What albums do yall listen to from beginning to end? There are plenty of artists and bands that I like with great songs but sometimes the album has filler in between the main tracks. Which albums do you feel like have little to no filler? I’d put up Chief Keef’s Finally Rich (debut album) Licensed To Ill by the Beastie Boys, maybe Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band by Beatles, Curtis (1970) by Curtis Mayfield and Cuba Libre by Carlos Puebla. What are your favorites?

Lately I've been really into PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation and Fishing for Fishies by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. I have listened both like more than 30 times already.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I am going to see them live tomorrow!!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

its quickly becoming a favorite, but king gizzard's new album petrodragonic apocalypse definitely ranks up there. overall favorite albums are probably human by death, shed by title fight, or fear of music by talking heads. all of kraftwerk's albums are also pretty close to favorites, especially "the mix", a re-recording of all their hits where they somehow take their masterpieces and make them even better. i own the mix on tape and listen to it almost every day lol

I've been listening to 2000s electronic lately, mostly Boards of Canada's "Geogaddi" and "Campfire Headphase" and sometimes The Unicorns' "Who Will Cut Our Hair"

Edit: I don't know how I forgot this, but "The Fire This Time" is an audio documentary about the us intervention in the Middle East that fans of IDM should definitely listen to.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Love Geogaddi.

Any album by La Dispute's Rooms of the House on back will pretty much never get a skip from me. Anti-Flag is also essentially my living anthem in band form.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can confirm Anti-Flag is based

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Absolutely. It's my go-to protest punk band. I was watching some live footage and I really wanna see them perform at some point.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

YES ANOTHER LA DISPUTE ENJOYER

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Every time I listen to them, it makes me want to write poetry and scream lol. I do need to give Panorama another listen tho.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Same. I use to write poetry prolifically, working on starting that again. Also working on making music -- I love to scream!

There's a creative writing community here if you ever feel inclined to share!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

also also: I really recommend listening to Panorama with headphones or earbuds if you have them. A big criticism is that the mixing is shit and you can barely hear the vocals, but using my raycons that was rendered a complete non-issue.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I might do the headphone treatment today. I was listening to it yesterday in the car just because and my car speakers leave a lot to be desired.

I haven't creatively written in a long time but I can sub to that comm. I wanna start writing light theory related stuff right now but don't have the time. Maybe fiction short stories with socialist overtones might be fun.

Slowdive self-titled is perfect. Isaiah Rashad's Cilvia Demo. OM's Conference of the Birds.

I can sing every word of Songs: Ohia - Magnolia Electric Company. If you think you're not into country, give that album a listen.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Rashad is so fucking it. Ill give Ohia a try

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Achievement by PilotRedSun

His music channel though is PilotRedSky so it's interesting that he put Achievement on his animation channel. He's more active musically nowadays.

Dethalbum IV, I've been waiting for this for too long

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Lately, I’ve been listening to Ghost’s “Impera”. The front half is better, but the second half is still quite solid.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

can't skip any single song in: Chief Keef - Almighty So, Dream Theater - When Dream And Day Unite, Music From Saharan Cellphones vol 2.

My ranking can be fickle sometimes, but my top 15 roughly stays the same

I slept hard on JESUS IS KING for, perhaps, some obvious reasons, but I heard it at work and its actually so good, some wince parts nonwithstanding but that's life.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Great list btw, Kendrick is a legend. I was a huge Kanye fan when I was younger and sorta listened to him less and less after his Trump turn, I completely skipped Jesus Is King bc it seemed like he was focusing too much on religion, I miss his old stuff, like anything from Life of Pablo all the way back to when he performed in ‘03 on Chappelle’s Show, but Donda had some amazing tracks here and there

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Pink Floyd's Animals, maybe Iron Butterfly's Inagadadavida, I like the B side songs.

The Battle of Los Angeles, Rage against the Machine. In a similar vein I'm pretty sure Zack De la Rocha is the only private citizen to successfully escape capitalism and become a comrade.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It's pretty niche, but I can't stop listening to Satellite High's "Sharks!". I also tend listen a lot to the whole Blood on the Dance Floor Michael Jackson album, even if I find some songs (and specially lyrics) not that good.

Listening to full albums is my preferred format, so I pretty much listen to anything to the end, other than a new album that I find myself disliking. But these are a few that I've listened to many times and that I also feel like tremendously benefit from the full album experience:
Down Colorful Hill by Red House Painters
This is a Long Drive by Modest Mouse
Hissing Fauna by Of Montreal

I don't listen to albums from beginning to end

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

To each their own, but I can agree that plenty of albums have filler to make the album longer and sometimes you don’t have time for a whole album, that’s usually the case for me
