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

    Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

    I don’t even know where to start with this album.

    The softer songs make heavy use of orchestral instruments. The strings add so much depth to all the tracks that feature them and make it seem like some classical soundtrack. Tonight Tonight and Galapagos are examples.

    It also has some of their best heavy songs like Zero, Bullet With Butterfly Wings and Jellybelly.

    There’s definitely something for everyone on this album. Would definitely recommend you listen to Zero, 1979 and Tonight Tonight for an idea of the sounds. If you can get used to Corgans vocals you should love it.

    The Album art itself is also fantastic.
