In order to fully understand what you’re getting into, two points of note are in order. First, Abyss was recorded in a cave.
The first five seconds may be the most disco part of the album, and if for some unfathomable reason that is a turn off for you I insist that you listen on.
Johnny Cash, High On Fire, Shout Out Louds, Joanna Newsom and more!
Charlie Wilson’s War is especially effective because it’s a subversive exposé on American politics wrapped in a pretty Hollywood package.
