Sonic Youth — Evol | DeRank™: 0,00

Alternative "cyber/futurist." more
Butthole Surfers -Psychic... Powerless... Another Man's Sac
Dragonstar
Crazy and unsettling, yet ironic and absurd. A proposal that touches various branches of heavy music to create a one-of-a-kind style. A milestone of rock! more
Roy Harper -Flat Baroque and Berserk
Dragonstar
Respectful unplugged, suspended between Dylan and British tradition, with an adrenaline-pumping final twist. A masterpiece. more

Too much madness. But without it, no way I would have known Van Der Graaf Generator, Caravan, Camel, Gentle Giant, Tom Waits, Neil Young, etc... Not to mention the good reviews that are often around, if not perfect ones. Alright. Come on. Let's fix the ride. 4 balls. more

Gong — Angel's Egg | DeRank™: 6,92

The playful and quirky side of Canterbury is a magical record capable of flowing "lightly" until the end, marked by brilliant instrumental insights and "escapes." After so many years, it still remains in my discography, as it is enjoyable and easy to listen to, but not simplistic or trivial. more

Black Sabbath — Mob rules | DeRank™: 1,83

Just today, after a couple of weeks, I turned on the car stereo again, and there was Mob Rules on the third track, "The Sign Of The Southern Cross" for those who are less informed. Now you might say, how is that possible? You drove around in the car for weeks without music as background?? You must be crazy!!! Anyway, the album reminded me that I still hadn’t given a definition and a rating to the record... What can I say, it's inferior to its predecessor, but still superior to the myriad of metal albums that have been released in recent years!! more
Magma -Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh

Is it ever possible that every time I reach the end of the album, I end up in tears?! ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE! HOW MUCH I LOVE MAGMA! more

Great album, playful and fun. more
Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds -The Good Son
bonny99
This album has an incredible melodic sophistication (at times it could even be defined as pop) that reflects Nick Cave of that period: it is no longer an album on the brink of the abyss like "Tender Prey," but rather the album that marks the achievement of a balance. more
Gentle Giant -The Power and the Glory
tonysoprano
Sixth magnificent album for Gentle Giant, who triumph once again with a concept album, this time with a grotesque and satirical portrayal of the questionable methods of a monarch. Wonderful... more

Tim Buckley — Happy Sad | DeRank™: 1,75

This is for me his best album. Nostalgic folk blues of incredible intensity. Dream Letter is one of the 5 most moving songs ever written.

Tim Buckley — Starsailor | DeRank™: 0,00

When I listen to this album, I feel like I’m on the bank of a river/lake of stagnant water, surrounded by bamboo reeds, in a landscape where the predominant color is a dull yellow. It's amazing how music can be so evocative sometimes... What do you see in this album? (besides a masterpiece) more
Rino Gaetano -Mio fratello è figlio unico
tonysoprano
Magnificent, musically simple, yet refined at the same time. The lyrics, well, speak for themselves. Beautiful...
"My brother is an only child
Because he is convinced that Chinaglia can't transfer to Frosinone
Because he is convinced that the secret to happiness does not lie in the bitter benedictine
Because he is convinced that even those who don’t read Freud can live for a hundred years" more

Yeah... I think I'm the only one who is attached to this album. I've always liked it, don't stone me for that! more
Gentle Giant -In a Glass House
tonysoprano
The sound of breaking glass capable of creating a rhythmic section at the beginning of the opener. After the first 20 seconds, the album already kicks off with a bang... Let's add the rest, and we'll have yet another masterpiece from Gentle Giant, their fifth in a row. THANK YOU AGAIN GENTLE GIANT. more

Lynyrd Skynyrd — Second Helping | DeRank™: 8,26

Legendary and mythical both in the studio and live... even though I might now be a bit in the vintage era, they are the only ones who still make me crank up the stereo volume, said by someone who has never been a convinced rock'n roll, rock, southern rock, hard rock, metal etc. enthusiast, but is closer to the less immediate sounds of blues and jazz, and who, since discovering them 40 years ago, still considers the L.S. the best in terms of rhythm and energy... (along with the beloved Little Feat) more

Björk — Debut | DeRank™: 0,00

Bjork drives me insane in an incredible way, not because of her, but because of her fans who consider her the best singer ever (which she isn't, despite her undeniable technical talent). The vocalizations are grand, the music, at least, is decent, not exceptional, with some interesting ideas. I would say she deserves the 4 balls. Well done Björk, I would have given you 1 ball for each album, but after all, mutatis mutandis, opinions change :) more
