By Double 0 Soul · Posted
Im looking at an album as a body of work by that artist, of course not every track will be a banger but it’s a capsule from that era, a piece of tangible art, it looks beautiful, it sounds beautiful, the lingo, the expression the lyrics the musicianship all reflect thoughts and feelings which will inevitably change over time, to not appreciate it as a body of work is like going to a Picasso exhibition to see Guernica, and walking past the rest of the filler hanging on the walls.. But yes, most albums do suck but a lot of them only suck in comparison, when you have very few records, very few of your records suck, when you have 1000s most of them suck.. like you say, “7 or 8 of those tracks are filler” but you only consider them to be ‘filler’ when you have 1000s of better tracks at your disposal. I'd grown up in an era of the £16 CD, this was when i was earning less than £100/wk so my CD collection had to be very carefully considered, i only bought music from artists who i aligned myself with and even then.. i'd have to save up to buy their album .. the period following / when i had a larger disposable income coincided with the era of 2x CDs for £5 from Fopp so every Saturday i would rummage around Fopp for bargain CDs.. I'd come away with something like a random Lee Perry album and The Northern Soul of Philadelphia for instance.. was this because I aligned myself with these artists? No of course not.. they were 2x for a fiver I've since reduced my CD collection down from around 2000 to around 350, it was 300 but i've bought more to fill gaps.. ..but surely the beauty still exists in the lesser? .. like the aural pain of Black Angel's Death Song .. or to quote De la Soul.. "Sometimes the body needs to feel stressed to appreciate the joy" -
