First impressions: I like it, better treble, more controlled bass. Old vinyls sound better 🤷‍♂️ Tested with:
Darknes On The Edge of Town
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
Abbey Road

Also a 2018 reissue.

Crises sold millions thanks to “Moonlight Shadow,” but it divides fans—some see it as a commercial betrayal, others as his most accessible and emotional work. Technically flawless, it showcases Oldfield mastering studio craft and composition. Masterpiece or concession? Let’s hear it!

Side A is classic Oldfield: “Crises” (20 min) kicks off with a hypnotic guitar riff that evolves into electronic layers and a vocal climax. Side B delivers hits: “Moonlight Shadow” (feat. Maggie Reilly) is an eternal pop anthem, and “In High Buildings” experiments with rhythms. #80sMusic

It’s not Born to Run glory, but there’s quiet triumph in its simplicity. Sometimes the albums we overlook in our 20s become the ones that speak loudest in our 40s. What’s your underrated Springsteen gem?

The songs feel intimate, almost like diary entries from a man finding light after darkness. Tracks like “Better Days” and “If I Should Fall Behind” hit differently now—raw hope wrapped in reflection

One of my favorites
