Carole King - Tapestry (Top 500 Countdown Update)

It's an album like this that makes me realize how amazing an album like Born in the USA is. The three opening songs on this album are incredible. There are other great songs on this album, but for a pop album it struggles at times to keep the momentum going. It is so incredibly hard to put down 12 really tightly constructed songs and never slip. Don't get me wrong this is a very good album, but it does have moments where it feels like it's struggling along.
