More than metal, but most decidedly that, Ozzy expanded his range ever so slightly into the areas of prog-rock, performance art, and American rock primed for the arenas of the eighties. The record would lay the foundation for a career that continues in one form or another to this day.
440. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – B.R.M.C.
The band is wholly adept from the start at channeling its stunning array of influences into a massive sound.
441. MGMT – Oracular Spectacular
There’s a strata to this album, a remarkably diverse set of forces, providing a demarcation that allows everything to reveal itself.
442. Architecture in Helsinki – In Case We Die
Music like a big ass snake, slithering right on up that tree. Its flickering tongue leading it towards prey.
443. !!! – Louden Up Now
A hall of funhouse mirrors. Every turn has you guessing what’s real.
444. Blair – Die Young
All I’m capable of doing is pressing repeat.
