#30 Out of the Blue - Electric Light Orchestra However, it makes for a great accompaniment, and in fact, out of all of them, this is the cd I’ve played the most, without a doubt.
#Reddit ranking all pink floyd albums full
Overall, this album is at the bottom, because while the space rock aspect is immersive, it makes it hard to listen with my full concentration. It wraps up in a really epic way, and the song ends with a return to that “Main Theme” I talked about earlier. It’s 6 minutes of pure awesomeness, like a symphony of distorted guitars, accompanied by cymbales, an organ and many others (this is the 2010 mix I’m talking about, which is my preferred version).
It’s all nice and tranquill, until we get to the 8 and a half-minute mark, where this frantic piano takes center stage, and it leads into the best part of the album. It’s got a great, somewhat mysterious sound, that eventually leads to the “Main theme” with vocals from Mike’s sister, Sally, and Clodagh Simond. But part 2 of Hergest Ridge is where the party starts. However, this comes with the caveat of those standout moments (like the end), while still certainly good, don’t compare to TB’s highlights. It’s much smoother than TB, and it holds the “space-rock” mood without breaking my immersion throughout the whole track. 1 of Hergest Ridge is like Tubular Bells it does some things better, and some things worse. and onward), but I really don’t care for the start (also, On Horseback is nice). 2 has a fantastic ending (from around 10 min. It flows nicely, but nothing (except maybe the end) really grabs my attention, meanwhile pt. Part 2 exacerbates this problem, leading it unsatisfying to listen to, even if the individual sections are fine.
1 is excellent, there a some parts in the middle (like that guitar section) that just come out of nowhere that feel very disjointed, meaning it doesn’t flow very well from start to finish. For starters, this is my favourite Mike Oldfield album. This first one is an instrumental album comprising of 2 halves, each being a little less than 20-minutes. Warning: Controversial opinions approaching at high speeds.
Also, if an album you love isn't on the list, I simply don't own it because:Ī: The album is too expensive (not a common reason, but it's true for albums like Hybris - Änglagård)ī: I don't like the album enough to purchase it (I have a limited amount of money, you know)Ĭ: It's on part 2 (these things take time to write you know & picture limit)Īlso also, these are all cds, because they're cheaper, have a wider selection & I don't have a machine to play vinyls anyway. Saying "You're wrong!", and leaving it at that, is neither a compelling argument, nor is it fun to read. Disclaimer: If you don't like the placement of an album(or more), tell me exactly why you think that. That being said, I love every single one of these albums, even if they’re not at the top. I like rankings things, because it makes me think harder about the things I like and why I like them. So, I decided to rank all of the albums that I own, from least-most favourite to most-most favourite.
