Jagged Little Pill
Alanis Morissette
Strong songwriting, raw vocals, and edgier lyrics than I remember from the trimmed clean segments that would often end up in every film and TV show of the 90s-2000s.

The album is continuously full of surprises, but loses cohesion and direction as a result. Discovering J. Dilla's Workinonit sample was a great surprise, and "The Worst Band in the World" is probably the highlight record off the album in being exciting. Latter half of the album loses some steam.

OutKast
Very experimental and ahead of their time. Long before Kendrick Lamar or Tyler the Creator or anyone was making 'jazzier' hip hop albums, OutKast was going full into some very experimental territories for a hip hop album. I can hear clear inspirations from the likes of Bootsie Collins and Parliament Funkadelic on this.
Most will know tracks like So Fresh and So Clean, Ms. Jackson, and B.O.B, but the deeper cuts on this record go into vastly different directions in production and style. Unfortunately, I think some of these ideas did not age well, potentially as a result of the limitations of what they had to work with.
Snappin & Trappin and We Luv Deez Hoez are songs for example that sound like Animal Crossing K.K. Slider beats. Some of the sound selection is a bit funny in retrospect.
Gasoline Dreams, Spaghetti Junction, and Humble Mumble are all great tracks that were likely overlooked by the larger hits of this album.

Some of the reggae/ska moments are chill and groovy, but then it hits moments where it feels like it's Happy Birthday To You level music.

Incredible display of production techniques from live recordings, and sampling to electronic sounds, especially for the 70s. The genre blending was really exciting. Persian Love had me feeling like Jimmy Buffett was Under the Sea off the coasts of India.
While I overall wished for a little more cohesion across the entire album and am not the biggest fan of 15 minute songs, the musicality is top notch and it's full of surprises in being able to transition from moment to moment seamlessly. Even if it feels like it doesn't fully land anywhere, the ride was enjoyable throughout.
One of the more exciting discoveries of this list so far.

Unfortunately one of the less exciting Beatles albums out there to me regarding recording techniques and experimentation, aside from unconventional hard panning of vocals and drums in the stereo field (although summing very well to mono). It does make for a more interesting headphone/stereo listening experience. Eleanor Rigby is the standout above the rest.
