Frank Zappa - ' (midwest.social)
submitted 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) by Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social to c/vinyl@lemmy.world

I know this album is strictly commercial, but I won't let my lead filled snowshoe get in the way of a handsome parish lady, even if her man is a Marine. But the night before, behind the door, a leprechaun had stroked it. Unfortunately the price of meat has just gone up and my 'ole lady has just gone down. You wouldn't think I have too many since I never cared for sports, but I'm never really lonely in my excentrifugal forz. I'll just take a drive to Beverly Hills just before dawn. And knock the little jockeys off the rich people's lawns. Well then Fido got up off the floor and he rolled over and he looked me straight in the eye and you know what he said? "It should be easy to see the crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe. He said "it doesn't, and you can't, I won't, and it don't, it hasn't, it isn't, it even ain't, and it shouldn't, it couldn't", he told me "no, no, no."

I told him, "YES, YES, YES!"

Santana - Abraxas (midwest.social)

Vinyl is such an awesome medium for preservation. My pressing of this essential classic is from 1970, 55 years and it still sounds awesome.

As an off side and as a millennial it's interesting to me that this album came out before barcodes were a thing.

BAND-MAID's most Western oriented hard rock album akin to Metallica's Black Album but with more pop sensibilities and a modern drummer.

Most folks will have a problem with the language barrier, but I strongly recommend you look past that and hone in on the music because it's great. It's no revolution in rock, but each member is extremely talented and the music has been carefully crafted to showcase their individual skills. Particular attention should be paid to the rhythm section, they love to spotlight their bassist and she always has a creative and fresh drum groove behind her.

My favorites from this album are "Play", "DICE", "CLANG", "Daydreaming", and "FATE."

Rosalia - Lux (lemmy.world)

Just showed up in the mail yesterday. Excellent Spanish pop with an operatic influence. Bjork guests on the album also and Bjork rules.

I won't lie, not my favorite Gojira album by a large margin. Gojira's move to Roadrunner was noticeable. Still, this album has plenty of bangers. Surprisingly, "Born in Winter" is my favorite and it's the least Gojira song on the album.

Rush - Hemispheres (midwest.social)
submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) by Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social to c/vinyl@lemmy.world

My second favorite Rush album behind 2112. I'm ashamed to admit this cover took me the length of the album to make, lol. The only copy of this album I could find didn't come with a sleeve.

Fun fact: Some really cool fans made a font pack. You can find them here.

Tool - Lateralus (midwest.social)

Yes, I'm well aware this is bootleg and shit audio quality. I still love this pressing, with all its pops. This album is top 5 prog rock of all time.

Covet - Effloresce (midwest.social)

As a huge prog fan, Yvette Young has always been an amazing person to watch. IMO this incarnation of Covet was the best. Yvette and the gang were able to create some killer soundscapes. Genuinely this entire album is fantastic and worth plenty of listens.

Who can deny Mark Knopfler? This album is seriously one of the best debut albums of all time. "Down to the Waterline", Water of Love", and "Six Blade Knife" are enough; but then you have "Sultans of Swing" to destroy you.

I know I'm late for Halloween, but this album is worth so much more than "Frankenstein". That's a fantastic song, but there's so much more. "Free Ride" is an eternal classic. "Rock 'n' Roll Boogie Woogie Blues", the beautiful and appropriate "Autumn". "We All Had a Real Good Time" is awesome.

Primus - Suck on This (midwest.social)

Firstly I'd like to say, Primus sucks! Next I'd like to say... 1989! Les and the boys were cooking up sounds and grooves we still drool over today. A fantastic live album and not nearly listened to by enough people.

Yes - Yesterdays (midwest.social)

A compilation album of material from Yes' first 2 albums. The best and most essential song is "Then." The B-side is much stronger than the A-side. "America" is a good tune tho.

A timeless classic and another overrated underrated album. I'm just glad my parents had the excellent taste to introduce me to this masterpiece. Some of the best music of the '70s. It's surely fallen out of the zeitgeist now. If you haven't heard this album it is a must listen.

The best of Aerosmith. Fantastic blues groove lead album from an overrated underrated band IMO. Too many folks shit on Aerosmith and it's well deserved, they are Zeppelin rip-offs, but when they hit, they hit and two of their best ever are here. No one can deny "Walk This Way" or "Sweet Emotion."

And to cap off my night, Symphony X - The Odyssey. This album's title rings true. This album is a progressive neoclassical heavy metal epic and a personal favorite. I truly love every song on this album.

These dudes are true masters of the craft and that's no more apparent than on the titular song "The Odyssey." Symphony X does a fantastic job translating Homer's epic, Odyssey into an exciting progressive metal masterpiece that shows everything this band can offer. The MIDI backing orchestra can sound a bit dated, but I think it adds to the early '00s charm and I'm quite fond of MIDI. The song isn't for the faint of heart though clocking it at 24 minutes.

I love the "blue ghost" splatter vinyl.

Rush - 2112 (midwest.social)

I'm on a progressive kick tonight so might as well listen to one of the GOATs. What can you say about 2112 that hasn't already been said? It's a masterpiece of music.

One particular cool Easter egg of this pressing is this etching of the Red Star of the Federation spinning as you listen to side B. A cool detail.

An all time classic new wave album and an essential listen IMO. My favorites are Shout, Everybody Wants to Rule the World and Broken + Head over Heels. This album just oozes '80s vibes.

Kind of a Russian Circles day. First Memorial and now Gnosis. Conduit is such a great song.
