Stuck this album on this morning while I was working. It one of the albums that was on an almost constant cycle when I was working my way through university. John Legend's Get Lifted, Tenacious D's self titled album and Tool's Lateralus were others in the collection of maybe 15 or 20 discs that were pulled out when serious work needed to be done to meet a deadline. This usually meant staying up until the small hours in the loft space of our "Wonky"student house.
So when I threw Is This It on this morning I instantly fell back into that mindset. It's a calming thing. Something that relaxes the stressed muscles that appear when deadlines are needing to be met. Now I have no harsh deadlines right now, but jeez it's a good feeling when you find an album that allows you to work without distraction. It's a phenomenal album anyway and I'd probably have to find room in an imaginary "Top 10" for it.
My one small complaint? It's over too quick. All the more reason to stick it on again and play ridiculous air guitar along with Last Night. I think everyone should bring this album back out of their collections and give it a fresh listen. It's bloody gorgeous!
Enjoy.
