Z is My Morning Jacket's fourth studio album and when doing a bit of research on their background, it lists them as psychedelic rock. I don't think I, myself, would classify them as psychedelic, but I could understand where that genre label comes from. More of a spacier sound using synthesizers and incorporating reggae/dub, I feel this album has a lot more depth, especially when listening to each track and seeing how different they sound. It Beats 4U and Gideon are two of my favorite tracks on this record because the vocals just captivates throughout. As of late, I've been on a MMJ kick and this album has been on heavy rotation. Off the Record is another great track even though I feel it has a Thievery Corporation sound to it. Regardless of the fact, when I re-listen to this album as I write this, I love all these songs. It's almost as if each song puts you in a different mood. One to be happy to, one to dance to, one to be nostalgic to and one that makes you think of a special person in your life. Yes, that is exactly why I've kept this album on heavy rotation!!
Enjoy!
