Marillion — Sugar Mice | DeRank™: 0,00

A typical "Saloon Song" like those sung by Sinatra (who is indeed referenced by the "teetotaler" Fish). And what can I say about the beauty of the arpeggio and the incredibly precise "Gilmour-esque" solo by Rothery? more
Roxy Music -For Your Pleasure
Marco Salzano
A masterpiece that hasn't lost an ounce of its modernity. During that time, Roxy in England and Can in Germany, with their hypno-funk, were playing, ten years earlier, what would become the new trend only ten years later (at least). Incredible! more
The Flaming Lips -The Soft Bulletin
Marco Salzano
album that marked the turning point (Dream) Pop of the flaming lips. Many turned up their noses, especially after the experimental Zaireeka, but I have no issues if pop is well-crafted and has a soul. And then with Feeling Yourself, the group led by Wayne Coyne has really nailed a ballad (about death) that gradually reaches extremely high emotional levels. more
Fleetwood Mac -Man of the World
Marco Salzano
The single that replicated the success of "Albatross" is a simple and heartfelt ballad (in the best blues tradition), with just a bit of rhythm in the very short bridge. And then the sweet tone of Peter Green's Les Paul can evoke any emotion with a simple phrase. Add an extraordinarily expressive and soulful voice, and what do you get? Wonderful music. more
Camel -Stationary Traveller
Marco Salzano
They're not exactly the best Camel. However, considering what Genesis and Yes were releasing at the same time, the Camel still "held their own" even with an album that's a bit lackluster like this one. That said, the title track is one of the best pieces, and Latimer's solo has its reasons. more

The Cars — Move Like This | DeRank™: 0,00

A more than positive addition to the group's catalog, unfortunately here without the bassist and singer Ben Orr. Some truly convincing tracks, but the entire album is pleasantly listenable. A must-have for the band's fans. 3/5 more

Surely, it's one of the groups with the most conflicting opinions in the music world.. Not suitable for casual listening. Behind that wall of technique, there is something good and a lot of it. It's just that you can't expect to perceive it in 20 minutes. Nor even in 2 hours. more

Really interesting these talented young guys from Brixton... Influences and references of all kinds (Fall-B.Party...) converging into an original style with a skilled frontman leading the way. The new work, Songs for our mothers, is really good. Amidst so much banality and trash, a breath of fresh air could be considered a miracle... more
The Darkness -Last of Our Kind
Aquarius27
For me, their best album! "Barbarian" with that stone-breaking riff... "Open Fire" is a track to blast in the car and hit the gas pedal... And then there's the title track, "Mudslide," and the others... I repeat, their most successful album! (4.5) more

Neil Young — On the Beach | DeRank™: 8,41

Music of a higher level. The B-side of the album, consisting of On the Beach, Motion Pictures, and Ambulance Blues, represents the most beautiful trilogy of songs from the '70s and is perhaps the compositional peak of Neil Young. Although it was created during the darkest and most difficult years of his life, along with the lesser-known Time Fades Away and Tonight's the Night, the record reflects the most fragile and evocative side of his music. The surreal cover perfectly captures the contemplative atmosphere of the album and is among the most beautiful of all time. more
The Darkness -Permission To Land
Aquarius27
Very entertaining album from the first to the last track. Personally, I didn't find any filler throughout (of course, everyone has their own opinion)... However, a 5 seemed excessive to me. A 4 and that’s it! more

To all the idiots who insulted him, die! He's a fucking genius.. He can make someone laugh just by moving a leg.. But people don't get it.. I wonder why the world is going to hell. more

What can I say? It struck me at a young age. Unique, perfect, and eternal, today just like in 1973. more

It’s bothersome to know that his worst song was promoted at Sanscemo, and this costs him a few points. But he remains one of the most interesting rap artists of recent years, even if there are better ones out there. more

I was riding on the E-train
I was whistling to the rhythm
I was thinking about my live-in
I was feeling pretty fine
I asked the time
Got a poke in the eye

I like it. more
David Bickerstaff -Goya: visioni di carne e sangue
Dan Erre
The subject of the documentary, which stems from the exhibition held at the National Gallery, is beyond the human, as it deals with Goya's art, but the execution, filled with unnecessary inserts and lengthy discussions about secondary aspects of a career instead marked by sublime achievements, could have been better; noteworthy is the philosophy of art expressed by some of the experts consulted. more

A. Inarritu — Biutiful | DeRank™: 0,00

A bitter micro-epic in the Barcelona we do not know, made up of migrants, outcasts, innocents, and petty criminals. Bardem at his best. Inarritu, already among the greats of cinema, sketches the descent into physical death of a man who is just a step away from resurrection. more

A small and recent (2015, Silver Bear in Berlin) Romanian gem in black and white, the photo-radiography of a forgotten world, that of the Romani slaves in mid-19th century Wallachia. Raw, painful, epic. Essential. more

U2 | DeRank™: 0,00

Champions of epic-melodic pop-rock, initially driven by the Unforgettable Fire, later veered towards less original sounds and became almost infallible in gradually choosing the most insipid tracks among those written to launch the albums following '93. more
