The Dark Side Of The Moon
Pink Floyd
What can be said that hasn’t been said a million times before? An album that really benefits from high-quality gear. I listen to this about once a year (since I was in high school), and I make a point of listening when I upgrade sound gear. Amazing early use of analog synths in a natural way with the guitars and voices. After all this time, still love the stirring vocal on Great Gig and the sax on Money.

Selling England By The Pound
Genesis
I got into Genesis in the early 80s after listening to Gabriel’s 1st 4 solo albums, so I always liked the PG vocal sound on SEBTP but never cared much for the lyric content. The treat here is the sound of the drums and the keys. Super active bass parts are a mixed bag but it all deserves to be blasted at high volume. I’m a sucker for epic and (yes) melodramatic guitar solo on FOF.

Lots of great ideas and sounds. Consistently original while still calling back to traditional R&B, prog rock, Stevie Wonder, and more. Breathy vocal style gets tiring after a while. Some editing could easily have made this a 5.

5/5 i really appreciate the packed soundscape. strings come in then vanish. keyboards drive a song then yield to percussion. some really weird production choices baffle me to this day (eg the chorus on kid about it). the excellent songs demonstrate the depth of ec’s writing talent, shown again and again before and after this album.
