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!)

  • Good Kid, maad City by Kendrick Lamar. It’s a concept album that tells a non-linear coming of age story. It’s a nice throwback to 90s west coast hip hop and the message behind the concept is powerful and relatable to anyone who has ever lived in low income neighbourhoods. Pretty much every thing this man has made is gold but GKMC is the one that impacted me most.
