What a gorgeous record.

It's fucking Demon Days, how was this not already in the book?!

One of his more annoying outings.

Blast from the past, but a little too much of the same.

For the first time in 1268 albums I couldn´t finish the album. Fado really isn´t for me..

Absolutely wild that this wasn't on the original list.

I didn't know I needed this.

Truth.

Great, another one of those..

I had no way to listen to it in the intended way, like most people I imagine. In the end I listened to a stereo mix of all the cd's, to get the picture kinda and it sounded a lot like an audio installation you sometimes get at art galleries.

Never heard of her, but I love Sugababes and Kylie Minogue as much as the next millennial girlie. Good pop is good.

These guys might be nice to have playing in the background during a chill summer festival, but to actually listen to it? No thanks.

Blast from the past! I hadn't thought about this band since I was 19 or so. They're still alright :)

With a name like that I guess they were trying to remain obscure?
This was absolutely brilliant from beginning to end.

Everything, everywhere, all at once.

They're still good, but I don't think we need multiple BABYMETAL albums on here.

It is nice to see all these collaborations though, especially with one of my other faves from the list, Electric Callboy 🤘

May your heart be your guiding key 🗝️

This is my pick, and an easy one it was. I wanted to add something from my country (The Netherlands), and preferably something that was also completely in Dutch (which it is, apart from Mike Clark (who is a beatiful human being)).

So, why is this so wonderful? I think a lot of it is the sheer surprise of a solo artist creating this in his attic using kid's toys, out of the blue, and it being such a gorgeous and poetic bundle of songs. We get songs about people, about (boring) places, and also about very real things like losing your memories and about dealing with mental illness and returning to the real world.
A lot of this gets lost if you don't speak the language, and I bet a lot of it would still get lost if you were to translate it to another language. But even then, the creative melodies and diverse arrangements should still be interesting enough to keep you listening.

The biggest music magazine in the Netherlands called it the best Dutch album of the last 25 years in 2025. To me it is the best Dutch album ever.

I can dig it, but not for this long.

Not as bad as I was expecting from the name.
