singing is a bit stale, I would say, indeed I'd call it a bit of 'a bullshit’. This is, along with "Foxtrot" (and perhaps "Nursery Cryme"), the most compact album devoid of weak points or dips in tension throughout their entire discography. 8 songs, 8 wonders—there's no escaping that. It’s the work of a mature group that, even deprived of an undoubtedly important element, rediscovers itself (after the complexities surrounding the making of "The Lamb") united, cohesive, and extraordinarily mature from a compositional and performative standpoint, with Banks finally taking the reins of the group completely and Collins proving to be an excellent lead vocalist and a charismatic performer, perfect to replace his friend. The highest moment? It changes with every listen, but today I'd say it's the soft sobbing, the almost restrained crying, that "Song of the Humpback Whale" from Hackett's guitar in the middle of "Ripples," beautifully dueling with Banks' keyboard. A masterpiece indeed. more

Overkill — Ironbound | DeRank™: 0,00

After a not-so-bright period for Blitz and company (2000-2009), Ironbound finally brings inspiration and freshness back to Overkill. The title track, Killing For Living, Endless War, and Bring Me The Night stand as testament that Overkill has been reborn, and the subsequent albums will only serve as further confirmation. more

Renaissance — Turn Of The Cards | DeRank™: 6,20

My favorite by Renaissance, I find it to be their most compact and cohesive album, with no weak points or less successful pieces. They are perfect when you seek music that is both refined (full of piano and "classical" references) and light and easy to listen to, almost "Pop" in its intentions, brimming with crystalline and extraordinarily inspired melodies (sometimes delightfully dark/melancholic and dramatic), elevated in the sung parts by the chettelodicoafare voice of Haslam. The lyrics aren't bad either, in fact. Here you have "Mother Russia," "Black Flame," and "Things I Don't Understand," all of which are among the best tracks of the group ("Running Hard" is nice too, but I find it a bit cumbersome in some passages), with spine-tingling moments and melodies, and then there is "Cold is Being," a dark and chilling landscape of death, drawn from the Adagio by "Albinoni" (which actually seems not to be by Albinoni) and played after having stripped the spine from Nico's grandfather, from Sardinia. more

Even though it doesn't drive me crazy, I consider it important for Italian singer-songwriter music. Perhaps with a few too many bass notes, but other than that, nothing to complain about. more

Zucchero — Un po' di Zucchero | DeRank™: 0,00

Still unripe, but the rhythm and many of its qualities can already be sensed. Well recorded and mixed. Great arrangements. Sometimes it seems to me that in some songs it resembles Pupo, but that's the eighties and the Sanremo influence. more
