Day 21 – “Give Me Back My Name”
There's a word for it. And words don't mean a thing. There's name for it. And names make all the difference in the world. Some things can never be spoken. Some things cannot be pronounced.
Play an album with a cover that doesn’t include the band name nor the album title.

This one probably needs a trigger warning, since so many people got a defective copy. I suppose I am "lucky" to get a clean copy on the second attempt.

What's the matter with him? (He's alright.) I'll see his face (the Lord won't mind.) How do you know? (He's alright.)

Day 18 - “Swamp”
Now let me tell you a story. The Devil has a plan.
Play an album with an overarching story.

The Coral "Coral Island" (2021 Modern Sky Records)
For this challenge, I'm returning to one of my top 2021 records. Coral Island is a double LP with classic sounding psych-pop, infectious songwriting and an overarching theme. LP1, called "Welcome To Coral Island", is about carefree summers at seaside resort towns while LP2, called "The Ghost Of Coral Island" is about the melancholy those resort towns during the off season. In honor of @jamieanderson1968, I'm also spinning the bonus 7" which has an overarching story of its own, focusing on a disaster that occurred at an attraction.
