Natalie Merchant — Motherland | DeRank™: 5,20

Setting to music today's social and political twists is no easy task, given the complex web of the global situation. Therefore, completing such a work without falling into rhetoric or triviality requires an analytical capacity expressible only through metaphorical language. Natalie Merchant, former leader of 10,000 Maniacs, has always possessed this aptitude, which, combined with a voice that is both velvety and deep, elevates her to the conscience of the country. The songs do not directly point to specific facts, but focus their exploration within the human and American soul: "Motherland." more

"Glam" attached to Roxy is a reduction of a great album where electronics, experimentation, and prog get married! more

I confess that I have always heard about them but never really explored their music, until I decided to listen to them closely, and I must say that I was truly excited. A typically American progressive pomp-rock of great quality. The genre they play often leans towards an "exalted AOR" with a constant tendency to go a bit over the top (IMHO), but with their prog arrangements and great technique, they manage to keep the "tastelessness" in check up until Monolith. A bit less so in the subsequent albums, although I still really like "Audio-Visions" and "Vinyl Confessions," especially the latter. The latest "The Prelude Implicit" is also a great work. more

An author endowed with a very rare sensitivity. Despite the countless praises for his poetic and songwriting abilities, it's rare to read lyrics that are so full of humanity and empathy. This alone would be enough for full marks. I also want to add that I personally appreciate his elementary composition style, which perfectly served (at least in the early period of his work) his lyrics. However, my favorite remains Anime Salve, where, with the help of Pagani and Fossati, he reaches the highest peaks. more

Victor Hugo — L'uomo che ride | DeRank™: 0,00

Parts of the novel describe the opulence and parasitism of the nobility, in contrast to the poverty in which the people find themselves. In particular, Hugo emphasizes that English nobles are referred to as lords, which in the English language means not only "master" but also "Lord" in a religious sense, "God." Indeed, subjects in English are also defined as subjects, meaning "submissive," but also broadly "citizens," "people."

The protagonist is himself a nobleman, the son of a noble severely punished for being "democratic" and "republican," thus close to the suffering people. The author brings to the public's attention the struggle that actually occurred between nobles of high moral stature, who were close to the people, and conservative nobles who, during that historical period, oppressed the population to enjoy enormous privileges.
