This is a controversial album for a top 5 pick: it is relatively unfamiliar to most, and, being just a year and a half old, has not withstood the test of time. I didn't like it at first; it took me three or four listens before it really grabbed me... But once it did, it just started getting better and better.
Antifogmatic is an album not like any other. It strictly adheres to a five-piece traditional bluegrass instrumentation, yet there is nothing traditional about it. It was made by five of the most talented musicians on their respective instruments, yet it doesn't sound like they are overplaying. It is musically diverse, with influences as broad as classical, bluegrass, and rock.
Punch Brothers are one of the most exciting bands in music right now. There is nobody else who is doing what they are; they have managed to take a traditional music genre and move it into the next generation.
Standout tracks:
- Don't Need No
- You Are
- This Is The Song (Good Luck)
