Led Zeppelin — Led Zeppelin IV | DeRank™: 0,78

Probably the zenith of Led Zeppelin (almost on par with Led Zeppelin I), not only for "Stairway To Heaven," the real gem is "When The Levee Breaks." more

Oh, for me this debut from the extraordinary backing singers of Aretha Franklin (and in the solo debut of Van Morrison, and in the most beautiful album of Dusty Springfield, and with Presley, etc.) is worth 5 stars. Exceptional selection of tracks (among an Isaac Hayes, a Bacharach/David, and a Cropper, they even squeeze in two big numbers from the contemporary Aretha repertoire, from I Never Loved a Man... which they had just participated in), impeccable interpretations, some exceptional. Between grooves and killer melodies, it's an album without dead moments. "Reach Out for Me" by Burt & Hal is still a cut above the rest, an eternal melody. more

Minor Victories — Minor Victories | DeRank™: 0,00

First album of the supergroup composed of Rachel Goswell (Slowdive), Stuart Braithwaite (Mogwai), and Justin Lockey of Editors, along with the latter's brother, filmmaker James Lockey, whose contribution as a musician will also involve giving a 'visual' aspect to the entire project. The album also features guests such as Mark Kozelek ('For You Always') and James Graham of Twilight Sad (Scattered Ashes - Song For Richard). The project clearly has some cinematic inspiration; the album opens with typically shoegaze sounds, then experiences a drop in tone and ultimately evolves into an emotional kind of soundtrack. I wasn't particularly thrilled by it, perhaps because it's too ethereal, but it's a well-made work and definitely more than listenable. more

Band Of Horses — Why Are You OK | DeRank™: 0,00

They are undoubtedly one of the most celebrated and loved bands in the indie scene right now (a label that might even feel too tight for them, as it's more about attitude than a real status). Personally, I’ve never considered them much, and I listened to the album without any great expectations. Well, in that sense, I couldn’t help but appreciate it. Why not? What I mean is that you must really not like them to say that an album like this isn’t at least listenable. If you’re looking for a masterpiece, just move on to something else. Clear enough? more

I believe this is the fourth album released by this band of crazy Australians in just 18 months. Four albums that, among other things, are each in some way different from one another in terms of structure, concept, and even listenability. In this context, 'Nonagon Infinity' (Heavenly Recordings) stands out as an acid chapter with frenetic rhythms. It’s a loud album featuring some riffs played at lightning speed and a certain garage aftertaste. In my opinion, they are difficult to pin down and define (if not as a collective of wild fools), but I think this is precisely their main strength. They're always ready to shock the listener, and this is a quality, a virtue that few possess. more

Comedy directed by Peter Chelsom and starring Simon Pegg as Hector, a psychiatrist who suddenly grows tired of the monotony of his life and embarks on a journey around the world in search of happiness. He will experience a thousand adventures across the globe before returning home in what is a predictable happy ending. The cast is rich with Jean Reno, Stellan Skarsgård, and even Christopher Plummer, but it’s a film that feels almost familiar and could even end up boring the viewer. more

Black Sabbath | DeRank™: 0,98

6 masterpieces in a row, a slight dip in awful punk-style albums, and a grand return with Ronnie James Dio. Then, let's add the fact that they invented metal; we are dealing with a mythological band. I'm sorry that this year will be their last tour, and I'll be there to see them... After all, everyone has been, at some point in their life, an "Iron Man." more

An atypical Western directed by Bob Altman. The story is set in a small, snowy mining village and revolves around the figure of John McCabe (Warren Beatty), an unconventional hero for the genre, who could either be a ruthless, bloodthirsty man or simply a braggart. Because of these characteristics, he might remind one of some of Giuliano Gemma or Terence Hill's portrayals in the genre, but here the content leans more towards drama. Julie Christie received an Oscar nomination for her role as Mrs. Miller, the brothel keeper owned by McCabe, who then becomes the object of contention with a large mining company eager to take ownership at any cost. Not a masterpiece, but the analysis and description of the character are worth the price of admission. more
