Screamadelica - Primal Scream

Remember how we were going to review this album and then you decided that what you really wanted to do was quit doing anything and started going to raves and demanding E from all the other librarians? Remember that?

Well, that's basically the only way for me to figure out why Screamadelica is such a seminal album (according to Allmusic and others). I think you have to be at raves and high on Ecstasy to really "get it" (and probably have to be from Manchester, too, which is so horribly depressing that dancing in a warehouse is actually a huge step above actual life.) Not being an E doer, nor a raver, I decided to do something that would be somewhat similar. I ate a lot of sugar and turned on the visualizer on iTunes. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

"It's full of stars!"
