What albums do you keep going back to?

Submitted by Jon-G1508 t3_yb61n6 in Music

After weeks, months or even years, what album do you find yourself going back to listen to

Off the top of my head, these are mine

Brace - Birds of Tokyo (2015)..... The 2nd Law - Muse (2012)..... Sights & Sounds - More Than Lights (2012)..... Cosmic Egg - Wolfmother (2009)..... And when the mood calls for it... Nymphetamine - Cradle of Filth (2004)

Talking Heads - Remain in Light (1980)

The rhythms on this album are just amazing.

Yoshimi is an epic album. I still remember the first time I heard it.

Same my friend! The album creates a memory. Funny thing is I had never heard a flaming lips album before, this was my first. Unfortunately they’ve never come close to touching this album.

Two From the Vault for me.

A friend introduced it to me in high school and it blew me away, it was the first time I “got” the dead and became a huge fan from there.

I’ve bought the album multiple times through the years and still listen to it often.

megacrashed t1_itgh4om wrote

To me Hell Awaits wasn’t as good as Show No Mercy but you could hear the changes that would lead to the greatest speed metal album ever wrote in Reign In Blood. 1986 was epic. Everyone wanted the production that Metallica pioneered with Ride the Lightening.

I just keep listening to The Commitments soundtrack, and always go back to Paolo Nutini’s first album. There’s something about that Blue Eyed Soul sound that’s addictive to me

Jon-G1508 OP t1_itewnn9 wrote

Oo sounds intriguing, is The Commitments a movie soundtrack?

2

Bishop503305 t1_iteyap6 wrote

Yeah, it’s a soundtrack from a 1991 movie about a fictional Irish soul band and is fucking amazing. Apple Music will have the double album, totally great if you’re into that kind of style and the movie is a bit harder to find but it’s out there if you look around. Also, the lead male singer in the band was only 16 when the recoded the album, unbelievable voice for a teenager

Tool is magical, but not for everyone. MMJ and beach house are more on the chiller side. I recommend starting with Z if you give MMJ a go, that’s my favorite of theirs. Particularly Lay Low.

I'm curious to hear about albums released in the last 5 years or so. All my favorites are from classic rock, alt and grunge era and it seems like newer music is singles-oriented rather than album.

Is there a recent album that rivals Dark Side of the Moon, Rumours or Nevermind?

Opeth - Blackwater Park. Fantastic album which broadened my horizons and helped appreciate more "extreme" music (for me at the time). I love going back to it regularly.

The Distillers - Coral Fang

Blood Command - Cult Drug

The Good The Bad & The Zugly - Algorithm Blues

These three are all 100% pure bangers. My adrenaline shots whenever I need it.

Anathema - The Optimist. Oh boy, this one has an extra layer of emotional baggage attached to it. It's the direct sequel to their album "A Fine Day to Exit", which i discovered in my early 20's. Fast forward 10 years or so later and I'm listening to what would be the very last Anathema album (they broke up shortly after). It makes me ponder what happened in between (the tragically common break up with what I thought was the love of my life and rebuilding myself from scratch), truly the "end of an era" feeling distilled in one album. 10/10, perfect for making me sad.
