Today's is Adele's "21." Can't say I've ever listened to an entire Adele album, so this will be pretty new for me.

So far the overplayed hits feel totally different in context of an album.

Dammit, that was a really good album.

I've only listened to 30, which people love to shit on for clogging up the pressing plants, and it's absolutely fantastic so it doesn't surprise me this one would be good too.

It’s a good album, it wasn’t fuck up pressings for the next year good.

I agree but that's on the label, not her.

I mean I never shit on her…

I remember talking to my local, and they told me that the last Taylor Swift album held up shipments of everything until the night before or morning of release. Not quite clogging up the pressing plants level, but still... that's some power.

I'd consider it if she asked, but that's really not my thing.

Alright, LFG. Sunday Morning is one of my favorite opening tracks.

Today's album is one I've progressively come to love the older I've gotten. I wish I could have seen her live in the 80s.

You are in for a treat. A bennies fueled ding-song suckin’ treat!

 

[CrazyDiamond84]

Interesting....haven't listened to this one since high school. I will say one of the best concerts I've been to was in these days driving to Madison with a friend to see Slipknot/System of a Down/Rammstein.

Day 8

Wasn't particularly giddy or excited about drawing this one.



No great revelation here - it's exactly the same-y aggro blues rock one would expect from an AC/DC album. This is probably the first time I've listened to a whole album of AC/DC since high school. It's not terrible. I don't need to turn it off or leave the room when it comes on or anything - it just ain't my cup of pickle juice. I'm not even invested enough to speak to any difference between Bon Scott era AC/DC and Brian Johnson era. I will say, the original Australian cover was cooler than this one.

 

[Nee Lewman]

Lol. Cup of pickle juice. Lol.

5/1001
AIR - Moon Safari

​

Undoubtedly, my favorite aspect of the album is the atmosphere it invokes. For a record with scant lyrics in a standard sense, Moon Safari is quite romantic. Cuts like "Remember," "You Make It Easy," "All I Need," and "Le Voyage de Penelope" all have a strangely intimate sound to them. However, this resonance may be what defines this album and it rockets Moon Safari from great to amazing.
Something else that I appreciate about the album is their willingness to occasionally be abrasive in their sound. The song "Sexy Boy" is arguably the best example of this, but "Le Voyage de Penelope" is another that harnesses this characteristic. Parts of these songs are instrumentally heavy and distorted, while other moments sound serene and even beautiful.
One of the best electronic-adjacent records of the 90s. While I don't think it's perfect, as "New Star in the Sky" overstays its welcome a bit too long for my tastes, it's damn close.
I also own this one on vinyl. Five random selections in and it has been a strong lineup overall, as I hoped.

Personal highlights: "La femme d'argent," "You Make it Easy," "Ce matin là"
Rating: 4.5/5 [Outstanding]

I lied. Halfway through the gift I realized I had listened to this before. I listened to the album three times in September of 2020. Odd
