Living Colour — Stain | DeRank™: 4,51

Third album and third hit for the band; the sounds become harder, more metallic, but the musical variety and enormous class remain. Led by Corey’s soulful voice and especially Vernon’s guitar, not to mention the powerful funk-hard rhythmic section, the album opens with the aggressive and compact "Go Away"; moving through the brief wild shard of "Auslander," and finally arriving at the stunning hardcore-thrash of "This Little Pig"...

Morphine | DeRank™: 4,87

An original band, led by a great talent (Mark Sandman), who in his sadly very brief career never compromised. The trio formed by "Good" - "Cure for Pain" - "Yes" is probably one of the peaks of rock music in the '90s. more

They have made rock "adult" like fewothers. They deserve more than these 5 measly "dots" from me: "Pawn Hearts" is a monument of rock altogether (with a suite that, on first listen, may seem somewhat disjointed but is astonishing for its modernity and genius) and we must not forget at least another 4/5 superb albums, the theatrical and versatile voice of Hammill, and the virtuosity of Jackson that is never just for the sake of it. Giants! more

Sugar — Copper Blue | DeRank™: 3,58

After two albums under his name, still accompanied by talented musicians, Bob formally returns to the trio "armed" in the vein of Husker Du; David Barbe on bass and Malcolm Travis on drums are his loyal allies. We're in the realm of excellent Power-Pop that explodes, detonating, in the obsessive and relentless "A Good Idea." But it's the sunny and carefree "I Can't Change Your Mind," which harkens back to the college rock of R.E.M. and Lemonheads, that stands out as the absolute gem of the album... A good, great idea Bob!!!... more

The nicest thing the eminent critic Piero Scaruffi has said about Radiohead is the conjunction "and." Beyond that, they are a band I like quite a bit (Ok Computer, Kid A are nice albums), but I don’t place them above many of their contemporaries and don’t acknowledge the reason for their exaltation. more

Meat Puppets — Meat Puppets | DeRank™: 7,62

The first two of the carne puppets are disks that drive me crazy because I love them so much. While in the subsequent "II" they can be found playing a sort of crazily energetic country&western with the grace of the dirtiest punk rockers, here it’s just pure hardcore madness. Recorded, by their own admission, with too much acid in circulation, it’s one of the dirtiest and most sick records of punk. Awkward tracks, a high Beefheart shouting and howling disjointed phrases at the helm of a hardcore combo that... more

John Martyn & Beverley Martyn -Stormbringer
hjhhjij
The album is certainly not bad but quite insubstantial, this first work by Martyn in partnership with his wife Beverley. The 4 tracks written by Beverley really get on my nerves, and the few good moments are obviously delivered by John (especially the title track, but "Woodstock", "John the Baptist" featuring Levon Helm on drums, and "Would You Believe Me" are also enjoyable). J. Martyn will make up for it, and with interest, already the following year, returning to his solo career and reaching his peaks. more

Black Oak Arkansas | DeRank™: 0,00

Formation from Black Oak, Arkansas, born in the '60s in a Beatles/Byrds style, eventually achieving glory (at least domestically) as a fantastic Southern Rock band, with the unmistakable (grating, not very bearable) voice of the charismatic (and crazy) leader Jim "Dandy" Mangrum. Musically excellent, three strong and energetic guitars, great live shows, like at the famous "California Jamming" of '74... more

The singer-songwriter, originally from my Domodossola, has provided important pages in his long career, beautiful songs that have shaped my youth: "La Sedia di Lillà," "Settembre," "La Grande Grotta," "Milano e Vincenzo".... But his most intense episode, emotionally superior, remains "Il Duomo di Notte." Well done Alberto and thank you. more
