Bill Laurance is a real champ. I'll be talking about him on my top 25 thread when the honorable mentions section comes around. :thumb:

Yeah man. I was hooked when I heard his first album "Flint".

This thread is not going to be a review thread as I generally suck at expressing my opinion on music through words. I've just never really been able to get past the "You should check this out it's good. Why? Because...uhhhh...it is." phase. I'll still post my personal top list in the Best of 2016 thread but this is going to be where I dump all the interesting sh*t that just can't comprise that list unless I make it a top 100.

Plus, sometimes I don't feel like reading something. I just want to listen to the album. This is a thread for that. Straight to the point.

So, yeah. Here we go.

You know, I often feel like this too. Sometimes it's really hard to put into words how you feel about an album. You can listen to one and really love it, but how to communicate that to others? I often have trouble finding the words to translate my feelings about certain albums to others, so you're certainly not alone in that regard.

I'm gonna need to check out every album in here.
