Albums you cant get enough of? - Page 2

I do tend to listen to whole albums - probably because I'm too lazy to make playlists

I normally prefer "Best of..." type albums as I'm more likely to enjoy more of the tracks. One notable exception is "Fresh fruit for rotting vegetables" by the Dead Kennedys. I listen to this on a regular basis and never skip any tracks because they are all good.

Enjoy Eternal Bliss, by Yndi Halda. Since I got it I've listened to it at least five times a week at work. It's awesome. I find it really easy at work to listen to odd tracks all day, keep changing my mind about what I want to listen to, but it's very rare that I put it on and don't take it off again after a little while, I nearly always listen right through.

Snow Patrol, Muses new one and Keane. I really need to take them out of my car but there's nothing I want to replace them with.

I've just got two new albums
ok go - ok go
oh no - ok go
They are the band that someone posted the running machine video for on here. Love them, both albums rock.

Both Kings of Leon albums
The Fray - How to save a life
Cicada - Cicada

Easily the four albums I can just play right through!!!!!!

Everything else is in playlists.

I have a few favourite albums in my collection that I repeatedly listen to, know through and through chord changes and every note, part etc. etc.

I listen to whole albums 99% of the time, its very rare for me to listen to a compilation. I just don't get on with them, but that is also in part defined by my taste in albums. I've got virtually no 'pop' albums at all, mainly because I like the album to go places, mean something. I'm not a fan of the 3:00 song so glamourised by the pop industry.

That said of all my albums the most played and most memorised ones are:

John Mayer - Room For Squares

Delirious? - Glo

The latter is a superb example of the kind of album I like. Okay, so its a worship album, christian stuff, but there is hardly a track on there that doesn't run into the next track in some way, done in blocks of 3 or 4 tracks at a time. The whole album is a kinda journey, starting off with a quiet choral underpinning before launching into a strong lead guitar part and building up as the song goes on; the album finishes with what they call "Glo In The Dark (Pt 4)", one of several jammed out tracks on the album that includes some superb orchestration including strings, bagpipes, and the works. The Producer really deserves some form of award for the work he's done on the album as its quirky choice of extra instruments to go over the top of the bands standard bass, guitar, keys, and drum just somehow works and has been sensitively mixed.

For me the difinitive album will pretty much always be...

Queen - A Night at the Opera.

I always have to listen to it from the first note to the last.
