Manilla Road — Mystification | DeRank™: 0,75

Technical and monolithic, this album showcases the powerful clash between Shelton's guitar and Foxe's drums, the stars of an epic of endless solos and virtuosic displays. Furious rhythms and heavy tempos blend into a single ecstatic sonic product, predominantly based on Poe's writings. Breath is only found in the title track and the concluding "Dragon Star," a dreamy night-time poem centered on the figure of Alexander the Great. more

Roberto Vecchioni — Milady | DeRank™: 0,00

Those who know Vecchioni from the 70s, that is, his songwriting suspended between folk and rock, will have a nice surprise: a pop with a soft atmosphere, over which the (always magnificent) lyrics of this work unfold, which in addition to the famous "Alessandro e il mare" and the title track, offers a triptych of intense romanticism with "Certezze," "Parlami d'amore Mariù," and "Leonard Cohen." It's a pity only for the last two pieces, lacking the same inspiration. more
FRANCESCO GUCCINI -Folk beat n.1
SydBarrett96
Raw and bare, voice still shrill and acoustic guitar as the sole accompaniment. However, there are already memorable tracks. 3.5-4. more

Jimi Hendrix — Electric Ladyland | DeRank™: 8,52

Masterpiece, listened to 40 some years later, hasn’t aged at all.
Hendrix leaps from genre to genre while still giving it his stamp; Voodoo Child (not the slight return) is a blues masterpiece. more

DeGarmo is gone, the QR's are over. After that, they were something else. Operation Mindcrime is their masterpiece. My vote is only for the DeGarmo era. more

Making countless albums by copying a song by Joe Cocker.
Now that Joe Cocker is dead, why not copy him in this as well?

P.S.: it's as relevant to the blues as cabbage is to a snack. more

Francesco Guccini -Stanze Di Vita Quotidiana
SydBarrett96
An album that is a hefty stone of difficult digestibility, with deep, existential, and bordering-on-paranoid lyrics. But it is precisely for its eloquence, for its excessive verbosity, for the abyss of pessimism that defines it, that I love it. It remains a peculiar chapter in Guccini's discography: this is a record of only words, and as such, the sparse arrangements fit perfectly. more

It's not that masking pop as "smart stuff" is necessarily a bad thing. And they haven't just done that. Between the early days, which for me are really too silly, and the latest albums, which often get lost along the way, there are three top-notch records. more

Massimo Priviero -Dolce Resistenza
Dragonstar
A great album suspended between rock and intimacy, interpreted by the gritty voice of a great singer-songwriter. The title track, raw and melancholic, is an experience to try at least once in a lifetime. The only flaw: the tracklist is a bit static from a musical standpoint. more
FRANCESCO GUCCINI -L'isola non trovata
SydBarrett96
Lunar, hallucinatory, almost psychedelic. His voice has never been so biting when discussing death, ghosts, existence, and the fleeting nature of time. A landmark album in the history of Italian songwriting, and it was only '70. more

Kiss — Creatures Of The Night | DeRank™: 0,00

The heaviest album ever produced by the band. The first album without Ace Frehley on guitar, replaced by Vinnie Vincent, who made no one miss the "SpaceMan"... Famous hits include "War Machine," "I Love It Loud," "I Still Love You," and the title track... more
