Since I discovered how many full albums are actually on Youtube, I figured I'd share a few of my favorites. Also, I'd love to hear others' favorites and talk about/discuss what we liked about the other peoples choices. The criteria: The album has to be something you love from beginning to end. You couldn't imagine skipping a track, and you love the cohesive whole. If there's no Youtube, feel free to share it in text anyway. I'm looking to broaden my horizons and will search out things I see. With that said, here's what I got.
My introduction to music outside of the radio/MTV. Still my favorite DEP album. Extremely technical with a jazz influence. Play it at my damned funeral if you find me dead.
Devin Townsend just has an energy that I haven't seen elsewhere. It's like Fear Factory decided to throw out the rulebook and push their work to its logical extreme. Give it a couple minutes, at least. He has solo work that is lighter and covers more genres, but I don't love it as much.
The Locust are from another planet. Seriously. They came to earth to show off the musical power of Martians, and nobody is listening.
Yes, drastically different from the last few. I listen to this album all the time, and it always calms me right down.
I usually listen to this when I go to bed, or to aid in meditation. I consider this album his masterpiece.
There are Pink Floyd songs I like much more from other albums, but this is the only one I enjoy as a complete whole. Yes, more than The Wall.
I couldn't find an Elliott Smith album, but every single one of them would count if I could. He's my favorite musician in the history of human civilization.
Have fun sharing your favorites, and maybe let me know if you found new music thanks to me? That always feels good. I'll be happy to do the same. I love when an entire album is an experience, not just a few songs off of them.
