I ROBOT

I'm a fan of APP, I mean The Turn Of The Friendly Card is one of my favorite albums they ever released, and I also love Eye In The Sky and then they have a few amazing songs on other albums as well, but nothing quite at the level of these three albums. I'm just absolutely in love with how timeless and amazing they sound, Alan Parsons engineered Abbey Road and The Dark Side Of The Moon, he's one of the most talented producers of all time. For some reason though, I never listened to I Robot in full, so I finally decided to break that and listen to it. There are a few albums I'm missing from them so I might as well just fully dive into every single one. My next will probably be Vulture Culture.

So yeah I Robot, how does it hold up to their other classics?

It's pretty good, I still really enjoyed it. It's vibey, Alan Parsons ambient themes are timeless and it's just a very good listen overall. They never fail to create absolutely immaculate vibes. I'd say this is their most progressive record out of all of them, I Robot definitely holds up against other APP classics.

There are not a lot of like absolutely mindblowing individual tracks, but overall as an album, this thing flows together perfectly and has nothing but quality on it. Definitely, their third-best record that I've heard so far. Tracks like The Voice really remind me of Pink Floyd, which makes a lot of sense, because I mean Alan Parsons produced it. He produced Dark Side. Then you have a song like Nucleus which is almost an Ambient song, sounds awesome. Then the intro, which is a very progressive piece, that opens up the album perfectly.

A pretty forward-thinking quality piece from one of the most underrated, especially from one of the best sound engineers of all time. 4 stars i'm glad I have the vinyl :)
