It’s in the queue. I gave the first few songs a listen getting ready for work. It sounded ... depressing.
Perhaps give it a listen while taking a nice lavender bubble bath and light some new Yankee candles from the fall collection. getting ready for work on a Monday sounds like a tough sell.
Yup. But it's also a victim of the mid-90's CD bloat era of too long albums (Here's looking at Wildflowers, Tom Petty. (r.i.p).) These songs are good but this album clocks in at an hour and seventeen minutes. I've never sat through it all at once, I don't think.
if there is nothing more depressing than getting ready for work on a Monday morning, I don't know what is.
When I hit the parking lot I like to sit and cry silently for a few minutes. Next Monday I’ll que up some Wilco.
Emerson, Lake, & Palmer s/t BMG-Manticore – BMGCAT2CD1 2×CD, Deluxe Edition, 2016 barcode- 4050538179897 Playing disc-two, Steven Wilson's newer 2016 mix, plus a few bonus goodies. His remixes always leave me unsure as to which is the better mix. The same thing with his work on J.Tull's Benefit and Hawkwind's Warrior on the Edge of Time. The mixes are revelatory and yet do not render the originals obsolete to my ears. I guess that is a good thing ? I'm tempted to A/B discs one & two, but I wasn't planning on playing the album more than once this evening. Maybe there is a thread around here someplace that I can pull on to see what unravels !
There's no remix by Wilson I don't find revealing and yet close to the original intention of the artist. I haven't listened to all of them, though, since there are albums he remixes I'm not interested in (like ELP, for instance). For me, "remixed by Steven Wilson" is a guarante of quality, just like "remastered by Vic Anesini".
Tweedy - Warmer Wilco - Ode to Joy Billy Strings - Home and now> Luther Dickinson was a member of the Black Crowes in the 2000s. Mavis Staples and Jason Isbell are guests on the record. Great guitars all over!
You can listen to it in one sitting, but bring a bag lunch. If you listen to Wilco's latest a lot, it's easy to move to this. I can't believe I'm about to do this: "Black Sabbath, Master Of Realty." I mean Reality. Hey, "After Forever" sounds like Soundgarden.
