The five hundred and eightieth album: #580 XTC - Skylarking
The entirety of Skylarking feels a bit like a dream, a lazy weekend day with gray weather and a world that's slowly going on around you. It's both well thought and enigmatic in its energy, while sketching out the basics really quickly so you don't need all of them as much. It's theatrical, but that's the feeling that works well in this context and the album is more powerful for it as a result.
