This album reminds me of nothing so much as long roadtrips in my childhood, riding in my parents car as we made the 3 hour trip to my grandparents’ house in 4.5 hours (my dad was a… shall we say… cautious driver). It was always Fleetwood Mac, Jackson Browne, and Meat Loaf. (Does Meat Loaf show up on this list? I don’t know how I’d handle that to he honest.)

Luckily, this is one case where I have shaken of my old notions and learned to see the beauty in the songs. Because how could you not? The breadth of songwriting and talent in this band was amazing, and this album is a masterpiece.

Jams:

“Second Hand News”
“Dreams”
“Don’t Stop”
