An album a year for each year you are alive

You was slightly disappointed with it when it first came out?! WHAT?! Well at least you came to your senses and realised it's a brilliant album in the end :beer:
I suppose it's just like an album coming out today - expectation, rumours about how good it is, and whatever is on the record it can't live up to expectations..
 
I wanna do a new one!

It's important to note that even though I'm young, most of my favorite albums are much older than I am. I don't buy a whole lot of newer music. And I didn't even really get into music until the past few years which accounts for my complete lack of owning any albums released from 95-98.
