Very interesting inclusion but I dig it. I like the incorporation of electronic instruments into the orchestral arrangement. The vocaloid vocals in particular are super fascinating.

Overrated boring band. There’s so many artists who do what they do but far better.

Another classic. This may not be my personal favorite Mountain Goats album but I find it hard to argue with it being their most influential and important. It has zero misses.

I’ve adored this album since it came out. Honestly I think it might not quite reach the highs of Lateralus but it maintains much more consistency and has no major lows either.

MF DOOM was one of the greatest rappers of all time. Rest in peace. This album is perfection.

I've listened to some Alan Parsons Project stuff but had no idea their debut album was all Poe stories?! This is amazing. Such a perfect combination of my interests.

Arctic Monkeys are one of my favorite bands. I think this album is a real highlight in their creativity. It's super different for them but full of charm and a lot of whimsy. Turner's vocals are really at the top of their game here.

Most of the funk I listen to is older so it's interesting to hear a 90s version. You can definitely hear the influence of the era which is quite fascinating.

One of the best concept albums of all time. The songs are super varied, and there's just so much to unpack. All while melting your face with amazing riffs.

I prefer Red and Blue but this album still rips. Baroness are really slept on in my eyes.

Probably Manchester Orchestra's best album. I have a lot of nostalgia for their older stuff, but this one is just so flawlessly produced and written that it's tough to beat.

Generic pop with a horrible Fatboy Slim cover.

Mike Patton is such a good musician. This album really shines from his contributions. I love how much unique style they bring into metal.

Boring adult contemporary. I'm pretty sure my mom loves this album.

So angsty in the best way. I really felt this album as a teen as many did I'm sure, and it still holds up to this day. Her voice is so infectious.

Not a fan of the more theatrical aspects, but the parts that lean more towards folk/Americana are pretty nice. It's pleasant but I'm not sure how much I'll revisit it.

Another amazing album from The Flaming Lips. I prefer Yoshimi but only slightly. This one is a bit less focused on electronics which is a nice compliment to that album.

One of the best psych albums of all time, period. Insanely lush, gorgeous, and full of beauty.

My second favorite Radiohead album after Kid A. While it may be less groundbreaking than a couple of their albums, it has some of their best songwriting in my eyes.

This is my kind of country. Dark and solitary. It avoids the over the top accent issues and the cliche lyricism that a lot of country falls to as well. She has a great voice.
