Day 3 - Nice package!
Murder by Death - In Bocca Al Lupo
This is actually my second copy of this album. The first I bought in 2009 at a show where they opened for the Gaslight Anthem, who I don't care for, and I got to talk to them a bunch after their set so they signed that one. (The actual record here is from that version.)
I bought this copy last summer. This album is a set of loosely connected stories based on the various circles of hell. It's one of my favourite records of all time. The original CD lyric booklet folded out super long with the roots of the tree on the cover spreading deep down into the earth on one side, and awesome illustrations of the band members on the other. For this version, the actual jacket folds out to about eight feet with that art on both sides. As you'd guess it's kind of a pain to unroll every time, so I keep my other version separate and usually play that one.

This is not only an album I listened to in high school, this is the album I listened to in high school. Purchased new in 1975 at Ames Departrment Store. Not bad shape for being dragged around almost 45 years.
Lordy, she could tell some tales if she could talk. And times were just fine...
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

Coheed and Cambria - The Second Stage Turbine Blade
Definitely one of my three most played albums in high school, and one of the few that I still listen to. Probably one of my most played ever. I was truly obsessed with this and their next two records for a long time.

Day 5 - Good Times
Cage the Elephant - Cage the Elephant
Before this album the only music I'd listen to was greatest hits albums of classic rock artist. I was a firm believer that music nowadays was all terrible and their was no use listening to any of it. But then in 2010 I played borderlands and the opening theme of that song was the sickest thing I've ever heard. I immediately pirated the whole album and then that was the only thing I listened to for months. After cage I started branching out and seeing whatever great music I was missing out on. Without this album I wouldn't be the insane music fan I am today

Day 5: Meh Times
Drake - Take Care
I listened to a lot of Drake in high school, especially this album which was released two months into my first year (bought the
the day it came out).

. This Kevin Gray/Pallas version could qualify for audiophile day as well.

steve miller band - greatest hits 1974-78
despite being a high schooler in the early- to mid-90s, my crew listened to a lot of classic rock, and this album was a staple of our house parties and camping trips. the dazed and confused soundtrack was another.

Play an album you listened to in high school.
Justin Timberlake - Futuresex/Lovesounds
It sounded pretty bangin' back then, and it is quite fascinating to realize that a lot of the elements in the songs here (trap, in particular) were ahead of their time for pop and R&B music.

Day 4 ~ Audiophile
Ryo Fukui ~ Scenery
One of those albums where it seems like Ryo Fukui, Satoshi Denpo and Yoshinori Fukui are in my living room playing a personal show for me. After a long day of work this is the kind of album I like to throw on while sipping whisky and let the night pass me by. After working nonstop the past three days in preparation of today's Innovation Days presentation, this was very much needed.

Day 5 - Good times...(or maybe not) - (they were meh to not great times)
This album was released the summer right before my freshman year - 1991.
While I had heard some Metallica, I never owned any prior to the album. They didn't get much radio play before this album in the area of Illinois we were living in at the time (West Central/Quincy). Guns 'n Roses was much more popular. Country music was the most popular....and I couldn't get into it.
It may have been Enter Sandman that caught my hear, but I knew I had to have the CD - and the next time we "went to town", I bought the long box CD for myself. Soon the rest of Metallica's catalog followed. And all the long box art was cut out and stuck to by bedroom wall, along with this poster - all being purchased at the only music store we had - a Musicland in the mall.
