What album would you describe as "magical"?

[cshadows2887]

I'm not really sure what prompted it, but I made my choice on this a few days ago:

Jimmy Eat World - Chase This Light

Curious whhat everyone thinks.

[briewer]

"Magic"? I guess Aphex Twin- Richard D. James Album. I've had that album for over five years and have listened to it over a hundred times, and I still can't fully wrap my head around it.

[Rodeo]

The Beatles - Abbey Road
Tom Waits - Rain Dogs
Nick Drake - Pink Moon
John Coltrane - Blue Train
Led Zeppelin - IV

[KingJohn_654]

fun. - Aim and Ignite

[sweepthenation]

Anberlin - Cities

[Captain Awesome]

Saves The Day - Stay What You Are.
Hence, the avatar.

[Debut_Fin]

Jimmy Eat World - Chase This Light

fun. - Aim and Ignite

Anberlin - Cities

these

[Burn That Shit]

no album i've listened to has been produced by magic, or sounds like it was recorded with sleight of hand. i'm not going to list my favorite albums, because even though i like them, magical would not be a proper adjective to describe them.

[squared82]

Sufjan Stevens - Illinoise

[StreetSpirit76]

[MADSTA]

Definitely Illinois.

Oh play along. No album ever made you think something magic must have clicked when they were making it? Or makes you feel something beyond guitars, bass and drums?

Obviously no albums are recorded by parlor tricks. Except maybe Panic's discography, as much as I love it.

Thursday - A City By The Light Divided has a magical feel to it at points.

[Alex DiVincenzo]

Say Anything - Is a Real Boy

[Broclee]

For Emma, Forever Ago - Bon Iver

[rockstargallery]

David Ford's "I Sincerely Apologise For All The Trouble I've Caused"

That's one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

For me though? The Glass Passenger.

[Machu505]

Cat Stevens' albums sound pretty magical to me.

[supersteve7889]

Moving Mountains - Pneuma

[kbi the crowing]

While I don't actually have the record yet, I think Aughra / Mosh Patrol's "Is There Anyone Else Outside?" has that potential

Jimmy eat World? are you freakin kidding me?

[eliselovesmusic]

oh and My Morning Jacket's EP 'Sweatbees' was pretty magical too....

[acemvivere]

The Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter EPs by Jon Foreman.

Brilliant.

[Sloth7]

Hmmm, well I guess it would be too easy to just list my favorite albums that make me feel good while listening to them...

Well, I always thought anything by Sigur Ros, especially Ágætis byrjun, ( ) or Takk... are albums that have that feel to them. They're a band that creates that atmospheric feel to each song which could be described as magical.

[Sic Transit Zeb]

For Emma, Forever Ago - Bon Iver

yup.!

[taylerx0]

Lydia- Illuminate

[cshadows2887]

Cat Stevens' albums sound pretty magical to me.

You know. I never thought of it. But they kind of are. Especially if we're talking Tea for the Tillerman or Teaser and the Firecat.

I've never really thought of using "magical" as a word to describe music but I guess St. Vincent kind of reminds me of I've never really thought of using "magical" as a word to describe music but I guess St. Vincent kind of reminds me of Cinderella who is magical.

Also, a lot of shoegaze.

It's not real magic dumbass. it's almost metaphorical for how great you feel listening to the album.

Although this will probably make me sound immature, Clarity. It's probably not my favorite album, but it would probably be the most "magical" I've heard.

I personally prefer Bleed American and Static Prevails, but Clarity is on my ipod as well and you know what, JEW hasn't really failed for me. (Futures' Drugs or Me is my least favorite song from them, but the Styrofoam Remix of it from the Stay On My Side Tonight EP blows my mind)
