The best albums in the world usually find a way of capturing a spirit between the grooves. While they might be a collection of songs thrown together, the most prominent artists on the planet know how to put the listener in a specific mood whenever they get behind the glass and bring their music to the world. Sometimes, artists make tracks perfect for hot fun in the summertime, and then, artists like Black Sabbath make songs destined for the dreary days inside.
Since music is never going to run short of party songs, a handful of artists have honed their craft by making moodier records that are perfect for days when the rain washes everything away. Outside of the mellow groove, you can practically hear the rain falling as some of these LPs start, either because of their haunting mood or the strange layers of harmony.
