Mighty Fine Albums

WHAT MAKES AN ALBUM SO SPECIAL?
Vinyl, CD, or digital download, an album provides a true insight on an artist's creativity and hard work. Instead of listening to a 3 minute song on the radio, you are forced to bask in several songs from the same artist, track after track after track. Do these songs fit together? Does it bore you for a bit then finally pick up? Are you let down with the new musical direction? Or are you frantically skipping to the song you heard on the radio?

If you're lucky, you'll stumble upon a couple of mighty fine albums yourself. The albums listed below have not only heightened my respect for the artists themselves, but are solid gold from start to finish.

Take a break from our search-download-play state of mind, and just listen.
