2023 is basically ending and i dont think theres any upcoming album thats going to absolutely shatter my perception of music (most recent one would be ants from up there my beloved) so i made a chart of all my favorite albums ever forever adn ever but 4x4
so thats that
ALBUMS IN (loose-ish) ORDER
O Terno - Melhor Do Que Parece
Slint - Spiderland
The Mars Volta - Frances The Mute
SWANS - The Seer (!!!!!!!)
Ween - Quebec
The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
Milton Nascimento & Lô Borges - Clube da Esquina
TOOL - Lateralus
Have A Nice Life - Deathconsciousness
Les Rallizes Dénudés - '77 Live
Queens Of The Stone Age - Songs For The Deaf
Dead Kennedys - Plastic Surgery Disasters (And In God We Trust Inc., that one's equally amazing)
lateralus is so funny. the whole album is centered around spiritual themes, and the entire experience is very ethereal, but this is a 2000s metal album so smack dab between the one song that celebrates the holy experience of birth and the other song that revolves around the fucking Fibonacci Sequence is Ticks & Leeches which is just a massive fuck you to their record company. its like your hippie neighbor coming out of his weed shack to beat up a transphobe. i love this album
