What Album Changed your Life?

[Ryuk2]

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

Same here. System of a Down's self-titled album is the best album ever made in my opinion. It's the reason I'm wearing a System of a Down shirt right now. All those years ago, and I still have never found another collection of such diverse and unique songs that are ALL awesome. Except maybe Toxicity, but the self-titled album is still better.

I call it because it was the first one i heard from them. It has my favorite song of all times and some not so good, but other albums had great songs and some normal songs. I can't tell which one is better, they are all very different and good in their own ways.

System of a downs Toxicity got me into nu-metal and the metal scene in general Sacred reichs Ignorance (my avatar) inspired me to dig deeper

We Are The Union, Who We Are

A rather unknown band, but with great lyrics. It's also a great mix of Pop Punk, Ska, and hardcore to sound like nothing else out there now. Seeing them live changed me...literally.

 

[IssacClarke88]

Bullet in a Bible by Green Day...Blew my mind

 

[Mozared]

I would have to mention Ayreon's "The Human Equation". Good god that album's brilliant.

 

[Valiance]

Downward Spiral will do that to you, yeah...
Really makes you look at things differently. So does The Fragile.

But I'll sadly have to go with Dark Side of the Moon here. I mean, I know everyone will, but it has quite a few incredible, timeless, universal songs.

Velvet Underground and Nico. Probably would be recognized as one of, if not the greatest album of all time if it was as popular among fans in the 60's as it was among the many bands it inspired through the next few decades.

the way of all flesh by gojira

 

[rabidmidget]

Probably Weezer's debut album as that started my downward slope into alternative and indie rock.

It was my first album from an English-speaking band (the only band I used to listen to was Rammstein, lol). It trained me on heavy music and paved the road for my entrance into the land of heavy metal.

 

[G1eet]

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

Yea, they formed PtH when they were 12ish in '99, and Kezia came out in '04... That sounds about right.

Sick of it All - Built to Last

 

[couldn'tthinkofaname]

who's next
epic album

 

[Travdelosmuertos]

The band Anti-Flag in general has, but I guess the album that most influenced my life was Toxicity by System of a Down and Hendrix Experience by Jimi Hendrix because those are the first two albums I ever listened to, and they made me want to play guitar. All of Anti-Flags albums, in coordination with other bands I listen to, have influenced my politics and my musical style

Fuck Anti-Flag, I live in the same neighborhood as those pricks. Their drummer can be seen outside the Squirrel Hill Giant Eagle (I see you, you sneaky, pervy fuck!) making Pat Thetic attempts (see what I did there?) hitting on any unfortunate punk looking girl that walks by. Justin Sane talks all this anti-corporation shit on stage but there are pictures of him coming out of a Starbucks. Plus, they talk about hating the rich but live in one of the wealthier neighborhoods in Pittsburgh. Glad Andy Flag had the good sense to leave those stupid fucks. The rest of the world doesn't get the same view of them that Pittsburghers do, so I'm not faulting you in any way for enjoying them, just know that they are fuckin' hypocrites. I haven't even seen one of those dudes at a punk show in 7+ years and I go to at least 2-3 a month.

the way of all flesh by gojira

I have a lot of love for this band. They're definitely weird but they do weird well.

 

[IntangibleMango]

Definitely "In Utero" by Nirvana...

Yes, yes! Oh a million times yes!

 

[A random person]

Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits. I'm so hardcore.

That, or a They Might Be Giants album (forgot which one). It got me into the wonderful world of quirky alternative rock.

 

[TheDustyBanana]

The White Album by the Beatles. Before that album I didn't really listen to music all that much. Listening to that album blew mind and I wasn't even on drugs.
