Best Rock Album of 2016

jb2455,

I'm a big PT/Steven Wilson fan. I have most of PT on vinyl and SW as well. "4-1/2" was not, IMO, one of his best in terms of sonics. Side on (lp) is not very good in SQ, IMO, Side two is better.

I'm not calling you out, just wanted to make my case for any one considering shelling out big bucks for the lp.

Cheers!

..it WAS from 2015.

January 22, 2016 is what my copy release date was....

Being a subscriber to Analog Planet (Mike Fremer) paid off: the latest from the Apple Rabbits is on constant repeat on my Pono player. Should have bought LP, it is that good!! Downloaded all AR previous efforts, was not impressed: too Radiohead-y

Andrew Bird's new album, Are You Serious, has my vote.

9:50 into his tiny desk concert is the song "Capsized"
