The Official Needles and Grooves 1001 Album Generator Project

[TenderLovingKiller®]

not much really beats the run from Their Satanic Majestic Request

While I think that SMR is a very solid and often overlooked album I would still prefer both Aftermath and Between The Buttons to SMR. They seem much more comfortable making Blues Rock than Psychedelic Rock. SMR is much better than I think it’s given credit for but it’s never hit as hard as those two (at least for me) and they all pale when compared to their run from Beggars to Exile.

Spiritualized - Giving a second listen now. Man, It makes me want coffee.

Spiritualized - Giving a second listen now. Man, It makes me want coffee.

For some context Spacemen 3 did release and album entitled Taking Drugs to Make Music to Take Drugs To. I am not saying you have to be on something to enjoy J Spaceman’s music but it certainly helps open one’s mind a bit to what being presented. Coffee probably isn’t gonna cut it; maybe ayahuasca tea instead.

I took “makes me sleepy” as an euphemism for boring. I just wanted to offer up a remedy that might help alleviate that issue.

I don't think it's boring... it would be great for sleepy time though. It's slow and atmospheric and I'm an old man.

Spiritualized is also one of the loudest live performances I have ever attended.

Though Pierce did stay seated for the entire performance so maybe you’re on the right track regarding the relaxed nature of it all.

My favorite albums are Ladies and Gentlemen and Let It Come Down because the sound is big and loud and feels like it's just bursting through your speakers.

They cut the new vinyl reissues crazy hot though. Especially for Let It All Come Down. It’s just sooooo LOUD!

Yup, up there with Mogwai and pre-Soft Bulletin Flaming Lips for being loud and chest-rattling live

As I mentioned, not the best Spiritualized but still a great album. 4/5

Also, I think "I Want You" is a lost Lightning Seeds song.

Rolling Stones ~ Aftermath

I gave it a 2 out of 5. 2 great singles, the rest seems like basic blues/rock to me that waffles between songs focusing on picking up on or dumping a girl in the harshest way possible.

Spiritualized ~ Lazer Guided Melodies

I dig it, good background music for working. Will definitely listen again. 4/5.

Mmmmm.. Let it Come Down LOUD!

This is another one that would have been a 5 for me years ago, but not anymore. Still a very strong 4 though. Was fun to revisit and it still very much kicks!

Reads allmusic review for Spiritualized album.... OOOOOOOh, it's dream pop. Yeah, very little Dream Pop feels like anything but the soundtrack to driving to dream town. I do like this band better than Hawaiian Dirge Band.

In case you ever wondered if it was just Rock and Pop music that I have wide gaping nonsensical knowledge holes about, well I'm also a bad country/americana/folk guy too as I don't think I have ever listened to an album by Griffith before. (*does a quick discogs search to make sure he doesn't embarrassingly own any...*)

This is one of my favorite albums but the live version of “Love at the Five and Dime” is the definitive because it has her impeccable singer songwriter timing and story.

 

[TrainFan73]

5 songs in and I have to say I am really enjoying this.
