Picking up the brilliant idea from... myself, here's a little taste of the (many) ranking columns that will see the light in 2021. Starting today, we will explore the albums of the great Vinicio Capossela, from the worst (or the least beautiful) to his masterpiece. Let's jump right in:

10. All'una e trentacinque circa (1990)
Unfortunately, his debut sits at the bottom of the ranking. First of all, let me clarify something: All'una e trentacinque circa is a very good album, featuring intriguing piano bar tones and containing a handful of classics (Scivola vai via, Stanco e perduto, the title track), but also experiments/divertissements like Pongo sbronzo that come across as almost tragicomic. So why does it deserve the last position? Simply because good Vinicio is still finding his footing; some tracks are still quite raw and anonymous (Christmas song and Suite delle quattro ruote). A very good debut, but the best was yet to come. Exacting rating? Sure, why not.
Exacting rating: 7+
