Some albums are a great collection of songs. In the '70's, those albums would be just as good on vinyl or on an 8-track where the songs are in a completely different order. Other albums are meant to be listened to from beginning to end in a particular order, some of which are concept albums and some aren't. Included in the latter list is "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Band" by the Beatles, "No Compromise" by Keith Green, "The Misfit" by Erick Nelson and Michele Pillar, "The Roar Of Love" (a musical retelling of C.S. Lewis' The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe) by 2nd Chapter of Acts, and the newest on this list, "The Dark Side of the Ocean" by Rusty Shipp.
As you can see, this project has a very creative cover, and the songs are just as creative. There are seventeen cuts to this project, with seven of those being interludes of ninety seconds or less (five being less than a minute), including the opening title track. The songs flow from one to another.
While there's no weak songs in this collection, allow me to mention my favorites: "Us And Them," "Livin' Water," "Bottom of the Barrell,", "Tanninim," and "What's Kraken?".
I highly recommend this project. You can learn more about Rusty Shipp on their website, or their Facebook Page; you can also check them out on Spotify.
