Top 10 Albums of All Time

The following is my top 10 list for music albums. Some of these have already been reviewed. Look for the others to be reviewed in the future.

The Everglow - Mae
A beautiful concept album. Don't just download a digital copy - go get the actual physical CD. Follow the instructions that you are given on the first track and open up the book and look at the pictures as you listen.

Eat, Sleep, Repeat - Copeland
Right now Copeland is my favourite band. The music is masterfully crafted to speak straight to your emotions and your soul.

You Are My Sunshine - Copeland
Choosing my favourite Copeland album was no easy task. Eat, Sleep, Repeat won out in the end because I've owned it long enough that the novelty of it being "new" has worn off, and yet I still love it. I wouldn't be surprised if the more recent "You Are My Sunshine" moves to the #1 or #2 spot on this list in the next few months.

Never Take Friendship Personal - Anberlin
"Dance, Dance, Christa Paffgen" is quite possibly my favourite song ever. Add "Paperthin Hymn" and the original "Feel Good Drag" and this album is Anberlin's finest work.

The Silver Cord - The Classic Crime
When I just need some good solid rock music, I turn to this album. It is also full of thought provoking lyrics.
"It seems we're fearfully made and designed
But it's a shame we can be so blind
We're all the same
Made of hair and bones and water and blood cells
And we're all to blame
For spending way too much time on ourselves"
-Abracadavers

Beyond Measure - Jeremy Camp
You can always count on Jeremy Camp to provide uplifting lyrics. I also love his music because he makes good use of the acoustic guitar, which means I can play along. Highlights include "When You Are Near" and the title track "Beyond Measure." His arrangement of "Give Me Jesus" is absolutely beautiful and probably the best worship song I have ever heard.

Destination: Beautiful - Mae
The first dozen or so times that I listened to Mae they didn't seem like anything special. They were good, but there was nothing to make them standout. The more I listened, the more I fell in love with their music. The best word that I can use to describe it is "deep." There's more to their sound than what initially meets the ear; something amazing that you don't hear right away.

Albatross - The Classic Crime
This is The Classic Crime's first album. See my description of "The Silver Cord" for an explanation of what makes it so amazing.

David Crowder Band
I only own one David Crowder CD (Remedy), and I'm pretty sure its not his best. It still meets the criteria for "really good," but I think one of his others would fit here better (Maybe "A Collision"). At any rate, David Crowder has some really good worship music and definetely belongs on this list.

The Question - Emery
There is no question that "The Question" is Emery's best album. Actually I don't really like their other ones that much. But this one's just awesome. It's probably the only album I like that has a somewhat significant amount of screaming in it.

The Myriad

Looking for a new band to listen to? I highly recommend that you check out The Myriad. Head on over to their purevolume where you can listen to the entire album "With Arrows, With Poise."
