BDFD: Low – The Great Destroyer
I decided to start out with one of my favorite albums of all time to get the ball rolling. What a masterpiece album. Before you write me off as a huge Low fanboy (which, I give you, I am) I should tell you why I prize this album so much. One of the things I value most in music is emotion. That seems to be an obvious statement, but I judge the worth of a song or album greatly on how much emotion is I can perceive from an album. And not all music conveys emotion effectively. As much as it fun to listen to and dance to, Katy Perry's E.T. evokes no emotion for me. I also realize that music like hard rock and metal very effectively communicates emotions like anger, fear, pain, and other things, but not only am I not inclined towards to the music, but their not emotions in which I care to indulge.
Briday Friday!
In an effort to inspire me to write more to my blog, I'm commencing Briday Friday. Every Friday, I'm going to highlight an album that I've really enjoyed thoroughly. It may be new; it may be old; it may indie; it may be the Spice Girls (okay, probably not.) It's just going to be something I feel that it merits being highlighted. It'll come out every Friday at 12:00 AM MST starting this Friday with an amazing album. It'll destroy you, greatly (hint, hint.)
