Evil Urges
My Morning Jacket - 2008
I think of Evil Urges like the dinner buffet at the Rio hotel in Las Vegas, tons of variety at really high quality. Most albums that span multiple genres end up sounding like a bad mix tape, but Evil Urges is not that album. From track to track MMJ could be a jam band, a classic rock band, funk, etc. You imagine them opening or Radiohead as easily as for the Stones. The album has a glossy, well produced feel, with intricate guitar work, classic vocal harmonies, and vintage tube amp rock riffs.
