Led Zeppelin
An album that seems a greatest hits from any other band… Not to mention other Led Zeppelin’s albums that could also be a hits collection on their own. They have some many great songs they choose to went with numbers for albums for 4 in a row. It’s not a surprise that a lot of people thought that they had something going on with the man in Red. But what they do not know is that the man in Res loves Led!

I love when the album’s name has an intimate relationship with the album’s mood-much like Pantera’s Vulgar Display of Power. The dirty sound of the guitar has influenced a lot of the bands I like to listen, but there are also interesting experiments such as the vocals in Penetration and the end of Death Trip.

How not to love an album that starts with an Oh Yeah! And then proceeds to show the bleeding sound of that guitar weeping of joy all along the album…

The fine humor in the lyrics is appreciated as well. And the title… (that’s what she said!!)

Lovely sounds. Keeps you hooked and at the same time you can continue doing other things. It’s like an 80’s spy movie, where the crime is solved but the detective’s life doesn’t. Victim is gone, murderer uncovered, but heart is lonely and broken. Moving forward is just a way of not thinking. Unsettling yet intriguing.

Dust
Screaming Trees
Dust is a great ride, really enjoyable, although the feelings the singer expresses are not really happy, but melancholic, bittersweet, anxious and anguished, in a tainted poetry that cherishes the song above the personal pain. Every song brings you to the next one in a nice journey, as if you were driving a car full of dust with an open window for you arm to rest there.
Embarking a mystical journey in the middle of the night with a halo of ashes in the horizon as inevitable as the moon, the album starts nicely with a really catchy yet psychedelic song. The following morning you realize that all that you knew could have been yours, but you keep on stepping on the gas with the wind in the hair and the past in the rearview mirror. Another day passes and the night falls again looking at her instead of the road, as a specter in your mind.
The sunset comes in a postcard view in Dying Days, one after another in the same car, to accelerate in Make my Mind, with a climax in the solo... And that false ending!
The night settles in Sworn and Broken, passing the finger through the dusted car to draw a child with open arms and weird smile. But the next day comes as a bullet and starts shouting out loud with a guitar riff you cannot witness without awe, fear and vertigo as you look in the mirror and you try not to look too long.
You need to stop after that ride. Halfway there. It's a broken morning outside. You need a break, as you're trying' to meet the dawn.
After all, it's the longest way you've traveled / From the darkness to the light / Lord it's been a million miles / In these prisons you can't abide.
All along you've been the traveler, forever outta time, forever just unwinds. You focus on the dew, as you want to make it through.
You feel like rays of shattered light are there to bleed my eyes, as the spark has burned away until the blind has settled inside. You've been in roads they have never seen, been or dreamed, and you need someone to take you higher...
But the next day you waking up without her again and the sky burns into your soul. All you need to know is that she's yours.
But you feel alone. And your dreams are torn.
The car's gone. She's gone.
All is left is dust.

An ambitious album that challenged everyone who was expecting a "Yes, Master" to the magnificent "OK Computer". Abandoning guitar-driven anthems and experimenting with electronic sounds, loops and instruments, they made an unique mark in the history of music.
Sometimes I feel it was what U2 tried to do with Pop, but done right. It was not an adaptation of Radiohead songs to fit an electronic mood, these were Radiohead songs, and they were electronic.
I have came across Kid 17, an fan experiment who recorded Kid A on top of Kid A with a difference of 17 seconds:
Kid 17 = Kid A (0:17) + Kid A.
The result, beyond psychedelic.

My favorite album. Every listen is a gift. The layers, subtleties and complexity of the composition perfectly show the distress caused by the aspirational life it's imposed to us. If punk was a protest against the system from outside of it because of lack of basic needs and expression... This album alone is a protest against the system from the inside because of comfort overdose. Brilliant from the first car sounding riff in Airbag to the final bell in The Tourist.
Every song is an impossible standard for any other 90's band, and it's mind-blowing how my brain keeps discovering things with every listen.
