Alabama Shakes Sound And Color Vinyl Review. At the review aggregator metacritic the album currently holds a score of 80 based on 30 critics indicating generally favorable reviews. Vinyl lp black vinylvinyl lp single sided etched black vinylall media album 180g country. It s chaotic yet cohesive full of sound colour and unshakable vision.
Rough trade rtradlp750 format. This is the sound of a band that s in it for the long haul amplifying what worked the first time and stretching in new directions to challenge both the performers and their listeners.
Sound color makes clear this success was not a fluke.
It has a softer more polished feel and while some may feel as if this somewhat lessens the emotional impact of the band s sound a more sparse use of the more explosive expressive sound frequently deployed on boys girls means that when alabama shakes really go for it on sound color it is a whole lot more effective and the album as a whole is a much easier one to listen to and appreciate in its entirety. Referencing sound color lp 180 lp s sided 180 album ato0269 better than the regular pressing but not as well done as most 180 gram vinyl. Mine still has a warp but has less surface noise than light pressing. Alabama shakes escape their retro soul box for good on sound color a strange mystical and unexpected record with traces of curtis mayfield erykah badu mc5 and the strokes.
