Yeah Soap Opera is rough. I was talking about this one.

im gonna marinate of Soap Opera for a while first. I could tell there was some good melodies in there but the lyrics seem a little heavy handed for Ray. the "might as well kill yourself if youre white/blue-collar or lower class" joke wore thin pretty quick.

u fw the australian og version? one of my favorite ac dc albums and actually my first ever album from them

Yeah there’s some good stuff on there for sure, it’s just a hokey concept and can get grating at times. I remember liking Everybody’s A Star and Underneath the Neon Sign.

this is legit a Top 15 candidate of the year for me.

I grudgingly queued up that album but ill put a little more respect on it for you

also still wondering if you knew/liked that long ass classical piece I posted at you lol

album is good imo but that first song blew me away.

didn't listen yet. Gonna tell what i think of it.

Jungleland is the one

I’m have gonna have to give it another try. The guitar work on it was great and I loved the general mood, but I felt it was ultimately like a tease. It’s so much build up with little relief. Maybe I’ll get used to that on repeat listens.

according to Wikipedia, yes. However, that's one of the songs on his list I'm not really feeling. Same thing with Heart Of Darkness being this high. Next year's Final Solution is imo their best pre-Modern Dance single.

listening to Gavin Bryars atm @Elric
apparently it's from 1971.
gives me The Master vibes. liking it so far

also kinda Godspeed found sound stuff minus the the rock and roll elements

my 1001 Songs You Need To Hear book had the wrong date?

HOD sounded hard when it came on in the whip the other day

guess it's release date (1975) and not composition date (1971). just doublechecked it. it's a beautiful piece. love the melancholy

When it comes to Classical music I usually look after composition date.

hmmmm.. I'll give it another spin even though I've listened to it a couple times already

Peter Hammil's album this year was pretty great on first listen. didn't like Godbluff that much by comparison. I'll give it another spin tho.

@Elric yeah this album is insane. crazy psychedelic ayahuasca journey. saw some comparisons saying it was like Brazilian equivalent of Comus and in some ways its similar vibe. ritualistic earthy ancient spirits vibe

Jeff Beck with this beauty

I revisited Born to Run, and while it’s good of course, it’s far from my favorite Springsteen album. I like pretty much all of his 80’s catalog, Darkness, and The Wild, The Innocent more.

Idris Muhammad

This is so good @Elric

Yeah I have that album queued up, will listen soon. Did you hear his song Stories from last year? Probably the best new song I discovered

I just listened to it. Really nice. I wish it was longer.

Yeah I like what I’ve heard from it.

Sometimes the brevity amplifies the impact of a song. Same thing with Frankie Carrol by Thin Lizzy last year or when Kinks do something like Two Sisters. Floors you in 2 minutes flat.
