De...Marga...
With Depeche Mode, barring a few rare exceptions, you can be sure: you already know, even before listening to their newly released album, what kind of sounds to expect. A completely pleasant feeling of "familiar newness": a trait that has allowed the band to remain at the top for decades. An album that I find very close in sound to the sacred triad of the nineties; for me, the latest work of Martin, Andy, and Dave that deserves the highest scores...SUFFER WELL... more

With the previous "Sweetheart of the Rodeo" by the Byrds, this album represents the cornerstone of country-rock, an excellent work by Parsons/Hillman... more

Gene Clark — White Light | DeRank™: 3,30

While his old friend/colleague David Crosby was coming out with his gem "If I Could...", another great former Byrds member pulled this true masterpiece of folk/country rock from the hat, an intimate album with great compositional depth. All wonderful tracks, from "The Virgin" to "Because of You," featuring a "Spanish Guitar" that would make Dylan envious and a perfect cover of the same Bob, "Tears of Rage," here in its (perhaps) best version... more

Stunning album. Along with the self-titled track and "High, Low and in Between," it definitely represents the peak of his compositional prowess, at least in the studio. Great songs, tinged with that typical melancholy of the Texas artist, above all "Tower Song," immense... more

"You may say that I ain't free, but it don't worry me"... 5 for the soundtrack, 25 for the film. One of my favorites, rarely have I seen something so perfect and unique. From the songs of Ronee Blakley in her golden year to those of actors who throw themselves into songwriting with good/excellent results (Karen Black and, of course, Keith Carradine) to the performances of Henry Gibson and Timothy Brown (who sings "Bluebird," also by Blakley). more

Ronee Blakley | DeRank™: 0,00

Well, I know her self-titled debut from 1972 and it's a nice album, with beautiful songs and a lovely voice. I wonder why, though, when I think of her I imagine her singing "My Idaho Home" to Freddy Krueger, who replies "it Don't Worry Me." Jokes aside, the 5 is for "Nashville" and for the tour with Bob Dylan in '75-'76, definitely her golden two years. more

In this album, classic rock and hard rock take the lead, somewhat setting aside the progressive dynamism. But there’s plenty to listen to. Highly recommended! more

Virgin Steele | DeRank™: 0,60

More coherent and qualitative than Manowar (and they don't resemble them that much). Epic, prog, symphonic, heavy, and power metal inspirations, balanced with incredible class and refinement; something that only a genius like De Feis could have achieved. more

Among the best singer-songwriters to come out of a talent show. A great voice that she manages with a lot of humility. "Vivo sospesa" is a beautiful song! more

It intrigues me and leaves me perplexed at the same time: his way of doing things has always given me the impression of being pompously constructed, as if he wanted to emphasize at all costs his being an artist. more

This is the end, my only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes

Slow and distressing, it may have inspired many works from the most diverse artistic movements. When the protagonist moves through the dark city, don't you think of survival horror for the PSI (Silent Hill above all?) There is also pure art in describing the situations and the scenarios; and then that ending, which seems like the prelude to a happy ending, but suddenly transforms into a gruesome epilogue... more
