I have a few, but one is unfinished, and the other one I'm not as proud of, so here is this one. Hope you like it:

Yes you did!
And I really really appreciate it! You went really in-depth and that was awesome. Thanks again!

Ho!  I'm late to this thread but want to say it's been good inspiration this week.  I've been listening to Tone's album and Poptodd's album on my commute too so far.  Both are great, in very different ways.  It reminded me how it is DEFINITELY a different, richer experience listening to an album.  With these 2 albums, I felt one works so well because it has a common vibe running through it, the other works so well because of the diversity!  In both cases the whole is more than the sum of the parts... that's the magic of albums, right?

It also made me realise how where you post it for streaming is important.  For some reason (on my phone on my commute at least) I'm finding it a chore to listen to an album on Bandcamp (kept stopping or having long pauses after each track), but I found the 2 above on Deezer and there it all flowed smoothly.  Maybe Deezer (& Spotify) have a better UI and are better optimised towards full album listening?

Will be exploring more of the albums on this thread... looking forward to that.
Here's our last one by the way, from 3 or 4 years back: "All Those Opinions".  Also lurking around gathering dust on Spotify & iTunes somewhere.

It's all too beautiful.

Thanks for sharing!

Playback devices seem to be very important and fundamental. I'm listening to the albums in the thread in my car, when my wife puts the kids to sleep and I'm using a Big Bluetooth Speaker to for it, instead of the car stereo. Feels much better this way. It's not better than the car stereo but it feels much more personal.

PaulyX - I'm adding your album to my listening list. It's gonna be a blast!
Have a great day!

Not exactly a full album, but here is a full EP  ;)

Fairly old now...2 or 3 of the tracks were reviewed in the forum a while back...

It's done!
I finished listening to the albums listed in this thread.

What an experience - this exercise toom me places!

I listened to each album on a separate day in my car while my wife put the kids to sleep (its her turn twice a week so it was 2 albums a week tops)
I listened without doing anything else - no phone no other things just to give full attention and it was fantastic!

Overall - listening to a full album is an experience somewhat similar to watching a movie or marathoning a TV series, depends on the album. I definitely felt the hard work and the souls poured into the art.

Thanks to everyone who posted, you did an amazing job!
Have a great day!
