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!)
Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden
Quick listen, just 8 songs and 40 minutes. Has probably my favorite closing song of any album. It’s the album I used to convince my bluegrass and folk-loving dad that metal had more artistry than he was giving it credit for. Bruce Dickinson’s voice is unreal.
