The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers 2LP Deluxe
Newly remastered, if you don't already have this album, now's the time to pick it up. This comes in two versions: the 2 LP Deluxe and the 1 LP standard. The difference is that the deluxe has two bonus tracks and is "housed in an outer wallet with real zip."
Their seventh album, Muse asks the listener to consider humanity itself with Drones. Ostensibly a critique of killing machines controlled in faraway climate-controlled bunkers, the concepts run deeper. According to The Guardian, Drones is "fist-pumpingly ace; a timely restatement of the need for popular music to evoke both thought and dopamine rush."
Currently, Drones has a score of 81 on Metacritic
Ryan Adams - Ten Songs From Live at Carnegie Hall
Earlier this year, we got a 6 LP box set of Live at Carnegie Hall by Ryan Adams containing 42 live tracks from two nights of performances at Carnegie Hall in November 2014. Those were in limited numbers and out of stock. Now, we get a subset of the songs on a single LP.
This double LP contains a lot of music which is not surprising given that it took over 3 years to complete. It was released on CD in April and we're now getting the LP version.
Love Story has a score of 64 on Metacritic
