Revelations

Paul McCartney's 1986 album Press To Play reaches its 40th anniversary with a legacy shaped as much by experimentation and ambitious production as by its uneven commercial reception.

Aaliyah's second album, One In A Million, reached its 30th anniversary earlier this month, marking three decades since the record transformed her artistic direction and helped define a new generation of R&B production.

Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds' third album, Kicking Against The Pricks, turns 40 this month, marking four decades since the band used an album of cover versions to broaden its musical vocabulary.

Sixty years after its release, The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds remains one of the most studied and influential albums in modern music, a record that reshaped studio production, elevated pop music's artistic ambitions and changed the trajectory of rock albums forever.

Two decades on, Gnarls Barkley’s St Elsewhere remains a pivotal release, reshaping how music was made, distributed and consumed in the mid-2000s.

Two decades on, The Flaming Lips' At War With The Mystics remains a pivotal moment in the band's catalogue, marking a shift toward a more guitar-driven and politically aware sound.

Fifty years after it first washed up from the surf at Point Dume, Neil Young's Zuma remains one of his most quietly volatile records, a bruised and beautiful return to Crazy Horse that mixed pastoral reflection with jagged electric bursts, and gave the world the towering epic Cortez The Killer.
