Ivan Graziani — Ballata per 4 stagioni | DeRank™: 1,95

Well-crafted album, with naive references to jazz and lyrics still tied to certain "singer-songwriter" schemes that will be set aside from the next one onward. Title track and "E sei così bella" are the real gems. 3.5-4. more

Van Der Graaf Generator — Still Life | DeRank™: 14,02

Come on, come on, another masterpiece, let’s not waste time with the usual praise, you all know what kind of album this is! The problem is different: if I tell you that I prefer this to The Least We Can... what do you say in response? more

Blur — Parklife | DeRank™: 7,94

With a bit more patience than the one who threw it in my face after hearing the beat of 'Girls & Boys', it’s an album that already overflows with ideas, musically diverse, with above-average and over-the-top lyrics (ferocious satire akin to the cover), 101% English - and yes, a 'Tracy Jacks' contains a "decent" percentage of Jam... honestly, over the years I’ve heard absurdly negative judgments about this album, but there you go. more

Biglietto per l'inferno | DeRank™: 3,86

Basically, just one record. One single product to show the world that they were the best: time has proven them right... more

Pink Floyd — Dark Side Of The Moon | DeRank™: 3,00

Exactly 42 years ago, this gem of music was released. I prefer "Wish You Were Here," but "The Dark Side of the Moon" is a timeless masterpiece! "The Great Gig In The Sky" gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it!!! more

Rusty Cooley | DeRank™: 0,00

Holy shit how fast he is... I'm a guitarist, and I assure you that this guy is technically monstrous. Musically useless, but monstrous. So I give him 3 stars. more

Slayer | DeRank™: 0,34

They haven't had much to say for quite some time, yet Reign in Blood remains a fundamental album. Moreover, I believe that among the Big 4, they are the best live. more

The 13th Floor Elevators — The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators | DeRank™: 4,66

What is there to say about the first visionary wail of one of my absolute favorite bands? I might slightly prefer the subsequent, colossal "Easter Everywhere," but that’s a matter of minutiae. "You're Gonna Miss Me," "Fire Engine," "Splash 1," "Kingdom of Heaven"... each one cooler than the last. And Roky remains the most badass vocalist in Texas... more
