Yeah, now that's the shit. An absolutely insane omission from the original list - both this, and Lateralus. I'd say this is their best album. Hits the perfect middle ground between the heavier Undertow and the proggier Lateralus. "Third Eye" is the best song they've ever done. That refrain will never not give me chills.
Hello, just arrived in this realm. This is my first user album. I probably won't do the entire thing, but I'm excited to see what interesting stuff got submitted! This was a very fun Latin album. I know next to nothing about this kind of music, but I fuck with it. Insane amount of variety for an hour long album. All that was missing was a random Grindcore song to tie it all nicely together.
Fuckers took a bite of my horse, can't have shit in Detroit. Very, very slow. Not my type of folk.
I really love how insane this album is. Some of it works better, some of it falls completely flat on its face, but the one thing that's consistent, is that you have no clue what the next song is going to be. Gotta be the only album in existence to have both the "Baroque Pop" and the "Hip Hop" tags in its Wikipedia infobox.
It's like a generic 80s synthpop album, but with the twist that the lyrics sound like something you'd find written in a public toilet stall. Just to be clear, that's not a bad thing. It is a bit of a jarring combination though.
I saw the genre name for this was "Neo-Prog". My mind went to stuff like Cardiacs and Black Midi, but all I got was U2. This is one sleigh bell away from being actual Christmas music. Not a fan.

I like post-hardcore, but man, this guy is only capable of yelling in one specific tone and it makes everything blend together so much. Very repetitive and very depressing. Wasn't in the mood for something like this right now. Rarely am. Interesting choice though.
Great choice! Crazy how there are NO Emo/Emo-Pop albums on the original list. Just an entire subgenre (one of the most popular ones of all time) completely ignored because Robert Dimery said that "he doesn't like this kind of music". Weak. The children love it and the children crave more of it. I am the children. This shit rocks. 4/5.
