I’m going to listen to the top 3 upvoted albums and give you my honest unfiltered thoughts.
Please explain what makes the album special to you. For context, lyrics are very important to me, so I gravitate to music with good storytelling.
Alright! Results are in. I’ll be listening to:
- Lateralus - Tool
- To Pimp a Butterfly - Kendrick Lamar
- Pink Moon - Nick Drake
- Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness - The Smashing Pumpkins
(I know I said 3, but I couldn’t resist!)
Oh interesting, I really like the new album! It’s a bit all over the place, not having the same sonic through line that The Stage has. After I got over the initial “what the heck is going on NOW” about every 3 minutes, I was on board for the rollercoaster ride. That rollercoaster ride has gotten better and better for me as I listen to it more and more.
To be fair, I’ve only listened to it once. I had the same what the hell is going on feeling and never gave it another shot. Maybe I’ll have to try again.
