When you want to drive out of this lonely town with the top down in your beater, but the Stones would be too British for the grain silos in the rearview and the smokestacks on the horizon.

This guy's got promise

I first heard Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe in a remix and I thought he was saying "please don't kill my vibe." Album has fewer skit/random-chit-chat tracks than average, which is the truest sign of quality. Also Swimming Pools.

Some tracks could make it onto your Drugs playlist. I got the feeling that 2000's groups like The Rapture may have been inspired by these vibes. But not in a way that anything would have been lost without this album.

I was thinking about early AM vs late AM when I realized I was basically doing the American Psycho Huey Lewis bit in my head. Uh, IBYLGOTDF is good. Riot Van, yep.

This is catnip to me. Gloomy piano, some eerie synth, yum yum.

I don't know why this would be the King Crimson album that would make it onto the list. Some of the drums really stood out to me though.

That didn't do it for me.

Most of my credence listening was from a best of CD. A dedicated album doesn't add much to the experience. Jangly good time though.
