Top 25 Albums of All Time – #8

Relient K – Five Score and Seven Years Ago

I just can’t get enough of it. Packaged pop-punk? Yes. But is it well done? Absolutely. Maybe the best. Certainly in the best-in-class category. Lyrically, this stuff packs a serious punch, too. Don’t believe me on the lyrics? Listen to the *epic* “Deathbed” and decide for yourself. It’s awesome. It’s a songwriter’s song – a story-song. Love it.

FYI: The album cover image I’ve used is from the original album release cardboard sleeve. It’s fairly rare and unknown, but I prefer it to the “updated” cover.
