The Smarks Album Draft Info and discussion thread

Album Listen #29: A really good feel record - very road trip comfortable feel to it. I can imagine this album goes down very well in the US - as it feels the sort of thing the cool kids listen to in the barn yard or the bunkhouse. I always enjoy this record.​

I’d never listened to Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety before strictly cuz the bad taste I had for Pink Floyd from my past. I was shocked at how much I enjoyed it…I guess I’m past my Pink Floyd hate..thanks Jeff

Album Listen #30: A fan of Lou Reed - but somehow missed this album. I really enjoyed some of these songs and Nico was 50/50 for me - at times great, at other questionable. I almost feel like I might have to listen to this album again in future. A lot of industrial sounds that threw me off though. ​

Album Listen #31: Heard a few sons from System in the past, but never an album. This one started very angry - I don't think it was kayfabe either. They have a really heavy sound though - something I think some of my Scan friends would mostly likely love to the head bang to all day and night long. Chop Suey and Toxicity are always fun - but the standout discovery for me were ATWA and Aerials. I think if you want angry, heavy and screaming - this is the perfect album for you. ​

Almost done...listened to most of the albums I was unfamiliar with as we were going, but also listening to albums I haven't listened to in quite awhile. Basically, if I haven't heard it in a year I put it on. I'll review some stuff here in there.

I'm probably 1/3 of the way done with albums I'd never heard all the way through and then I'm gonna relisten to a few that I didn't rate yet

Like @Chris has the album Loveless by My Bloody Valentine, own it...love it...heard it 100 times, but not in awhile. It's not an album you put on while cleaning your apartment, there's some stuff going on and you need to pay attention, or I do at least...LOL

yeah I get that for sure. some albums on this list I can put on while doing stuff, others need a different kind of attention to get the full proper experience
