Buy Worried Well from Amazon
If you wanted to make a case for why no rock masterpieces are being made anymore (not saying you should), an album like 31Knots’s Worried Well may be a good place to start, at least on the creativity side of things. Here’s an underrated, eclectic indie-rock band that has everything going its way: It's gone a decade without producing a bad release, it has the support of Portland, Oregon, one of the most happenin’ music cities in the world, and has released an album that brings together all that makes it great. In past decades, with fewer and bolder bands, an album like Worried Well had a better chance of being considered a masterpiece.
