Two albums that come to mind as I listened to them recently.

Atoms For Peace Amok. This album builds slow for me. Starting with track 5, "Unless" through the final track, "Amok" is pure joy. But I have yet to cozy up to the first four songs. Well, I'm liking "Dropped" more than I have before now but still...

An oldie but favorite: Elton John's Madman Across the Water. Really love his early '70s stuff. Side 1 is brilliant: "Levon", "Tiny Dancer", "Razor Face" and the title track. But every time I try to get into side 2 I can't, except maybe for "Rotten Peaches".
