He was one of the critical darlings of his era. Christgau and Stephen Thomas Erlewine just rave over his first couple albums

 

Interesting! I'll have to check those out.

 

I'll let you know how Labour of Lust is in...six days.

 

Haha, I will stay tuned.

 

probably a top 25 album for me ever

 

Listening to Against Me! - White Crosses today.

 

I've got The Wrens - The Meadowlands on deck today. Excited!

 

My favorite Against Me! album.

 

the take is stinky, the albums smell like flowers

 

almost finished up with today’s, j cole’s 2014 forest hills drive

 

Biggie's Ready to Die for me today

 

I remember thinking this was fine when I heard it at the time but no idea how well it holds up

 

Sade’s Promise is up for me.

it’s one of the few I haven’t heard from her discography.

 

Both in for a treat

 

JayZ The Blueprint for me in another classic hip hop album I’ve missed over the years

 

I'll be starting out my morning with Steve Earle's Copperhead Road.

 

Delivering day two a little late because of my work schedule yesterday!

Day three today is Laura Jane Grace’s “Stay Alive.”

 

Landon I’m honestly jealous bc I wish I could listen to White Crosses for the first time again.

 

I'm clearly starting out MWE with a lot of bluegrass/folksy/roots-inspired records, haha. I saw Steve Earle a few years ago at Red Wing Roots and his set was pretty dang fun.

It's interesting to hear more of a heavier rock sound from Steve on this record, and I'd say it's a fairly enjoyable listen. It's also an extremely 80s-esque album and for some reason that's making me laugh this morning.

 

listening to the clipping. album for the first time

holy shit. it’s like it was crafted in a lab of my interests
