January 29, 201511 yr I'm embarrassed I left this off my list back when we were doing out top 5 albums of all time about a year ago.
January 29, 201511 yr Chvrches - The Bones of What You Believe Loving this album. Allison and I are big fans... saw them at Lollapalooza last year. Getting tougher and tougher to find good EDM but these guys know what they're doing, instrumentally, and Lauren Mayberry has a great voice for the genre. Been listening to this obsessively since we got back from San Francisco: The Decemberists - What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World
February 1, 201511 yr Supertramp - Crime of the Century [2014 Deluxe Edition] It's been remastered and Ken Scott, the original engineer, has overseen the process. It sounds damn good, as good as one of those "audiophile" vinyl releases I got years ago.
February 3, 201511 yr Then: Diana Krall - Wallflower. Kind of meh, seems sellout-ish..... Now: Waterboys - Modern Blues. Not bad, but will anything reach the level of Fisherman's Blues?
February 3, 201511 yr Now: Waterboys - Modern Blues. Not bad, but will anything reach the level of Fisherman's Blues? Huge fan of the Waterboys since late 80's ... my personal fav has always been This is the Sea ... such a timeless bit of recording ... but Fisherman's is a close second. Haven't heard Modern Blues but will be checking it ...
February 4, 201511 yr ^^ This Is The Sea is a fairly close second in my book, like them both a lot..... Now: some fun Greek Synthpop....2 by Marsheaux, the second being a complete cover of the Depeche Mode album of the same name....
February 4, 201511 yr Then: Diana Krall - Wallflower. Kind of meh, seems sellout-ish.....Same here. Agreed, seems her most mailed in.

Haven't heard Modern Blues but will be checking it ... Post Fisherman's Blues, I just go and listen to World Party. As a four album stretch though, I think The Waterboys, A Pagan Place, This Is The Sea and Fisherman's Blues stand up there with just about anything. After that it's just flashes and glimmers of the old magic. I like "Beautiful Now" off Modern Blues.
