This must be how people in the 70s felt when a classic album dropped. I didn't even know music could be this good anymore. 🖤

[@crowredeye8066]

Great observation. And you're correct. The 70s was such a great era for music. Record stores were a trip. Concerts were cheap, like 5 dollars, and they normally featured at least 2 bands, sometimes 3. Black Pumas are fantastic.

[@iamtonyp123]

70s, 80s, and 90s. Occasionally the opposite would happen. Then you would just want to take the record out, and throw it like a frisbee. But when you got something great you spent time with it like a new best friend. This band sounds like a new best friend.
