Albums

I know I’m not the first, nor will I be the last, to lament that the age of digital music has obliterated the art that was The Album. While a great album has songs that can certainly stand on their own, the full experience is not appreciated until the song is taken in context of the entire album. For example, Pink Floyd’s The Wall should never ever be listened to in parts. One must listen to the entire album to fully get it.

I’ve been on a mission as of late to remind myself of this fact by listening to albums in their entirety instead of listening to just my “favorite” songs as one in wont to do with an iPod. I bring your attention to three albums that I love but had forgotten just how good they are when listened to from alpha to omega.

Mountain Music by Alabama.

The Joshua Tree by U2.

Metallica by Metallica.
