Alan Gowen | DeRank™: 4,54

"A good friend, I played a lot with him; it was very sad when he died. His problem was being too modest. He could have become much more famous, but he had many doubts about his way of playing: he would sit at home writing and playing all the time, and he made truly good music, technically he was an excellent musician. But he couldn’t sell himself, he wasn’t like Vangelis or someone like that." (Hugh Hopper) more

Slash | DeRank™: 3,23

Artist targeted in an impressive way... I don’t understand a thing about music, but for me, Mr. Saul Hudson is a great guitarist... It's pointless to mention Appetite, but in the two "Use" albums, he showcases remarkable things... I’m not very familiar with his solo career, but I will definitely make sure to get his CDs, especially since when you have a vocalist like Myles, listening is a must! more

Obituary — Cause of death | DeRank™: 0,81

I start with the cover: one of the most terrifying in terms of depicted images, immediately making you understand the heinous content of Obituary's second album. And the album title is yet another warning signal; a Death Metal characterized by those guitar sounds so low, grim, and dark that they "disturb" the listening experience. The presence of James Murphy, a luxurious guest in this work on guitar, only makes the sound even denser and heavier...DYING... more

Bark Psychosis | DeRank™: 3,06

Essential for understanding what Post-Rock is; Ambient, Avant-Garde, hints of New Wave and Dark. Songs that never really want to end; lengthy, immersive narratives, with the sound of instruments fading away as minutes pass; pauses and meditative silences...HEX... more

I can't find the right words to fully describe this album... 6 spectacular tracks and two masterpieces... "Simple Man" and "Free Bird"... the first one with those immense lyrics, and the second, well, the second has to be experienced... words are not enough!!!! more

Manowar — Hail To England | DeRank™: 0,00

When they were truly themselves: the refrain of the title track is one of the most evocative things you can hear, Army of the Immortals, to be sung with a sword raised to the sky. Blood of my Enemies is an ancestral and dreamlike steel poem. And finally, Bridge of Death, one of the band's most beautiful songs, not to mention the most fascinating descent into hell that epic metal has ever known.
To posterity. more

Brocas Helm | DeRank™: 0,75

Hidden in some arcane cave of California, they gave birth to two immortal masterpieces of the most heroic and genuine metal, namely Black Death and the debut In to Battle. Unique in the world! more

Gamma Ray | DeRank™: 0,00

There are two types of power: the one blended with classic heavy (Running Wild, Grave Digger) and the more proper speed (Blind Guardian, the creators Helloween, etc...). So, considering the second branch, they are certainly the greatest ever existed! more

Vladimir Luxuria | DeRank™: 0,00

Beyond his hypocritical kindness and ignorance, Mr. Guadagno, like all transgender individuals, has an insurmountable limit: he does not understand that although he has distorted his body, he was born a man, he is a man, and he will die a man. From certain perspectives, such a situation is even dramatic for those experiencing it; not for him, who rides the wave and makes a great living off the pathetic persona he has created. And the funny thing is that he paid for his hormonal treatment with "our" money!! XD more

Black Sabbath — Black Sabbath | DeRank™: 12,60

Recorded in two days with a budget of 600 pounds; released on Friday the 13th (!!) of February 1970. We're now approaching 45 years; a record that has lost none of its sepulchral and malevolent atmosphere, with Ozzy's deep and Mephistophelean voice and Tony’s marble-like and sinister riffs. The cold, dark, dramatic cover leads us towards that tolling of funeral bells, before the pitch-black wall of sound takes over everything; an opening that for me is still unattainable... N.I.B.... more

High Tide — High Tide | DeRank™: 6,95

Second album by the English band, undoubtedly a second masterpiece. Three long, wonderful tracks, light-years ahead for the time. I don't understand why this band didn't achieve greater success... more

Miles Davis — Bitches Brew | DeRank™: 3,36

I'm not familiar with jazz; I know little to nothing about this musical genre, and I admit my ignorance on the subject. I recently acquired this record, but after a few attentive listens, I found it fascinating, perhaps even more than Kind of Blue. I don't know if I'm right or not; it's just a gut feeling... more

Tony Iommi | DeRank™: 3,96

A bell in the distance, a heavy rain, a thunderclap; a stab to the chest after 38 seconds when the mournful sound of his guitar opens the doors to Lucifer. Thus begins the first album by Black Sabbath with the titular song...DEATH IS JUST THE BEGINNING... more

Black Flag — In My Head | DeRank™: 0,00

I wanted it. Or rather, I wanted a Black Flag record. It's dirty and violent, but with interesting jazz-rock hints in Ginn's guitar. I liked it a lot, all in all. more
