Every once in a great while a record comes around that just plain blows your mind. One that lands in heavy rotation, building up steam and momentum with each listen. You may like or even love other albums, but the magical ones like this are few and far between. Music so good you can’t stop listening to it and feel the need to tell everyone you know about it. CDs that make you think “Where the hell have I been?” upon discovering that it has existed for months or years without your knowledge.<\/p>\n
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot<\/em><\/a> is an easy example from recent memory.<\/p>\n Skittish<\/em><\/a> meets this criteria too. It was (and still is) my favorite album of all time.<\/p>\n Before that it was probably Slanted and Enchanted<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Before that it was Nevermind<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Today? It’s A Love Extreme<\/em><\/a> by Benji Hughes.<\/p>\n Check this out. How awesome is this guy?<\/p>\n
