'Primary Colours' by The Horrors is, up to this moment, my last definitive rock classic record. After this one, no money was used to buy rock albums for my vinyl collection. This is an absolute work of art.
This was my absolute favorite album of 2011. It's an emotionally powerful record about the human condition – encompassing themes of loss, war, longing, hope, and the strength and will to keep walking when the road is not great. Musically, it's flawless, and you can hear her voice at its best shape.
