| Really Really Good Albums
Here are some of my favorite albums ever, in no particular order. Looking for recs, preferably based off of experience. | | 1 |  | Phoenix
Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
some of the most solid pop I've ever heard, great mix of hooks/variety/emotion | | 2 |  | Daft Punk
Discovery
prob. my favorite album, period, huge fan of sampling, house, funk. love the mood/the flow. unfortunately I've never been able to find anything like this. | | 3 |  | Rustie
Glass Swords
kind of sloppy but otherwise fantastic, love the "future beat/wonky" (or whatever it's called) style. I really like how much variety it has. particularly good: "Flash Back," "Surph," "Ultra Thizz" (Ultra Thizz is probably my fav) | | 4 |  | Jon Hopkins
Immunity
not the biggest fan of the first half (although I can dig "Open Eye Signal") but I love the emotion of the second half. I really like "Immunity" especially. not really sure which album by him to explore next. | | 5 | | Bon Iver
Bon Iver
the emotions/build-ups are incredible. makes life feel, ironically, "magnificent." | | 6 |  | James Blake
James Blake
on the opposite end of stuff like Rustie and Hudson Mohawke I also like stuff like this that's really minimal. love the emotion he shows, not as much the often headache-inducing dubstep throbs. | | 7 |  | TNGHT
TNGHT
weirdly even though this has Hudson Mohawke it's fairly minimal as well, with only a few key elements to each track, which I think makes it way better. love the breakdowns. | | 8 |  | Animal Collective
Merriweather Post Pavilion
love the build-ups, the "trippiness" (not that I know anything about psychedelia, but I do love unexpected/weird changes in music), the hooks. for lack of a better musical vocab this just has really good vibes. | | 9 |  | The Avalanches
Since I Left You
I like the beats/sense of humor and the sampling is absolutely incredible/seamless, but it could use a bit more of a cohesive emotional idea. very good though | | 10 | | Lemaitre
The Friendly Sound EP
recently got back into them. love the mood/the synths. I especially like the sound of "Blue Shift" (kind of feels like a better "Eple" to me) | |

12.08.14 | so yeah if anyone has any recs based off this I would absolutely love them | RonnieRadke
12.08.14 | I'm sorry sir it appears you are....
Musically Challenged.

12.08.14 | i leik n1n3 a lot, guud beatz | Brostep
12.09.14 | hellz yeah 3 and 7 bang | TwigTW
12.09.14 | might like King Creosote and John Hopkins - Diamond Mine | ArsMoriendi
12.09.14 | 9 rules.
Uh, try Foster the People - Supermodel? | Cygnatti
12.09.14 | "not the biggest fan of the first half (although I can dig "Open Eye Signal") but I love the emotion of the second half. I really like "Immunity" especially. not really sure which album by him to explore next."
but the opener is like the best song on the album | RonnieRadke
12.09.14 | don't listen to foster the people they blow[2] | granitenotebook
12.09.14 | I'll check Diamond Mine, thanks. and I guess I could give Supermodel a shot, I thought their debut was decent purely as a collection of singles.
"but the opener is like the best song on the album"
I get where you're coming from but the other stuff just connects with me so much more emotionally that it's not even a contest, even if its not as musically varied/technically impressive | IronGiant
12.09.14 | 9s "cohesive emotional idea" is perpetual fun. read my review if you want/need a better understanding | Clumseee
12.09.14 | There Will Be Fireworks - The Dark, Dark Bright |
