2Pac | DeRank™: 0,75

Many have unfairly labeled him as commercial... there are commercial artists like Rihanna and Eminem, but Tupac Shakur is a great artist who accomplished great things. He is on an entirely different level compared to today's hip hop artists. more

Perhaps the most famous album of the Tokyo-based psych band, Japan. Originally released in 2014 on Beyond Beyond is Beyond Records, it has become something of a cult object and has already been reissued three times. A complex devoted to particularly acid-tinged psychedelic sounds while simultaneously vintage, echoing the rock of the seventies. Some tracks like 'Smoke and Mirrors' and 'White Moon' are practically masterpieces of the genre.

Recorded over two days in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with production by Jeff Zeigler, 'The Island' (Trouble In Mind Records) is the result of the second collaboration between Chris Forsyth (Solar Motel Band) and Koen Holtkamp (Mountains). Four instrumental tracks, with a duration of less than half an hour, that emerged spontaneously by blending Forsyth's typically 'desert' orientation with Holtkamp's electronic settings and textures. The result is a mix of sounds that will surely appeal to those who are passionate about genres like kraut and more reflective, almost meditative episodes ('Long Beach Idyll', 'Cosmic Richard'), sounds that convey that visual sensation of an absolutely boundless horizon, like looking at the desert or the cosmic space. more

Chicos de Nazca — Horizonte EP | DeRank™: 0,00

EP released by this fantastic psychedelic rock band from Santiago de Chile on the eve of the release of their LP, 'Fireride' (2011 album, but reissued by Hozac Records last year). Four songs that I would describe as somewhat dazzling for a sound that on this occasion might closely resemble that of Bobby Hecksher's Warlocks. more

Marilyn Manson | DeRank™: 0,00

Master of provocation and scandal. For years he has dominated the charts and the words of Catholic preachers. Great rock anthems, a captivating and diabolical image. The last true sensation of rock, before the inevitable decline!! more

E.L. Katz — Cheap Thrills | DeRank™: 0,00

A pitch-black comedy made in the USA directed by E.L. Katz. Craig (Pat Healy), the protagonist of the story, has lost his job and is drowning in debt: he has received an eviction notice and needs $4,500 to avoid ending up on the streets with his family. One evening, he goes out for drinks with his old friend Vince, and in a bar, they meet a couple of eccentric millionaires, the quirky Colin and the beautiful, taciturn Violet. What starts as a simple drink quickly transforms into a game of continuous bets (complete with cash prizes paid out by Colin) in which this strange and peculiar millionaire invites the two to perform increasingly extreme actions, culminating in a final prize of $250,000. Balancing between horror and satire, with some grotesque elements, the film nevertheless stays within the typical confines of comedy. Very sharp. more

Yeti — Amidst | DeRank™: 0,00

'Amidst' is the latest release from this French band that plays music straddling the line between typically dreampop influences ('Phos', 'Buildings') and others that evoke certain alternative sounds reminiscent of Radiohead, both for the variety of sounds offered ('Farewell') and for a certain sensitivity, along with those vocal styles that make it seem as though ghosts are swirling around you ('The Scene'). Overall, this album could be more interesting than it appears to me, but it didn’t particularly impress me and after the first listen, it began to bore me terribly. more

Bob Dylan — Shadows In the Night | DeRank™: 0,00

Dylan sings Frank Sinatra part one. An admiration from the songwriter of Duluth that, as he himself will say at the time of the album's release, comes from afar. 'When you start doing these songs, Frank's got to be on your mind. Because he is the mountain. That’s the mountain you have to climb, even if you only get part of the way there. And it’s hard to find a song he did not do. People talk about Frank all the time. He had this ability to get inside of the song in a sort of a conversational way. Frank sang to you—not at you. I never wanted to be a singer that sings at somebody. I’ve always wanted to sing to somebody. Certainly nobody worshipped Sinatra in the '60s like they did in the '40s. But he never went away—all those other things that we thought were here to stay, they did go away. But he never did.' more

Bob Dylan — Fallen Angels | DeRank™: 0,00

After 'Shadows In the Night' (2015), Bob Dylan once again sings Frank Sinatra in his new and latest album titled 'Fallen Angels'. The thirty-seventh studio album and an ideal follow-up to the previous record, it features twelve songs written by various authors (Johnny Mercer, Harold Arlen, Sammy Cahn...) and all of these, except for 'Skylark', have previously been interpreted by Sinatra. Clearly, in this case, as usual, much of the criticism (in addition to the fact that it is a cover album) is directed at his voice and interpretive abilities, which over the years have only gained more expressiveness. And then, in these specific cases here, it is well known that he loves to adopt this lovesick tomcat voice. It’s one of the typical vices he has always succumbed to throughout his career. more

Vinicio Capossela | DeRank™: 1,15

The only piece I can appreciate is this one for obvious reasons (I'm not slapping a 1 on all of this) Italia - Marocco da Tre uomini e una gamba di Aldo Giovanni e Giacomo other than that he's always been your classic alternative freak who, however, attracted his kind, a notorious bon vivant and serial pick-up artist of curvy women somewhere between goth and an exaggerated alternative lifestyle. His melodies are slightly tedious, and the fact that he is a symbol of salon artists certainly doesn't increase my love for him.

Afterhours | DeRank™: 0,00

An unsustainably intellectual, snobbish, annoying, pathetic, nauseating, slimy, stinking, greasy band, with a frontman who (it is said) has never washed his hair and carries a genuine stench of fried food and squashed flies, eternally communist, all reasons to make us love them. I give it a 3 because after two excellent albums, they have fallen flat below the scrotum, and this news has kind of killed me X Factor 10: in giuria Agnelli, Alvaro Soler, Fedez e Arisa more
