I absolutely love these guys.. They have a ton of stuff I enjoy, from Led Zeppelin to space-rock, from poignant melodies to electronic music. The rhythm is kick-ass and the lyrics work well.. There you go, they’re a band that really delivers.. And that’s no small feat. I feel sorry for the talented Benjamin Curtis, he knew what he was doing... more

WHY?!? Ps. half a little ball just for 'A Thousand Days Before', which sounds like an outtake from "Down on the Upside", if the final master had been more 'human' and less glossy and polished, maybe it wouldn't have looked out of place on that record...instead, damn, what lousy sounds...so sterile that not even Madonna. Why, for fuck's sake? Fine.. more

The best example of musical quality due to meticulous and deliberate composition. His perfectionism also made him innovative: the "Corale" is a striking example. But apart from the symphonies, the most beautiful moments of his works are actually hidden in his simpler pieces, such as the sonatas for piano and violin, or for string trio and piano. more

Bathory — Hammerheart | DeRank™: 0,35

Awkward, raw, poetic, dramatic. A concept about the Christianization of peoples seen from the perspective of the Vikings. An excellent blend of black and epic. Pure emotions. "One Road to Asa Bay" is the band's manifesto: a tortured and angry homage to the end of an era... more

What peace... I don’t want to go back anymore... I need this peace... leave me here... in the space... here... watching the world that belongs to me... the world that will soon be a part of me again...
Here I am, back, and already I start to feel restless. I want to immediately return to breathing peace... peace... I need this peace... more

Pink Floyd — The Endless River | DeRank™: 3,39

Pleasant album, it blends ambient with calm atmospheres while showing clear references to past albums. Excellent as background music, so it gets more than a passing grade. Of course, it wasn't necessary, but I have a lot of affection for them. 3.5. more

Alice In Chains — Unplugged | DeRank™: 7,00

I’m not interested in writing where it was recorded; it’s not necessary to mention the date of its conception; what is fundamental for me about this sonic marvel is the beginning of the album, after the applause from the audience: Jerry starts an acoustic arpeggio of simple craftsmanship and beauty. Then another burst of applause, this time even more intense, and right after that Layne begins to sing... I stop, closing my eyes to meditate, filled with chills and tears... DEVASTATING... more

A beautiful and well-played album, but it's not exciting to me and I find it leans too much towards pop. In any case, Non è Francesca is better than Battisti. Sufficient. more

Anathema — A Fine Day To Exit | DeRank™: 0,00

First album of the new millennium for the Liverpool band; one of the works I appreciate most from a remarkable career. Never before have the sounds expanded so much, with that veil of melancholy always present in tracks where Danny's guitar dominates; in some passages, it’s incredibly easy to compare them to the more "Gilmourian" Pink Floyd, as in the opening pair "Pressure" and especially "Release": and it’s the ending of the latter that ignites with the long guitar solo... UNIQUE... more

Bathory — Blood on ice | DeRank™: 0,00

An ancient pagan legend of revenge, rooted in the pillars of Norse faith. The eye of Odin, the virtue of Sleipnir, the invisible flight of Huginn and Muninn. The harrowing and cold epic of a retaliation born from the fire cast by the hand of man. A fire that burns the homeland, a fire that devours men and animals, a fire that spreads the acrid scent of blood on the ice... more
