Scorn — Vae Solis | DeRank™: 0,00

After contributing to the creation of Grindcore with the first part of "Scum" in Napalm Death, Mick Harris and Nick Bullen found themselves in the early nineties setting up the chilling creature Scorn. Nightmare Post-Grind; the first album Vae Solis is a journey, a fall into the vastness of dark hells spanning 75 minutes filled with suffocating industrial noise, samples, and stunning Ambient passages. The uninterrupted listening experience remains shocking even today. No peace, towards nothingness, towards the destruction of the human mind; it’s the 8 minutes of "On Ice" (a rather explicit title) that stands out as the most effective (s)brano, describing the unique approach of the English duo to sound material. They would never be able to replicate such chilling relentlessness again... SUCK AND EAT YOU... more

Black Sabbath — Paranoid | DeRank™: 20,57

Masterpiece. When out of 8 tracks there isn't a second to waste and when at least 6 of these tracks, one after another, are all among the most representative and valuable pieces of the band, then we are facing a record of absolute worth. Here the sound becomes even heavier, more monolithic, but we also find the surprising gem that I believe very few expected from them at the time, namely "Planet Caravan." Then there’s a stunning opener like "War Pigs," the riff of "Iron Man," and my favorite from "Paranoid," which is "Electric Funeral" and its mind-bending, vomitous riff. Monolith. more

Il teatro degli orrori | DeRank™: 2,50

Too much useless noise aimed at covering up the ramblings that want to be intellectually "significant" but are just annoying and senseless, doing harm (...or worse) to what dozens of Italian bands have done before them. Insignificant. more

A step below Plasteroid but with one of the most beautiful covers ever made, and a certain Galactica on 5 is out of the question. more

Let's forget about the '60s revivals, which were charming at first but then became tiresome; his solo albums were fascinating, original, and far from predictable, especially "Superivan" and "Urlo." And if he had avoided the antics from Big Brother, it would have definitely been for the best. more

I may be biased, but if a nearly 70-year-old man, suffering from cancer and just months away from his death, creates an album like "Blackstar," there’s no room for talk. more

If they had split up in the late '90s, we would remember them as a decent prog band. And indeed, Moore's departure hurt their sound more than a kick to the shins. The rating holds up until Falling Into Infinity (and partially Metropolis pt.2); afterward, they replaced them with lookalikes. more

Electronic dandy, cultured futurist with romantic nostalgia: a music of unions that only the eclecticism of this little Englishman could give birth to. more

Muse — Origin Of Symmetry | DeRank™: 9,34

A masterful album that tiptoes into each song before exploding; "the calm before the storm" is perhaps the expression that best represents "Origin of Symmetry," in my humble opinion, the best work of Muse. Inspired, refined, a classy piece that at the same time roars with its guitar bursts and Bellamy's excellent vocal performance. One of the must-haves in the collection among post-2000 albums. My favorites are Bliss and Citizen Erased, capable of both cradling and overwhelming you. SUBLIME more
