Rock Albums Released on This Day in History
The perfect daily read for fans looking to explore rock history one day—and one album—at a time.
Featured Rock Albums
2018
Ghost
– Prequelle
What gives Prequelle its real bite is the tension between subject and style. The lyrics talk of death, decay, and damnation, but the songs sparkle. It’s the poppiest album about pestilence you’ll hear, and that’s the point.
1999
blink-182
– Enema of the State
What really drives Enema of the State home is its ability to swing from juvenile to devastating in the blink of a drum fill. One minute it’s all high school locker room snark, the next it’s gut punches about growing up too fast and feeling like an alien in your own body.
