Literally my favorite album of all time, and I’m guessing I’ve listened to it at least 500 times. It’s the only album I can think of that I would not change a single thing about, every song is great, the sequencing is perfect, I’ll never get tired of this record. It also has the best opening song of any record I’ve ever heard. Favorite tracks are “thank you for sending me an angel”, “the big country”, and then all the rest too.
My favorite Lee Morgan album, it was reissued in 2021 and the audio quality is fantastic. Older versions go for hundreds of dollars but this is better sounding and much more affordable.
Maybe the years biggest surprise, my only complaint is that’ it’s not long enough, a 12” 45RPM but the music is freaking great, “Hidden Sense” was the catchiest tune of the year.
Not his best album but I love Neil Young, and what’s subpar for him is better than most other artists best in my mind. Favorite track is “Don’t Forget Love”.
Body/Head’s (Kim Gordon & Bill Nace) debut LP was great, but the addition of Aaron Dilloway takes it to a whole Nother level. If you like music that’s a little bit more experimental, then definitely check it out.
One of my top favorites of the year, they have that jangle pop/ dream pop sound down perfectly, and it’s on slumberland Records - just an awesome label that rarely misses
