The xx
I liked the use of ambience and space but it was very lacking in dynamics and excitement.

Alice In Chains
Dark, heavy, badass, angry. I loved AIC and this album as a teenager. Bone crushing guitar work, awesome vocals, really cool use of vocal harmonies to darken the sound even more. Favorite song: Would?

Astor Piazzolla
I was surprisingly blown away by this. I love how it incorporates traditional Italian/Argentinian tango music with the really dramatic classical influence and even some jazz fusion. The dynamics are really engaging and the musicianship/composition is excellent. Totally unlike anything I would have ever come across on my own.

Beatles
It is hard to put this one into words that haven't been said before. Abbey Road is one of my all-time favorite albums. I've probably listened to it hundreds of times. Every song is its own little perfectly crafted masterpiece. The mood of the album is so diverse. You'll find some of the darkest Beatles material (Because, I Want You) as well as some of the most uplifting ones (Here Comes the Sun, Octopus's Garden). The production is completely masterful. Hard to believe they were on the verge of breakup during the whole process. It's my cat Maxwell's favorite as well :)

Manu Chao
Interesting listen, much different from anything I would normally listen to. Not really my thing but I thought some of it was enjoyable. Really impressive that he made the whole album on a laptop in the 90s while traveling the world.
