The Band

I am happy to announce that when it came to The Band's sophomore album, it clicked a lot better with myself and showed that I can in fact get down with this band. Now what I do want to preface is that I don't see this album being anywhere near an "essential listening experience" and I honestly find it to be good and not much more. It makes the Folk Rock sounds of their debut much more clear and enjoyable to my overall tastes while also never doing anything extremely out there or weird. They are simple and to the point, and that is something I can appreciate. Even with that being said, why in the absolute fuck is this considered to be some "greatest of all time masterpiece" it feels like your average Folk Rock project with nothing super remarkable to make me die over this album for. It is standard in my eyes, and nothing more. No need to loose our marbles over where I'd hope most albums to be. Nuff said.

Saw The Band in Boston at the half shell on the Charles....what a great night! 💙

Timeless Americana.

These guys were musical geniuses.

The Band are just a classic and I grew up listening to this album in particular. I think my brother "inherited" it from our father's collection.

They are the band, nuff said.

They were awesome

This is as close to a perfect album you can get.
