Alberto Fortis — Tra Demonio E Santità | DeRank™: 0,00

Second album by Alberto Fortis after the eponymous one released the year before, where the strengths were two catchy yet provocative tracks like 'Milano e Vincenzo' and 'A voi romani,' which remains perhaps his most famous work. However, this album, 'Demonio e santità' (1980), appears overall much more interesting than its predecessor in terms of lyrics and themes addressed. Fortis himself, regardless of the content, seems more mature and in command of the 'scene,' delivering more convincing vocal performances that manage to convey to the listener the clash between good and evil that constitutes the main concept of the album. more

Tommy Lee Jones — The Homesman | DeRank™: 0,00

Film written, directed, produced, and starring Tommy Lee Jones. The film is set in the mid-1800s in the old west and in what once constituted the 'frontier.' It is from here that Mary Bee (Hilary Swank) takes on the heavy task of transporting three women suffering from severe disorders and mental illnesses across the frontier, to Iowa, practically to the east. During the journey, she will meet and be assisted by George Briggs, a drifter and deserter whom she herself saves from hanging. It is an atypical western, where on one side the differences between the frontier world and life in the east of the country are highlighted, and on the other, the stories of the main characters are intertwined with the hallucinations of the three 'traveling' sick women. more

Def Leppard | DeRank™: 0,01

Those whom Scaruffi Piero ("PS" "the one with the rankings" "the one who hates the Beatles and gives a 7 to Aqua") gave a damn 7 (to Pyromania, no less... which is a nice hard rock album but far from a 7) and a 6.5 to Hysteria... by this metric alone, they should be considered miraculous or hypothetically one of the greatest bands ever, according to Scaruffi's random demolitions.
Well, I really liked Hysteria and there are very enjoyable tracks, a fun album without too many frills, and I've always appreciated this characteristic of theirs. more

J&R Project | DeRank™: 0,00

An extremely narcissistic and lustful man, pathologically and worryingly attached to classical music, has a visceral hatred not only for the aforementioned ELP but also for Allevi, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Cocciante ("simply atrocious"), Bocelli ("abomination"), Coldplay ("terrible, atrocious, unbearable, sentimental"), even Clooney ("clown") and anything that might even slightly touch his baroque and pompous fetishes—a very interesting and sometimes hilarious character, with whom I must agree on the definition of certain songbooks. more

Sundays & Cybele — Heaven | DeRank™: 0,00

A very beautiful LP by this garage-psychedelic band from Tokyo, Japan. Released via the usual brilliant label Beyond Beyond Is Beyond Records, the band's sound can be described as both electric ('Empty Seas') and kaleidoscopic ('Almost Heaven', 'Hinagiku'). The album is enjoyable to listen to and therefore suitable for listeners who may not be deeply into the psychedelic genre. With elements reminiscent of the more rock and roll Velvet Underground and the revival of psychedelic music, there's also a hint of what we could call Eastern pop-art mixed with vintage soundtracks from Japanese cartoons.

Demetrio Stratos | DeRank™: 0,00

The greatest frontman of all time, an alien, on another level compared to the rest. I refuse to define him as just a singer; he was something superior, something that enters your soul and leaves you speechless. That's who Demetrio Stratos was. more

Pablo Neruda | DeRank™: 3,00

But if every day,
every hour
you feel that you are destined for me
with relentless sweetness.
If every day a flower rises
to your lips seeking me,
ah, my love, ah mine,
in me all that fire repeats,
in me nothing extinguishes or forgets,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will stay in your arms
without leaving mine. more

He is a good singer, he has a great voice, and he recorded that beautiful album "Camere Con Vista," but other than that, I have some things to say. more

The Who | DeRank™: 0,83

A unique debut, with "My Generation" that has all the ingredients to enter history, a series of albums inspired by the psychedelic and beat music of the late '60s, a perfect rock opera ("Tommy"), a flawless and timeless live album in its simplicity ("Live At Leeds"), an album worthy of entering Olympus, a promoter of future punk ("Who's Next?"), a second high-level rock opera, and a series of good albums. The decline in the post-Moon period is not even counted; a 5 is more than justified... damn how much I love them... If I were asked what the quintessential rock band prototype is, I would never mention the various Beatles, nor the Rolling Stones, not even my beloved Led Zeppelin: true rock is them! more
