DeRank™: 11,19  Capish

My beloved subjects.
Here, we are slacking off!
In short, it’s been a while since we debated about eggs and chickens, since we argued about the sex of angels or split hairs!
So!
Capishonia was born to be a place of debate and in-depth exploration, a schola philosophica where young and free minds exercise in the search for the Abstract Absolute. In short, the Kingdom of Kul-ture!
And instead... the debate is languishing...
Well, it is also my duty as a monarch to show you, my beloved (but a little soft) subjects the way!
So here’s a new challenge: let’s elect the most overrated album of all time!
But, please, you must hit hard! Don’t bring out cult records that, when criticized, nobody cares about.
We are talking about the MOST OVERRATED ALBUM(S) OF ALL TIME! Not trivial stuff.
We need to strike at the gut, showing that in Capishonia, freedom of thought comes before anything else!
Clearly, anyone who touches an album that I am attached to will be taken at night to the royal dungeons...
I’ll start (of course):
PINK FLOYD - UMMAGUMMA
A true robbery perpetrated against poor broccoli fans: a double album (double even on CD) containing a fake live (therefore recycled tracks and not even the product of a concert with all the proper fuss) and a second album made of leftovers and scraps (to be kind) that the four jolly fellows had pulled out from their living room, which only an oversized ego could make one believe had any artistic value.
DIRE STRAITS - BROTHERS IN ARMS
One of the best laxatives on the market! The best of their washed-out and pimply pop, the band led by Mark had already delivered with the first album, with which they had exhausted all their ideas (which they, in fact, recycle identical in all other albums). A 15-minute EP could suffice to account for all there is to listen to in their parish party music (weighted down by an unbearable voice like a hoarse Lou Reed and an even more annoying attitude of "great guitarist"). "Brothers in Arms" is their most celebrated and pretentious album, indeed!
FRANK ZAPPA - HOT RATS
Uncle Frank! Hands off uncle Frank!
Okay, I know I’m going big here, but what can you do? Aside from "Peaches En Regalia," which is a masterpiece with all the bells and whistles, the rest is pure egotism (and a little bit of jerk and scoundrel here and there).
In short, 40 minutes of random solos over repetitive and minimally imaginative backgrounds! Sure, Captain Beefheart’s voice saying "I’m a little pink pappy," sure, certain orchestral openings here and there, sure, that flash once in a while... But this just makes your head spin: "If you want to, you know how to do it! Come on, uncle Frank!" Improvising just for the sake of it doesn’t mean you are a jazz musician.
In short, Zappa enjoyed improvising aimlessly for hours and recording all the nonsense that came to him...

Felt - The Stagnant Pool (Remastered Edition)
My favorites in indie along with The Smiths, Durutti Column, and The Church. There were many bands with the Postcard sound like Josef K/Pale Fountains, Australian indie like Dream Syndicate, and refined pop like Prefab Sprout/Deacon Blue... but these three have always captivated me.

Litfiba - Prima guardia
Well, and after this I say: are we really, really sure that these are the same ones who just six years later wrote "secsi druiiiim mi fa volareeeeee"?

Sad Lovers & Giants - Like Thieves (The Second Line Up, Pt. I)
They sound like the Depeche Mode from Songs of Faith and Devotion, but this is the latest dark post-punk gem along with that high Barria of Sound (since we’re at the end of the 80s).

Dinosaur Jr - Get Me

about tear-jerking ballads and the '90s... a song and video that bring tears.
