Just my Curiosity!
One thing that I've seen said a lot (and REALLY agree with) is that Save Rock and Roll is an amazing album. Emphasis on ALBUM!
Save Rock and Roll is one of those albums that fits so well. I'm a big stickler for an album to be not a collection of songs, but to flow and work in the order the songs come in. Sure, after a while I put all the songs on my itunes on shuffle and rarely two play by the same artist back to back, but when it comes to first having an album, I listen to it from track 1 to the last track in order without skipping a good 20 times because albums are MEANT to be listened to like that.
In a good album, even the songs you don't love fit perfectly in the space they're in. They still work with the flow of song to song. It works with the mood shifts and the transformation through songs. And Save Rock and Roll really does that.
SO my question to YOU all is:
If you had to pick an album (or a few if you just CANT pick one), from any time in history, that you think is the best album, what would your choice be?
Anybody that really knows me knows mine! Artwork by The Used. It is my gold standard for albums. It was MINDBLOWING! From the opening 30 foot plunge feet first into chaos that is Blood On My Hands all the way through each and every song until the POSITIVELY EARGASMIC 'epic' song that is Men Are All The Same (If you don't know it, it's one of those songs that just feels SO intense and extreme it makes you feel like it should be the climactic moment in some insane action film where the hero is beating the fuck out of EVERYBODY. It's just indescribably good), every single song in that album transitions absolutely flawlessly and is positioned in the lineup as precisely as the circuits in a motherboard. With the exception of TRUE pop music, every album I listen to is basically judged on a scale of 'one to Artwork'.
SO what is your 'best album(s)'? Tell me! Either reblog with your answer or drop me a message! I'm seriously interested in hearing your responses.
