Was tagged by @psygull to post some albums I’ve been listening to lately :D it was fun to sit and think about what I’ve actually listened to start to finish recently instead of just random songs on repeat lol
“Does This Look Infected” Sum 41- Just good early 2000s punk music to get riled up to lol. Love this album art, I’ve used that same obnoxious green and orange as colors on my blog before. Everything about this album is just exactly what it should be, ya know?
“Is This Thing Cursed?” Alkaline Trio- Actually the band I’ve been most devoted to since like middle school. I can listen to all of their albums start to finish because there’s only a handful of their songs total that I think are skippable. This is their most recent album, and imo actually a good first album to listen to if you want to get into them, just a really solid blend of the punk sound that got them started in the 90s and the more refined sound their frontman, Matt Skiba, has picked up with age. Skiba is also the current front man for Blink-182 since Tom DeLonge left btw, not that it has anything to do with this album lol.
“The Snow Goose” Camel- Absolutely beautiful instrumental concept album about Paul Gallico’s novel of the same name. At some point in the 70s, the band was forced to change the name of this album to “Music Inspired by The Snow Goose”, because the author was apparently furious that these dirty hippies would dare make music about his book, but in 2013 was changed back to just “The Snow Goose”. My favorite thing about this is the fact that I haven’t met a single person who’s actually read Snow Goose that didn’t learn about it first from the Camel album lol. Anyway, completely enchanting album, very subtle and emotional music, great music to listen to in bed. I am actually listening to it at this very moment.
“The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and The Knights of The Round Table” Rick Wakeman- Rick Wakeman (keyboardist from Yes) has a ton of solo stuff, but this one is easily the best imo. Anyone who knows me irl can contest that I never shut up about this album. I cannot recommend this shit enough, it's so good. Yes-quality synth and electric guitar aside, this album also features narration and an entire choir doing backup. It’s basically like Camelot in Space, and what more can you ask for? I think everyone should listen to this album at least once lol.
“Dark Night of The Soul” Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse- An album that my dear friend Leny recommended to me that I love now. I was not actually previously familiar with almost any of the like 15+ artists who collaborated on this, aside from Iggy Pop and David Lynch, which I was told “oh, of course those are the only two you know”, so I guess that says something about me lol. Anyway, really solid album with a totally unique sound to each song from all the different artists while still having a really strong unifying mood.
“The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway” Genesis- I only really got into Genesis recently and this was the first album of thier’s I’d heard, but it’s still easily my favorite. I feel a little evil recommending this one to people who aren’t that into progressive rock because it’s like well over an hour of 20+ songs but, god every single one of them is so so good.
“Good For The Soul” Oingo Boingo- Only recently actually listened to this one and their self title all the way through. Vibes as hell, I mean, like it’s Oingo Boingo, what can I say lol. Just good kooky, new wave to have fun to.
“Synchronicity” The Police- I know I haven’t shut up about Sting on this website in like a year, for some reason lol, but ... he’s good, you guys, I swear lol. I mean this is one of The Police’s more popular albums next to Zenyatta Mondatta, so I don’t know what I can really say about it that isn’t obvious. So much more refined than some of their earlier stuff where they were just doing a lot of shouting like the The Clash wannabes that they were lol. “Synchronicity II” and “Wrapped Around Your Finger” are up there among some of the better examples (across his entire discography) of Sting’s genius as a narrative lyricist imo.
Camel self-titled- Another Camel album because I’ve been listening to them a lot lately. A lot jazzier and more psychedelic than Snow Goose (more fitting of the descriptor “dirty hippy music” lmao), but equally as good. Where Snow Goose is great chance to hear the talent of Camel’s flautist, this one is great to hear their singer’s smooth, deep (dare I say, sexy) voice. Not on either of these albums, but I also feel like I should mention that Camel has a song about Gandalf ( “Nimrodel/White Rider”) which is just great to listen to on its own, because, naturally, it slaps.
I’m going to tag: @ribbon-girl @maxophone @graballa @bubble-tsunami @brimstone-cowboy @cispr-cas9 @magicalmrmephistopheles @mister-outer-space @nitewrighter and the girl reading this :)
#I feel like ive just tagged more people than I ever have on anything lol. posessed to know what music people listen to#rick wakeman also has an interesting concept album about the wives of Henry VIII. not something I listen to as often but I would recommend#if you like King Arthur and want something else to listen to amongst his work#tag game#hannah is talking#not gonna tag any of these artists#um. I never thought about how distinct David Lynch's voice is until I heard him singing in that album like 'lmfao yeah that's#David alright' that weird nasally shouty voice he has lol#I would have put the camel albums next to each other but I needed this post to look good visually and obviously the upturned neck of the#camel on the self title means that he should be in the lower right corner so as to point towards the center of the image as the downturned#neck of the snow goose means he should be in the top right (side-eye emoji. nail polish emoji. paint palette emoji) im an artist lol
