Have you ever had a near-religious experience listening to an album. A moment of pure bliss, or a moment of perfect realization. Something that granted a temporary ascension beyond what you thought you could be.

What was the Album and did it affect you afterwards?

Oh, I've had many orgasmically cosmic-spiritual experiences with music. But for me it seems less about the actual album/band and more about how much yesca I've inhaled before putting on the headphones. Because you gotta use the cans for full immersion.

I went to a Sum 41 concert where we were very close to the stage in an intimate venue. I have never felt that connected to music ever in my life. It was unreal.

Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge by MCR ik it’s stereotypical but like i have never ever connected to music on such a personal level like i cried so hard when i first listened to it because i just felt like it understood me

Black Parade was a similar experience for. I remember vividly never being as emotionally invested as something by the time the track Mama roller around

MCR is incredibly powerful. Three cheers is solid

The Archie’s Greatest Hits, especially the extended version of Sugar, Sugar had such a profound semi-religious affect on my soul so much so I had to undergo expensive therapy. Part of the recovery was listening to George Harrison’s “All Things Must Pass.”

I'd place it firmly in the camp of not for me. You greatly made an extremely uneasy atmosphere, and while I think its well done, it's not something for me, but there is an audience out there so good job
