Its been a minute, but American Pie and Vincent are all time classics
Classic, Big Iron alone puts it as an instant classic, El Paso and Cool Water are equally strong
Marvin‘s vocals are beyond compare, but times I think this album feels a little bit overproduced with a little too much orchestration.
Grew up on this album, launched the band as well as the myth. The End is still haunting
Quite the change
The challenge with The Wall is that, individually, there are definitely some misses. But en’total, this is about as close to a perfect album as it gets. Alongside Led Zeppelin’s Physical Graffiti, it sits right at the top of the double album list. “Goodbye Blue Sky” and “Mother” hit especially hard in today’s world—chilling, really. “Run Like Hell” and “Comfortably Numb” are iconic, whether you’re listening in context or just catching them on their own. And yeah, “Another Brick in the Wall Part 2” has been played to death, but it earned that status. It still holds up.
The Mrs Robinson cover was all I remembered from this.
A mid tier album with an incredible song.
I don’t know Mark Knopfler can be over praised. His unique guitar style paired with a voice that floats through the songs, giving feel that pairs perfectly with the fingerpicked stings. Sultans of Swing may be the calling card of this album, but Water of Love should also be in your rotation.
The best Michael Jackson album in my opinion, yes, I enjoy more than Thriller. It has my favorite Michael Jackson fart song, don’t stop to get enough. Rock with you is also just a wonderful song
I’ve been thinking this was randomized, to get this the Monday after the final show is pretty coincidental timing
Kick it! Changed my perspective about rock and rap. I don’t know that someone today would be effected the same way I was in the day, but this was a bridge to me for so much music.
With Ozzys death, yesterday, I was listening to this album in the morning. Of the run of thier self titled debut, Parinoid and Master of Reality, Black Sabbath cemented themselves as the standard others would build upon for the next 55 years. With the lens of the accolades following Ozzys death, it is easy to overlook Tony, Geezer and Bill, and they are all phenomenal. Sabbath is a band to be revisited and closely listen to!
