This is one of the all time great rock albums. Lanois has created his own niche that will inevitably not be filled by others. It is too personal and distinctive the combination of its strong imagery and totally controlled (but sometimes wild) sound. The imagery in Rocky World can proudly stand next to that of any song. Jenny has religion, she sinks in her chair \u002F She's made a decision to color her hair \u002F the black man cut the sugar cane \u002F she watches the rain \u002F in a building away from the rocky world. Unbelievable. Lanois' other album, Acadie, is the natural precursor to this one.
