The Wall -Pink Floyd Album review

Well, it's time to review something I have been putting off for a while. And to that, I apologize, and deeply regret it. Why? Because The Wall is the greatest album ever created. Yea, I know, you may think otherwise, screw you, this album is awesome. It's a concept album, so I'll give you what I thought the story was, from listening to it start to end and from various online articles and videos.
The first half is about Pink's past, his Wall, and the bricks in it. It goes through his overprotective to an abusive level mother, his controlling, cheating ex wife and his somewhat sadistic school teachers. At the end of this side, it switches to side two.
I think this half was about Pink's descent into madness. It goes through his depression, experience with some kind of coma, before he falls through and becomes some kind of nazi style dictator. His concerts have him hanging up hammer banners and sending the audience against all the minorities. Then, he and his black shirted police force walk through the streets and cause riots and fights.
The final songs are song of their own. In case you didn't realize it, "The Wall" is a wall of isolation built by bad memories and insanity. In the second to last song "The Trial" he holds himself on trial where all his bad memories scream at him before his judge forces him to tear down the wall. The final song is a very poetic little verse about being outside the wall. Oh yeah, if you play the last song of the second disc and the first song of the first disc in a row at maximum volume you get the hidden message of "isn't this where we came in?".
What did I think of it?
Absolutely amazing.

Country Joe and the Fish -Electric Music for the Mind and Body album review.

This album is, in short pretty trippy. The music is far out and absolutely psychedelic and the lyrics are barely understandable. The album itself is the kind of album I would take on a road trip. The album is very continuous, as in it doesn't like to switch genres in the middle of it all. It just goes on and on, continuing the main psychedelic theme the whole way through. It's so good at this sense of it just being one long song, that I didn't even notice when it switched songs.

The Grateful Dead -The Grateful Dead Album review

I saw this little treasure at Barnes and Noble a little while back and I neglected to write a review (I neglected this blog for a while). Being a pretty big fan of The Dead I decided to pick it up along with Live/Dead and Anthem of the Sun. This album is their first album, released in 1967 long after they already became famous in the birthplace of hippies, San Francisco. I put it in and the first song was well chosen and a very powerful experience  The inviting lyrics and sound of it make you stop and think "Wow, this song inspired tons of people to become hippies. Just take a listen and you'll know what I mean. After that, the album goes off into a lot of jug band type songs like Sittin' on top of the world. That makes about half the album the rest is mostly just blues, and Viola Lee Blues a 10 minute 20's prison song. Then when it reaches the bonus material that wasn't on the original record I started turning it back up (I don't like blues that much). I don't know what it is but Alice D. Millionaire and Overseas Stomp (The Lindy) are now in my top 100 songs. They just sound so great. And they are both pretty meaningful. Alice D. Millionaire is almost a tale of tragedy. Despite not sounding sad, it's about the arrest of Owsley Stanley, who made pretty much all the acid of the time. The title came from the head line LSD MILLIONAIRE ARRESTED (say Alice D. fast). The other one I mentioned, Overseas Stomp is probably about the Vietnam war. Just listen to the lyrics and you'll know what I mean.
