I’m going to listen to the top 3 upvoted albums and give you my honest unfiltered thoughts.

Please explain what makes the album special to you. For context, lyrics are very important to me, so I gravitate to music with good storytelling.

Alright! Results are in. I’ll be listening to:

  • Lateralus - Tool
  • To Pimp a Butterfly - Kendrick Lamar
  • Pink Moon - Nick Drake
  • Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness - The Smashing Pumpkins

(I know I said 3, but I couldn’t resist!)

  • Grey Cadence @lemmy.one

    Alt-J An awesome wave - it really is considered as a whole in its creation. There are interludes, dips & swells in the energy, and a whole journey of sonically related songs which keep introducing new variations and sounds.

    Sufjan Stevens the BQE - another album that really should be enjoyed as a whole journey, it follows the daily commute of so many along the Brooklyn Queens Expressway in NYC. It wanders from orchestral to electronic noise, and is a wonderful album to put on for a slow Sunday morning.
