Week 1



1. King Crimson-In The Court of The Crimson King (1969)
A fantastic album by a fantastic band. If you like Progressive Rock, please do yourself a favor and give this album a listen if you haven't already. You won't be disappointed. My favorite track is "21st Century Schizoid Man", a heavily distorted Prog Rock tune with politically charged lyrics (a huge difference to the rest of the album).






2. Crystal Stilts-In Love with Oblivion (2011)
The second LP by Post-Punk band Crystal Stilts. I would describe this band's sound as a more upbeat Joy Division. My favorite tracks on this album are "Shake the Shackles" and "Silver Sun". Love it.









3. Tyler, the Creator-Goblin (2011)
The second solo album by rapper Tyler, the Creator. An interesting album with some great beats and witty wordplay. If you like alternative Hip-Hop, this album is worthy of your time. The tracks that stood out to me are "Yonkers" (the first single from the album) and "She". I look forward to this dudes third album coming this year.
