Baustelle — La malavita | DeRank™: 3,00

After two niche albums, they sign with Warner, get booed by their early fans, but sell out massively, so hats off. The album, musically catchy and narratively surprising, is a sort of tribute to the Italian '70s poliziottesco cinema, with its tones and moods. Bianconi is in a state of grace, and all over Italy songs like "La guerra è finita," "Un romantico a Milano," "Il corvo Joe," which are not easy, are bouncing around. Tracks to memorize like "Sergio," "A vita bassa," "Il nulla" smell of The Smiths, as hasn't been seen for (too) long in the Belpaese. more
Francesco Guccini -Metropolis
JpLoyRow
The slow dying of cities intersects with the slow perishing of the people who inhabit them: a record that is at times magnificent, sumptuous ("Bisanzio"), ironic ("Bologna"), narratively engaging ("Antenor"), goosebump-inducing ("Lager"), tear-jerking ("Venezia"). With some tracks hinting at filler material, but there's enough substance and plenty, plenty of meat. popola: more
Giorgio Gaber -Io non mi sento italiano
JpLoyRow
Released posthumously, Gaber's last work (a hoarse, aged, suffering voice) seems like an artistic and spiritual legacy, almost a testament. The closing track "Se ci fosse un uomo" is the final possible hope: a new civilization that replaces our inevitably sick world. The hope, however, is also found in "Non insegnate ai bambini," plus some past songs reinterpreted in a modern key. Irony is guaranteed ("Il corrotto"), but the tone is, ça va sans dire, funereal. possibile: more

Luca Carboni — Luca Carboni | DeRank™: 3,00

A beautiful album, a product of its time and of a restless generation that Carboni outlined with refinement and good pop taste. Songs like "La voglia di vivere," "Vieni a vivere con me," "Farfallina," and "Silvia lo sai" will go down in history, while tracks that seem weaker at first, like "Lungomare" or "Caro Gesù," are signs of definitive maturation, not only musically. more

Tiziano Ferro — Alla Mia Età | DeRank™: 0,00

Third work by the artist from Latina, the first not produced by the Salerno/Maionchi duo. The previous album ("Nessuno è solo") already sounded like a step back compared to the r&b that characterized the first two albums (Canova's production helped a lot), this one is an unbearable whining in which our guy tells us, through music, all his little and big existential dramas almost as if the audience were his psychiatrist. There’s Fossati ("Indietro"), there’s Battiato ("Il tempo stesso") but there’s (a lot) little substance, only the curious "La traversata dell'estate" and the big single "Il regalo più grande" save the album. Not much, Mr. Ferro. more

Castrivenian | DeRank™: 0,00

Born in 2024 in Brazil, Castrivenian immediately stood out for their raw and atmospheric black metal, imbued with vampiric, lycanthropic, and misanthropic themes. Their first full-length album, "Reborn from the Ashes," was released on July 6, 2025 via Onlyhate Propaganda in a super-limited edition (only 10 CD-R copies). more

To say, is it the most beautiful of De André after "Creuza de ma"? I vote yes. more
Subsonica -Microchip Emozionale
JpLoyRow
They go to Sanremo with "Tutti i miei sbagli" and suddenly, half of Italy knows them. Their second album soars in the charts thanks also to good quality and a very high rate of potential hits ("Colpo di pistola"; "Liberi tutti"; "Discolabirinto"), even though their manifesto (cultural and existential) is "Il mio DJ." Electronics at an excellent level, with contributions from Morgan, Daniele Silvestri, and DJ Coccoluto. more
