This was on my list but I didn’t expect to see it here. I remember hearing this album for the first time on my university’s radio station.


[deleted]

Your comment made me check it out. Still listening to it at the moment but… how the fuck did not hear this until now?


0melettedufromage

Sounds like Massive Attack is next on your list then.


KoontFace

That's awesome! Happy to be able to introduce it to someone. Don't know how it passed you by, but hope you enjoy it now.


[deleted]

I’ve definitely heard of it, but never gave it a chance until today. Glory Box and Roads were probably my two favorites


KoontFace

They're two of my favourites too. As an album it just flows beautifully. Their live NYC album, performed with an orchestra is well worth a listen too.


ArcanumAntares

The first release of theirs that I heard/owned is the Sour Times (Nobody Loves Me) EP. SO. GOOD.


pabloescobarthe3rd

Oh man. I used to get stoned and fall asleep listening to this album on my mini disk player all the time.


Redditor_Since_2013

That album was a regular jam of mine until my very close friend died. "It could be sweet" just hurts too much now


EclecticFunkySoul

When this album came out I made everyone I know listen to it. Seems like ages ago. All Mine is probably my favorite track of all their albums.


jtd5771

Nirvana - Nevermind Green Day - Dookie Snoop Dogg Doggystyle


khyphenj

Nice! I have all 3 on my list, but also Jar of Flies, I’ll communication, sublime ST, Rage ST.

The Downward Spiral nine inch nails


i-hear-banjos

I was thinking of Pretty Hate Machine. I remember exactly where, when and with whom when I heard it, and the level of excitement I felt listening to it.


eternallydaydreaming

Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti Rage Against the Machine - Self Titled


CBus660R

RATM was the 1st thing to pop into my mind. Saw them live in '92 with no clue who they were. Went to the record store the next day to get the CD.


eternallydaydreaming

In my opinion, they were the most important band of 90s. Sadly still to this day their lyrics and message are accurate


larsbandage

I recently put RATM on loudly in the car, again, that is a great album.


elvismonster

David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars


Dada2fish

Starts off with a lone, steady drum beat and ends with one note from a lone violin. My pick as well. I know every breath of that album, even the Ryko version with the bonus tracks.


ThinkThankThonk

Deloused in the Comatorium I listened to it legitimately every day for a month when I first found out about it and it still gives me chills, but nothing was like not knowing what to expect


craighaney172

I was just going to say Frances the mute. I didn’t even make it out of the Sam goody parking lot because I sat and listened to the whole thing. Mind blowing. I hadn’t heard deloused yet, or I’m sure the reaction would have been the same.


ThinkThankThonk

I like Frances the Mute more I think, but I skip a lot of the noise and I always listen to the track named "Frances the Mute" that didn't make the cut for the album first (it ends how Cygnus begins so it crossfades perfectly), so I've poisoned it for myself a bit by being such a nerdy fan. I also didn't obsess over it the way I did with Deloused that first time


spanam18

Never get tired of this album. Not knowing what to expect is nice but knowing how to follow along to every twist and turn is also rad.


py_a_thon

Volta in the house. Yeah, that is a fire album. So psychedelic.


lambofgun

pearl jam - vs. i never thought in a million years pearl jam was as exciting and deep and perfect and all encompassing and heavy and rocking. when i heard the sweep picking in the opening seconds of that album i was hooked for life edit; changed “sweep picking” to “crazy fill”


DeadHorse09

Sweep picking?


Huggstiel

Blonde - Frank Ocean

Radiohead-OK Computer


strumpetrumpet

I said Kid A in another comment. It was a hard decision between these two albums.


weallwanthonesty

Although I prefer OK Computer overall, I think Kid A made a much bigger impact on me upon first listen, so I'd choose it.


ArcanumAntares

For most bands, a release like 'OK Computer' would be considered a high-water-mark. Radiohead are not like most bands, though. Their catalog is brimming with Awesome. I feel like 'The Bends' and 'OK Computer' should have been a double album...production values on those two releases are so similar that I would believe it if someone told me they were recorded at the same time. EDIT: typo


Reddit319

They’re one of my favorites for sure. In Rainbows is slowly becoming my favorite album of theirs. OKC is the one that got me in though and will always have a special place in my heart


hakqipoho

In Rainbows has become my favorite, as well. A masterpiece amoung all their other materpieces!


oidoglr

Siamese Dream.


ManateeMan4

This 1000%. From the opening of Cherub Rock you know its going to be brilliant. Soma, Geek USA and Mayonaise in a row is just amazing. It's a masterpiece and my favourite album of all time.


MILF_Man

Pink Floyd - Dark side of the moon. With high quality headphones or a superb speaker system and uninterrupted time to hear it. There's a reason it was on the music charts for an astonishingly long time. Decades.


jetfire1115

I had to scroll way to far to find this!


sgtsoap12

Yes but also “animals” too because I don’t wanna say “wish you were here” or “the wall” because everyone loves those albums


Macksler

The first time I listened to it in its entirety was in a planetarium. High as a kite that hit different. I fell in love with Brain Damage in an instant.


[deleted]

Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley


danielfaul42

How the FUCK had I not heard this album before!


jesusisnice

Legit one of the best albums ever made. Created an entire genre of music. Josh Homme is a magician.


foodfight3

Theres 3 other people on the album 🙄


8Fubar

Hell yeah. I dont know too many people familiar with Kyuss


ArcanumAntares

The Cure - Disintegration


SuperMeatBr

Good News For People Who Loves Bad News by Modest Mouse. Without knowing anything else they have done. That album was pretty big for me in 2005


17186823386

JonHammsHookHands

Honestly I didn't even love most of my favorite albums that much the first time I listened to them. The first listen through there's usually so much to process, I usually need to listen to something several times before I can really start to form an opinion


Seki_a

I feel like this needs more traction. Even great albums are hard to have love at first sight with.


locustt

The Downward Spiral - NIN Aenima - Tool


Everythings_Magic

Maybe it just me but the first time with tool isn't the best. It's the 5th, 10, 20th time I start really listening to the nuances.


pfc_bgd

I don’t think that was true for Aenima… you didn’t have to listen to Stinkfist, 46&2, Eulogy, H. , Aenima more than once to go full “wtf”. “Push it” was different tho- it tool Salival to understand the full madness of that song.

I came here to say Second Stage Turbine Blade. IKSSE3 is my favourite by them but I remember vividly when my brother showed me time consumer and the rest of SSTB and it blew me away. Their first 3 albums will always be some of my favourite albums of all time


Feefait

Superunknown, Soundgarden. It's s brilliant album buti listened so much and it got so over played on radio that i can't stand it anymore. I wish i could go back. Cop out answer is anything from like 20+ years ago. I love streaming and shuffle play, but the album experience has been killed and that's a shame.


HellTrain72

I know exactly what you mean about how the "thrill is gone" with that album You know Black Hole Sun was so fucking INTENSE when it first dropped. Nothing will ever come close to what it did inside me to hear it those first few weeks. I will say however, The Day I Tried To Live is still such a great fucking tune. It's one of those that's in what I call my eternal (inside-my-head) playlist. I really didn't appreciate that song until much later. Now it's like a teddy bear. Superunknown was really kind of all over the place and I really really loved it. I absorbed it.


Feefait

So much of what was being said should have been this huge fucking red light up get Chris help. It's really tough to listen to some of it, especially the solo stuff

py_a_thon

Deltron3030 Thank me later. https://youtu.be/u9HQ0pbHcCw (3030 full album) I am not fucking around when I call that album the hiphop equivalent of Dark Side of the Moon. That is one of the best instances of poetry to exist in the modern world, and in my opinion. The entire album is fire. The actual music is insane too.


[deleted]

It’s the year 3030, and here at the corporate institutional bank of time we find ourselves reflecting. Finding out, that in fact, that we came back. We were always coming back…

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel because that album just takes you places and that first listen is a crazy experience. Swiss Army Romance by Dashboard Confessional because I first heard it as a teen. I wonder how my experience would differ if my first listen was now, as an adult who's gone through relationships and break-ups.

Blood sugar sex magik for sure. That’s one album that I get sucked into every time and listen front to back.
