So, in the latest installment of this wonderful series, I'm going to share my favorite albums. As in, records. As in, LPs. Let's get to it then.
1. The Life of the World to Come, by The Mountain Goats
Each song on this record is based on a verse from the Christian Bible, and they are breathtaking. Well, in actuality the verses are just jumping-off points; John Darnielle (the only real member of The Mountain Goats) spins ridiculous, whispered, heartbreaking tales on every single track. It is wonderful.
2. It's All Crazy! It's All False! It's All a Dream! It's Alright!, by Mewithoutyou
I love Mewithoutyou. They are my favorite band. There is no contest. This album is incredibly different than their others, but it is just so incredible. The lyrics are reflections on Bawa Muhaiyaddeen teachings, and they are beautiful, humbling, and quite honestly, life-changing. Check it out.
