Franco Battiato — il vuoto | DeRank™: 0,46

Beautiful, but he has made better ones. The symphonic arrangements weave their way through the usual samples, and finally at some point, you can also hear the acoustic guitar. Pleasant, with memorable tracks like the title track, but there are also a few songs that fall flat. more

Ghemon | DeRank™: 0,00

A rapper with a distinctive style, closer to a singer-songwriter than to the stereotype of the classic MTV or underground rapper. "And then, suddenly, go crazy" is a gem, "Orchids" a breath of fresh air in an Italian scene filled with tired imitations. Great! more

Sabaton — Primo Victoria | DeRank™: 0,00

Stalinism (or rather anti-Nazism) set to music. Nine anthems to the Soviet Union scored with a combative and pompous heavy metal. Forty-one minutes in which the incessant smell of gunpowder rises among the plains dotted with mutilated and spectral cities, behind which the echoes of bombs resonate, while smoky and crimson craters stain the horizon. more

When I first listened to it (in 2006), I thought: "What is this?". The post-84 Manowar may have become ridiculous, but these guys can’t even pull off being cheesy. They're neither epic nor evocative, and their eruptions of power are marked by an unbearable and laughable singer. There's hardly anything redeemable from an instrumental standpoint. Embarrassing. more

A solitary walk in the heart of Saturday night. To all those who walk alone, picking up in the distance jazz and swing harmonies that cross the walls of piano bars to blend into sidewalks, cold air, and smoky clouds of tobacco. more

For goodness' sake: not a group that would make you tear your hair out. But collecting them in a car is always good, indeed, it's essential. Pleasant. more

Sabaton | DeRank™: 2,09

Sabaton is a Swedish power metal band formed in 1999 by singer Joakim Brodèn and bassist Pär Sundstrom. They debuted with the demo *Fist for Fight*, outlining their official and distinctive style with their first official album *Primo Victoria* in 2005, released by the record label Nuclear Blast, which served as a true launching pad for the Swedish band. The definition of their style, based on very heavy guitar lines, persistent drumming regardless of the rhythm's speed, sharp keyboard riffs, and Joakim's hoarse and powerful vocals, was accompanied by the ultimate definition of the principal theme of all subsequent albums: war; with the exception of individual songs dedicated to the metal genre itself. They have currently released 7 albums, 1 compilation titled *Metalizer*, and 2 live albums. more

Deftones | DeRank™: 6,26

There’s something about them that fascinates me. It might be the subtlety of some musical passages, the difficulty of interpreting the lyrics, the voice juxtaposed with the deep guitar and bass. I only know that I loved the first three works (White Pony above all) and the latest was one of the best of 2012. I’m looking forward to their next full-length, which should arrive in early 2016. more

Lana Del Rey — Born To Die | DeRank™: 2,27

"Born to Die" is Born To Die serves as a perfect bridge between the experimental creativity of the "dark" indie-underground corners and the high-quality commerciality of mainstream pop. An album that oozes "Retromania" from every pore, it features references to 1950s movie soundtracks and tributes to film icons like James Dean. There’s a bit of gangster style reminiscent of Nancy Sinatra, but also a constant homage to Madonna and Marianne Faithfull. In short, a nice cocktail of elements capable of capturing both the general audience and the more "alternative" crowd. Yet, beyond all the smoke and mirrors of gossip that surrounds it, this album is a collection of respectable songs: sketches of retro orchestral pop, with sprinkles of electronics and hip hop here and there. Add a touch of Portishead’s trip-hop and you’ve got it all. more
