So, while waiting for the new album to arrive…one of many revisits to 'Trust Us'…and the WHAOW factor is still very, very high!
Though I could never name a "best MP album", Trust Us is big. It's their Physical Graffiti. Every note is tasty perfect and the album's scope is only rivalled by the Unicorn. In hindsight it's not surprising that they started a new phase after that one.
I agree. I'll be away from the album for some time but I always come back to it, and every time I do I get more and more impressed by it…and then I praise myself lucky for being an mp fan. It brings great joy to my life.
Imagine my face when I first discovered Motorpsycho with AADAP, bought the album on january 1998 and the same year came that double thing with cars on covers. Couldn't believe my ears. What was that? Was it some secret best band on earth nobody has heard of? Seemed so back on that years in my country at least.
I was on my 18/19 years and they on they 28/29 so I guess timing was perfect.
Stop now doubleposting nonsense :MPD:
btw curiously I ordered both TU and Behind the Sun on vinyl this time
my MP vinyl collection also expanded over the past years and BTS is the first album i only have on vinyl.
@supernaut I've never thought about it that way, but when you look at the next four releases (which I guess you can call the California pop period) it makes a lot of sense that TU can be seen as the distillation of everything that came before it.
Maybe TDDU is the same? That again it is distillation of everything that came before it (prog heaven
) and that MP are now embarking on a new 'period'? The way their discography reads there seems to be the need for a couple of 'rest' albums in between each change of direction.As always, interesting times being an MP fan.
