For once, the album should be credited to the Heartbreakers & Tom Petty. A perfect Rock'n'Roll machine for four hours of pure musical fun. An essential soundtrack for long highway rides. more

I have to buy this record. It was recommended to me by reliable people from Debasio, and I was expecting good things. Oh, it’s WAY better than I hoped for. This debut album is electrifying. A guy born with completely messed up skin pigmentation (or maybe it’s the vocal cords that are messed up, I don’t know) with the biggest voice-face discrepancy I’ve ever seen, presents a series of bomb songs filled with R&B, Funk, Soul, and killer grooves, that voice just there to then slow things down with the last tracks, showcasing also a magnificent romantic "crooner." Antonio Giovanni Bianco navigates as an excellent singer-songwriter (the entire first half of the record), an outstanding interpreter (Bacharach, his fellow countryman Slim Harpo, Jim Webb, etc.), and also a damn good guitarist, acid and Funkybombastic. While he’s at it, he also writes a classic like "Polk Salad Annie." Amazing, well done, encore. more

"Tubular Bells," "Ommadawn," and "Crises" are works of the highest caliber, musically of truly exceptional class. Underrated even as a guitarist, as well as a composer. more

What can you say about him? That he’s not good, not prepared, that he hasn’t written some beautiful songs? Sure, listening to him is another thing, but I’d say a 5 for his career is fair, maybe 4, because in fact he’s got a bit of a rough edge too. more

Gino Paoli — Milestones | DeRank™: 0,02

An album brimming with exciting arrangements and simple lyrics, about love, but written with absolute passion and attention to every little word. The musicians playing on it are something alien. more

Fabrizio De André | DeRank™: -9,09

Influenced by Dylan, and it shows. Two good albums, the rest quite mediocre. As singer-songwriters, Battiato and Battisti are definitely on another level. In short, he’s the typical artist mentioned by hipster/loser snobs to show they understand music, when in reality, in 99% of the cases, they listen to unlistenable stuff!!! more

Le Orme — Uomo Di Pezza | DeRank™: 0,03

Among new sweet flavors, children's games, closed doors, fleeting images, cardboard figures, dawns to wait for, and alienation, one of the most refined and poetic albums of Italian progressive music. more

Disney | DeRank™: -2,53

In my 85 years of history -referring to Walt Disney Pictures- I truly only appreciate about 5-6 "things": Uncle Scrooge in search of the Lost Lamp, The Aristocats, Pocahontas, Toy Story 2, Finding Nemo, and the first Cars. A Goofy Movie, the last "vue" two weeks ago, bored me quite a bit.
p.s. I would love to watch Up! again; after all, "pixar" is nothing but the combination of "pixeled" and "picture," for those who didn't know, and has been owned by the Walt Disney Company for almost three decades. more

Piero Scaruffi | DeRank™: 2,97

One forgets that Scaruffi treats rock music as art and filters only the essentials. Complaining about "negative" ratings of one's favorites or bestsellers, alongside the crowd, is more superficial than the rule (which everyone misinterprets) that Scaruffi listens to some albums only once because there’s nothing else to understand. He remains almost always consistent with his thought, and his criteria for judgment are different from any other critic: a 6 from him is practically equivalent to a 70 in today's world, and a 6.5/7 is an album of absolute value. I think I have read hundreds and hundreds of his pages, learning a lot and, why not, teaching much as well. His values are subjective, and when he was writing his notes or creating the consultable database in ftp or the website, he didn’t have all this traffic of people following him. Believing he’s a blowhard just because he has opinions different from yours makes me question who the real blowhard is. zot. more

Francesco Guccini — Live@ RTSI | DeRank™: 0,00

Effective concert, straightforward, simple and bare sounds, yet clean and efficient in enhancing Guccini's lyrical work. 3 for the character that I don't particularly like and for some interruptions in the midst of a masterpiece like "Bologna". more
