The Beatles — help! | DeRank™: 9,75

The album with which the Beatles truly begin to win me over, more mature and showcasing their ever-growing ability to write perfect pop melodies. Here I find a particularly inspired Lennon ("Help!", "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away," and "It's Only Love" standing out, but he doesn't miss a beat on this album) and two stunning contributions from Harrison ("I Need You" especially). And McCartney? McCartney has the two minutes of eternal melodic perfection in "Yesterday" (virtually his first solo effort by the end), throw them away. Not that his other songs are bad, mind you (I love "I Just Seen a Face"). If the album has a downside, it's the Beatles as cover artists, which I don't really love, but even here, their "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" doesn't bother me this time. more

Queensrÿche — Empire | DeRank™: 4,01

One of the best albums I've had the pleasure of listening to. Don't be fooled by the simplicity of some tracks; listen to it and listen to it again, it might surprise you. Operation: Mindcrime is obviously another story, but it still remains at extremely high levels. more

Negrita | DeRank™: 3,74

Good band. Sneaky, yes, but with style. Strong melodic sense, more than decent arrangements, and Pau’s voice is quite good: I find it very suitable for the type of (pop) rock they offer. I don’t understand how they can bother so many people. If there’s a band that “doesn’t act all high and mighty,” it’s them. Seeing the Negrita mocked and terrible stuff like le Vibrazioni praised makes me feel as sad as a lion on a diet. Excellent the very latest "Desert Yacht Club." more

Led Zeppelin — III | DeRank™: 1,94

Inspired by the beautiful Welsh hills, Page and Plant unleash their most intimate, acoustic, and folk side, which especially bursts forth in the second half of the album (but it starts with the beautiful "Friends"). Given that Led Zeppelin, as creators or interpreters of folk music, have always produced great work, we find four splendid songs one after the other: from their personal rendition of the traditional British "Gallows Pole" (which becomes a wild "dance") to the homage to their Welsh retreat in "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp," passing through two gems like "Tangerine" and "That's the Way." It's also true that the masterpiece of the album remains in the realms of the most intense Blues with the immense "Since I've Been Loving You." The album is also inspired in its electric/hard-rock tracks, where the evergreen "Immigrant Song" reigns. It concludes with a special tribute to a friend and an immense, yet always underappreciated, master, Roy Harper. more

The Doors — Morrison Hotel | DeRank™: 2,89

It's certainly not one of the best by the Doors, that's for sure. I've always preferred the Morrison Hotel side (side B) of this album over the Hard Rock Café side (side A); don't get me wrong, side A features the well-known tracks Roadhouse Blues and Peace Frog, while side B definitely contains their most underrated songs, but not for me, I love the jazz of The Spy and Queen Of The Highway and the sweet psychedelia of Indian Summer. more

Slade — Slayed? | DeRank™: 0,42

When I was a teenager, when they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would say a lap dance dancer, and I already knew that one of the albums that would accompany my performances would definitely be this one. Unfortunately, capitalism chose other paths, but this remains a fucking album of sex, drugs, lap dance, and rock and roll. more

Virgin Steele -Age of Consent

Virgin Steele — Age of Consent | DeRank™: 3,35

What was supposed to represent the album of consecration for Virgin Steele becomes the point that could have led them to dissolution. The record label under which Age Of Consent was released went bankrupt shortly after its release, the tour was canceled, and for almost 5 years the VS monicker seemed to have vanished. However, this does not detract from the greatness of the pieces and the compositional artistic maturity reached by Defeis and Pursino, of which The Burning Of Rome (Cry For Pompeii) is the best example. Also worth mentioning is the power of songs like Let It Roar and the fantastic Lion In Winter, or the dramatic Tragedy and Cry Forever. A must-have for fans of the Epic genre, and essential for understanding the path of Virgin Steele as a turning point. more
