The controversial definitions

We are in 1997, but the band is already projecting itself into the future and the new millennium; a future that will later lead them to the surprising and groundbreaking "Kid A" and "Amnesiac." But let's focus on the third album of the English band, which is also not an easy listen, starting from the mysterious cover; a masterpiece, with all twelve songs of remarkable value. My favorite has remained, since the very first listens, "No Surprises," a sweet and fairytale-like ballad that stands out for its simple yet undeniably effective melody...LUCKY. more

Radiohead | DeRank™: 4,20

There are two things I particularly appreciate about Radiohead: being still in the original lineup, this year they celebrate thirty years since their distant inception; and above all, always striving to push forward with their Music, offering albums that are even challenging and disorienting, at least for me, courageous... NO SURPRISES... more

King Crimson — Red | DeRank™: 11,98

I think the last album I will listen to in this 2014 is this nice little record from forty years ago, and I want to enjoy it from start to finish in peace, without anyone around to bother me. Happy New Year to everyone... more

Faith No More — Album of the Year | DeRank™: 3,86

"Album Of The Year" is the title of the band's latest chapter, although new developments seem to be on the horizon for 2015. My judgment on the album is difficult because it inevitably has to compare with the three previous works, which are true masterpieces of total crossover; a much more controlled album in terms of sound, with Mike's voice, except for rare exceptions, calm and smooth. Nevertheless, "Collision" and especially "Naked In Front Of The Computer" deliver hard...HELPLESS.. more

Faith No More | DeRank™: 8,39

I have very little to tell you about the San Francisco band; they were among the main architects of that musical revolution in the eighties that led to the blending of such diverse and opposing genres. The CROSSOVER is born...SURPRISE! YOU'RE ARE DEAD!... more

Iron Maiden — A Matter Of Life And Death | DeRank™: 4,95

A misunderstood masterpiece, an album not for everyone. At first, I hated it, then I ended up loving it.
Brighter Than A Thousand Suns, For The Greater Good Of God, and The Legacy are my favorites.

Il Balletto di Bronzo — YS | DeRank™: 8,64

One of the most beautiful and original records of Italian progressive music, refined and peculiar in its "boldness." A chaotic, noisy, dark orgy of cacophonous keyboards, Moog, Mellotron, and various contraptions, led by that little genius (very young here, by the way) Gianni Leone, explicitly a disciple of Keith Emerson. A great album. more

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion | DeRank™: 3,43

Jon Spencer a bit more human (or rather "less animal"), accompanied by two good crazy companions at least as much as he is... Ps: Marco Orsi have you ever heard of Devo? Listen to them, trust me... more

Lucio Battisti — E già | DeRank™: 6,18

The first vinyl I bought. I was ten years old and until yesterday I thought; what bad luck, one of Lucio's less pretty ones. Then I reconsider and think that maybe for a child it’s perfect; imagining flying on the waves with windsurfing, or writing a name on something that matters. And if I had come across Anima Latina, I would probably have been traumatized. more
