What album did you just listen to from start to finish - Part IV

[cobl04]

Dark Side of the Moon.

Us and Them > Any Colour You Like > Brain Damage > Eclipse is absolutely flawless. I can't think of any other album with a stretch that long without losing a point here or there. Fucking phenomenal and the album blows my mind every time. I know I'm in the minority thinking it's their best album. Great Gig has to be one of the most underrated tracks ever.

 

[mikal]

i'm listening to the new Yo La Tengo album. pretty good so far!

 

[bono_212]

That is shocking. I've put the 2 minute version of the track on my Space Moon list, so it'll be there, if you're checking those out.

My latest listens:
Fruit Bats - The Ruminant Band
Frightened Rabbit - The Midnight Organ Fight

Mayyyybe. OR, Or, I could just check and see if Napster has it .

ETA: They do not .

 

[dsmith2904]

No Doubt -- Tragic Kingdom

I guess you'll just have to hop on over to Space Moon then.

I really don't think you are in the minority on thinking that. Maybe amongst the people on this site. But DSOTM is widely regarded as one of the all-time great classic rock albums.

Didn't realize that this was out there! Will have to listen. I really hated Fuckbook, so I hope that this is a return to form. Is it mellow Yo La Tengo, crazy Yo La Tengo, or eclectic Yo La Tengo?

Yeah, I was always under the impression that was what most considered their best. I've always felt like I was in the minority for liking The Wall more!

Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen

yeah, that's what i meant. animals and wish you were here sure as hell give it a run for it's money though.

I don't know if I'd say "very mellow," after a few spins. I mean, this is no Summer Sun or The Sounds of the Sounds of Science, you know? Still, it is good. I haven't yet managed to process it, in full, but I do like it. Only time will tell if it's one of the Yo La Tengo albums I REALLY like (I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One, Fakebook, And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out) or one of the Yo La Tengo albums that I like but NEVER have any desire to listen to (I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass, Electr-O-Pura). We'll see. Thanks for the heads up. Some really great songs, on this! So much better than Fuckbook!

 

[If you shout...]

P.S. "Avalon or Someone Very Similar" is better than bliss. Just perfect YLT. Man. I gotta catch these guys, on that upcoming tour!

That's my opinion too about The Wall. It's a double album with 26 tracks, but not that many songs. Which is a pity, as it sounds amazing (as in sound quality).

Just finished:
Madonna - Like A Prayer

certainly does it's just crap like the trial, and a few other tracks which add to the story but provide absolutely nothing to the ear (goodbye cruel world, stop...)

^ Fantastic sig!!
