A bit of a cheat because this is for yesterday, all marked out of 10:

.38 Special - Strength In Numbers: 7.5

The Men The Couldn't Hang - Devil In The Wind: 7

The Men They Couldn't Hang - The Defiant: 8

The Zac Brown Band - You Get What You Give: 8

RPR - Longview: 9

Big House - S/T 7 (This album is fairly new to me so the rating might change over time)

Jack Sundred - By My Own Hand 8

 

Nothing like waking up with Bob... Truly; there is nothing like starting the day with Bob; not in this universe. It's an act that's guaranteed to color the day; however...

7.5 out of 10? Oh Mercy!

 

You people listened to all of this in one day?

 

Led Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy - 9/10

 

Yeah. Gotta love Sundays!

 

I wish I enjoyed music this much!

 

Paul McCartney, Egypt Station. 7/10. Little to dislike on first listen.

 

On weekends, my cartridge is GLOWING!

 

We're all enthusiasts on this forum!

I'm not a big fan of telly so unlike many of my friends, my instinct when I finish work is to stick on some music rather than fire up the box which means I usually get through a few albums a day (listening to Fairport Convention, as I'm typing this!).

It's not for everyone but it keeps me sane.

 

Is that a euphemism?

 

I'm jealous. I can barely get through a single album if I'm not also doing something else.

 

I've wondered about this right as I typed it

 

John Lennon - Imagine The Ultimate Collection - Disc 1 : 4/5

 

Yup

Oft times when I get started I just can't stop til I get my complete fix 4-6 hours later

Been doing it since the 1960s

 

How do you listen? While doing other things or completely eyes closed listening or?

 

CBS Masterworks Baroque favorited featured in Kramer vs Kramer 8/10
Maurice Andre Music for Trupmet and Organ RCA Red Seal 2lp 9/10
The Festive Pipes/ Krainis Recorder Consort Kapp mono LP 9/10
Jean-Luc-Ponty meets Giorgio Bendori 9/10

 

A combination of the two.

If it's an album I know well, I can get on with other tasks and let it all wash over me. I work a lot at home & if I'm doing tedious paperwork, I'd go bonkers if I didn't listen to something.

However, If I'm listening to an album I'm not familiar with, I like to give it my full attention.

 

On the way to work...
Empty Sky by Elton John: 5/10
A very flawed debut, but Elton agrees. Some dreadful arrangements, but a couple of gems in Skyline Pigeon, Sails and Lady Samantha.

Late last night...
Croz by David Crosby: 8/10
Crosby has been on a roll since 2014. I can't wait for his new record at the end of the month.

 

Waiting For the Sun - The Doors - 9/10

 

It wouldn’t be worth it to rate them. I’ve only play albums I’d rate as 7 or above, and have been slowly getting rid of the 6 and belows over the past few years.
