Pornography
Used Import - FIXD 7
1982 UK Vinyl With Custom Inner Sleeve. Top seam split. "Pornography" is as a dark, brooding opus that marks a pivotal moment in the band's evolution. Released in 1982, the album is often hailed as the culmination of The Cure's early gothic phase—a dense and oppressive soundscape that captures the band's exploration of despair and existential angst. Robert Smith's haunting vocals and the relentless, driving percussion create an atmosphere of claustrophobic intensity, making it clear that this record is not for the faint of heart. With tracks like "One Hundred Years" and the title track "Pornography," the band delves into themes of alienation and nihilism, crafting a sonic experience that is as unsettling as it is compelling. ...

Shout / Everybody Wants To Rule The World
New - 12 - 0600753579046
Sealed 2015 RSD die-cut EP with inner sleeve. "Shout / Everybody Wants to Rule the World", stands as a defining emblem of 1980s pop-rock, encapsulating the band's deft synthesis of introspective lyricism and anthemic soundscapes. "Shout," with its emphatic refrain and powerful vocal delivery, manifests as a cathartic outcry against societal and personal constraints. The track is driven by a pulsating rhythm and layered instrumentation, which together create a resonant backdrop for its raw, emotional urgency. It is both a call to action and a therapeutic release, embodying the tension between individual expression and collective experience that is central to Tears for Fears' oeuvre.
On the flip side, "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" offers a more nuanced, contemplative take on power and ambition, underscored by its breezy yet poignant melody. The song's intricate guitar lines and Roland Orzabal's smooth vocal delivery generate a sense of wistful reflection, contrasting with the more urgent tone of "Shout." Lyrically, it delves into the complexities of human desire and the fleeting nature of control, resonating with an audience attuned to the geopolitical anxieties of its era. Together, these tracks showcase Tears for Fears' ability to blend profound thematic content with accessible, chart-topping sound, cementing their status as one of the era's most influential musical acts. ...

Released in 2018, this compilation album brings a fresh twist to the classic catalog of Elton John and Bernie Taupin, breathing new life into their timeless songs through the earthy and heartfelt lens of country music. The project is a testament to the duo’s wide-reaching influence, as each artist faithfully navigates the intricate narratives and melodies that have come to define John and Taupin's legacy. The album is a diverse tapestry, with each track uniquely reflecting the individual artist's style while remaining true to the spirit of the original compositions.

The project is a live mixtape recorded over the course of two days at the legendary Capital Studios in Los Angeles. It features an impressive ensemble of artists, including Yasiin Bey, Herbie Hancock, and Andra Day, among others. Glasper's mastery of the piano and his ability to seamlessly integrate various genres are on full display, creating a sonic landscape that is both intricate and accessible. The improvisational nature of the record captures the raw and spontaneous energy of a jam session, reflecting Glasper's commitment to authenticity and innovation.
Thematically, "Fuck Yo Feelings" addresses the complexities of modern life and the multifaceted nature of human emotion.

Tracks like "This Changes Everything" and "Endangered Black Woman" are both poignant and powerful, offering commentary on social issues while maintaining a groove that is quintessentially Glasper. While some critics may find the sprawling format challenging, Glasper's bold approach and his ensemble's undeniable chemistry make this record a standout in his already impressive discography.
