The Saga…goes forth into another dimension…one greater than our own!

35. Widespread Panic – Ball (2003)

The first album after the death of Michael Houser, and quite arguably their best studio album to date. Panic aren’t really known for doing studio albums; they’re primarily a live band, but that still doesn’t mean they’re not worthy to listen to. If you’ve listened to Panic, here you will find more mature writing and tightly crafted songs. It’s an album I don’t expect Panic to make another of and I really hope they don’t. On a side note, this album came out a week before I went to see them with my mom. Thanks mom for bringing me to this concert and standing with me through the pot smoke haze.
