Albumism’s 50 Best Albums of 2017 | #50: Texas’ ‘Jump On Board’

December 1, 2017 Albumism Staff

#50
Texas | Jump On Board
PIAS Recordings/BMG | Official Store | Amazon | iTunes

According to Quentin Harrison: “Jump On Board luxuriates in its own proficiency and, when looking across Texas's established discography, expands the group’s already-rich track record that any number of today's bands can (and should) take cues from. Sure, there will be some that will see this approach as a band coasting on its past glories. It's true that the band isn't searching for the ebb of ‘what's next,’ but they're far from lazy. Rather, Texas is offering a sound cultivated over 27 years that has finally reached the full peak of its flavor, and it's meant to be savored.”
