Parklife

I had only really heard Song 2 by blur before so o was expecting something like that. What I got was really Brit-pop, Beatles-esque music. I enjoyed it. It’s crazy this came out right around when Nirvana was just getting big. This is completely different from that and from what everyone else was doing.

I do see the historical significance of this in the post rock world.

Another band that I have heard of, but have never listened to. Honestly didn't actively listen to this, but I did listen in the background.

I had never heard of this band or this album before. I'm amazed that it came out in 1977. It still stands up today! There were definitely standouts like 3 Girls Rhumba and Ex Lion Tamer. Some of it even reminded me of Fugazi during casual listens. I'm definitely going to give this one some more plays.

That's The Way Of The World
Earth, Wind & Fire
I think this album was a little bit unique. There were some songs that were really funky, and then others that were really soulful/ R&B. I didn't feel a real sense of flow to the record. After a funky song I found myself skipping the slower songs so that I could get to another upbeat one. Every song was great, but I was just missing the flow.
