What Album Changed your Life?

[Jaqen Hghar]

Ænima by Tool. I hadn't really listened to much music before I borrowed that album from a friend. Now I am a passionate listener to music. That album made me that way.
And Frances the Mute by The Mars Volta. Just because it is mindblowingly brilliant.

master of puppets. my first full album by metallica. i now buy by albums when it comes to metallica

Master of puppets, I always listen it before doing a test, gets me in the mood to kill.
or do a test, whatever.

 

[AizenTheAzure]

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel
Doppelganger - The Fall of Troy

Both changed my entire perspective on music.

I don't mean to be that guy, but there is no way an album can change someone's life. Sure a single album can change your perspective on music and possibly even set your path in terms of playing in a band, but I doubt listening to an album will dramatically chagce your life.

Sadly I can't make a pic, too many that had some sort of influence on me.

Forty Licks by Rolling Stones. Yes, I know its a best of. Sometimes you need a survey of the best available to drag you out of your shell and start realizing its not that you dislike music, its that you dislike the music of you generation because you are a counter-culture snob and an artistic snob.

Album ''system of a down'' by system of a down.

Definitely "In Utero" by Nirvana - I remember I wanted to buy Nevermind, but the record store didn't have it, so I got In Utero instead. I have never been so profoundly moved by an album - the sheer visceral energy and emotion contained in Cobain's songwriting was like nothing I'd ever heard before. It was that album that got me playing guitar, and my love for Nirvana led me to discover so much awesome music. Music is a very important part of my life, and I have "In Utero" to thank for that.

I have a good feeling that every single musician EVER would strongly disagree with you.

Rust In Peace.

That bad huh?

Rust In Peace.

That bad huh?

No, at the time all my friends were listening to Music like fuckin' slipknot and KoRn. And when I heard Rust in Peace by Megadeth I realised what true, technical and amazing music/metal is.
Since then I have been a die hard Megadeth fan.

 

[Sebobii]

Kezia most definitely.

Oh dude, those kids are just insane. Weren't they like 16-17 when they released Kezia? Didn't really change my life, but that was one sweet album

 

[newfoundland]

Oh maybe I get it R.I.P. , no I'm just a sentimental piece of work = tired of life.lol

Why exactly? One album can't change your life, and it certaintly didn't do it to musicians. Was one album all it took for Yngwie Malmsteen to become the guitar prodigy he is? No it occured because one of his idols died. My point is that albums merely set your musical identity or direction, but they don't actually cnange your life. It takes several bits of music to significantly make a difference. For me, I listened to several bands and albums that established my music identity, it wasn't one album, that is impossible. I've never heard of anyone who listened to one album and completely changed their retrospectives on music either.

Props man, real metal FTW.

Rage Against The Machine's first album, the politics, the anger, the guitars, the bass, the lyrics. First album I had that you could feel changing you as you listened.
