Hüsker Dü — Metal Circus | DeRank™: 3,00

An EP of just 7 tracks for 19 minutes of great Music. A record that marks the beginning of a journey for the trio: going beyond the uncompromising hardcore of their early days. Released in 1983 by the SST label, it opens with a pair of songs, written by Bob, of undeniable "physical" impact: "Real World" and "Deadly Skies". But it’s Grant’s two tracks that kick off the journey leading them to chart new musical coordinates: "It's Not Funny Anymore" and the poignant "Diane"...SACRE SCRITTURE... more

their METAL is very okay. these are the ones I like, not the cavernous screaming maniacs. their song ROCK AND ROLL is a masterpiece. 5 just for that. It kicks more ass than Lemmy with his abscess does than a thousand scary painted assholes. more

Not your usual Dream Theater clone band! Thrash metal-inspired riffs, delicate yet dark moments, choral choruses with a clear AOR influence, electronic effects sprinkled here and there, sporadic guitar and keyboard solos, and few lengthy instrumental sections... A mix of fairly original elements, they have their own style! One small flaw, forgivable: they've hardly shifted their sound even slightly. more

Unfortunately, I've seen very few of his historical films (aside from L'allenatore nel pallone, 1 and also 2), I'll make up for it... Essentially, I know him mostly as Nonno Libero... It's certainly not his most comedic role, but just hearing him when he gets angry with the Marti and the lines he comes up with is enough to understand that he’s quite a character! more

Anyone familiar with me knows that I don't particularly appreciate this band. But for some strange reason, I quite like this hefty brick, and not a little. Even though I haven't put it on in eons. This is 'Nursery Cryme'. Chapeau Peter. more

Perhaps the 5 most obvious balls I've ever thrown. The initial quartet places them forever in the pantheon, but then they also made another couple of good records and a great live album. Among the best of all time, forever. more

John Martyn — London Conversation | DeRank™: 5,33

A splendid debut for one of the greatest singer-songwriters ever, English or otherwise. An album almost entirely featuring acoustic guitar and voice, composed at just 19 years old and already so beautiful. What a wonderful voice he has, and what a songwriter, Martyn. 4, because it becomes a bit monotonous over time and because he would go on to create even greater albums, but I really like this one a lot. Destined for great things. more
Premiata Forneria Marconi -Per un amico
SydBarrett96
Inferior to the debut, but it boasts two absolute gems from the PFM repertoire: "Appena un Po'" and "Geranio." Beautiful are also the march-like tunes of "Generale" and the title track. 5 tight balls, maybe a 4.5 rounded up for excess. Nevertheless, a great album. more

It's impossible to give less than five stars to a band that, citing the title of one of their albums, asked for forgiveness from mom for not taking out the trash!!! And then they were from Minneapolis; and then they covered a song by Kiss...Let It Be... more
Hüsker Dü -Warehouse: Songs and Stories
De...Marga...
January 1987; two and a half years after "Zen Arcade," it’s still a double album that marks, tears and all, the conclusion of the band's career. "Warehouse: Songs and Stories" is its title. Almost seventy minutes, twenty songs: Vince Bob 11 to 9 against Grant...and that is the drop that will lead to the final break. But the album doesn't suffer from it, with a heart-stopping opener, that prophetic "This Important Years" right from the title. "She Floated Away," "Could You Be The One?"...I should name them ALL...THANK YOU!!!!... more

The bleak debut of Arab Strap amidst low-low-fi guitars, folk impressions, subdued voices. A disjointed album, just like real life can be. more
Hüsker Dü -Land Speed Record
De...Marga...
Legend has it that Reflex Music, due to budget constraints, forced the Minneapolis trio to release their debut album recorded live. We are in 1982, and the music of Bob, Grant, and Greg is unwavering, pitch-black Hardcore, played at a derailing speed. Twenty-six furious, piercing, frantic minutes that only slow down in the concluding "Data Control." Recorded, terribly but it hardly matters, in their city on August 15, 1981...THE GENESIS... more
The Comsat Angels -Waiting for a Miracle
Lao Tze
Between the synthetic Sheffield of the Human League and the industrial one of the Cabaret Voltaire, they emerged at the dawn of the '80s. Dark, nervous, and depressed post-punk. Gritty guitars, '60s organs in an alienated context. Very close to the Sound's 'Jeopardy', but at times you get the feeling of listening to the Feelies in slow motion. more

Grantzberg Vernon (Grant) Hart: here’s who lies behind the strange name of this band that was active for just over a five-year span in the nineties. Only two albums were released by the former drummer and singer of that sound monument known as Husker Du. A sound that draws from the last more "Pop Oriented" period of Husker, presenting us with an artist in search of tranquility, a new life, after the dark years and the breakup with Bob Mould...Please Don't Ask... more
