Very atmospheric album, some great compositions, and also lots of crazy weird stuff. I enjoy the variety while still maintaining a sort of mysterious vibe throughout.

Suicide by Suicide

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill by Lauryn Hill

I gotta admit I had some stereotypical assumptions about how good a "female rapper" could be, and was a bit skeptical. Despite this, I ended up really enjoying this album and was happily proved wrong. It has great lyricism and great musical accompaniment. I love the themes as well. Well done!

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars by David Bowie

Kala by M.I.A.

I gotta give it credit for trying to be unique, but it is grating at times

Love the unpolished gritty sound from early 90s hip hop albums. Plus this is fire and a lot of fun to listen to

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys

Make Yourself by Incubus

I can't tell if these guys are a complete farce or taking themselves way too seriously. Either way, I must admit it is entertaining.

Oh my god I'm a little biased because I already knew of this album, but seriously I love it. The highly emotional vocal performance, the almost classical elements of the compositions, the timeless feel of the lyric content and music, the masterful production. A nearly perfect album that has resonated with me since I first listened to it, no matter what walk of life I'm at.
