| I like good metal, and Between the Buried and Me delivers. |
| Between the Buried and Me The Silent Circus |
| I like good metal, and Between the Buried and Me delivers. |
| Brand New The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me |
| This is inspired music. That's what I love most about Brand New. |
| David Bowie The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust... |
| Fleet Foxes Fleet Foxes |
| Beautiful vocal harmonies are what makes Fleet Foxes something special. It is their signature. Three, four part harmonies really goes well with their folksy guitar approach and slow, soft drums. One almost feels as though one is walking through a wooded meadow at parts. It's like something out of a fairy tale, with a light, almost child-like lyrical approach. |
| Fleet Foxes Helplessness Blues |
| Same great aspects of their first album, only with a more mature sound. |
| Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin IV |
| That one song... you know the one. |
| mewithoutYou Catch For Us The Foxes |
| What I like about mwY is their uniqueness. You have never heard music like theirs before... with that, they're also some of the most well-written songs I have ever heard. Most of my 5s are your Beatles, Zeppelins, Bowies, but mwY is too good to put any lower. |
| Nujabes Metaphorical Music |
| Orbs Asleep Next to Science |
| This is not a fad band like Fear Before. Not to knock Fear Before, they were good at what they did, but this an album for musicians. The vocal stylings are very unique, and the keyboards are out of this world! The drums are very intricate and exact. There is a lot, lyrically, dealing with God and science. A great listen. |
| Pink Floyd Animals |
| Animals is more than meets the ears... it's a commentary on society. Not such a positive commentary, but nonetheless, they discuss different people of society with different animals: pigs, dogs, and sheep. This is one of those albums where it's interesting to read the lyrics as you listen. |
| Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here |
| This one's an obvious classic. |
| Say Anything ...Is a Real Boy |
| This album was written at a strange time in Max Bemis' life. He wasn't very popular yet, which means he didn't have much to prove. This album is one of the most original albums I've ever heard, and I think it's because Bemis made it to please himself. |
| Sufjan Stevens Michigan |
| I am from Michigan, so I might be a little biased. Sufjan basically just wrote a bunch of songs about Michigan. Exactly what it sounds like (Greetings From Michigan! The Great Lake State). Sufjan is an insanely good musician, who knows everything about how music is supposed to operate and sound. His specialty is putting together an array of instrumentation built to blown your mind. |
| The Beatles Abbey Road |
| Another obvious classic. |
| The Beatles The Beatles |
| The Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band |
| Yep. |
| The Beatles Revolver |
| The Dear Hunter Act II: The Meaning of, & All Things Regarding Ms. Leading |
| There's a story behind this album, but it's not what intrigues me the most about The Dear Hunter. What I like the most about Crescenzo's approach is the progressive fashion in which he fashions their songs. He also utilizes a good amount of theory-based music, which always makes me want to listen further. The Meaning of & All Things Regarding Ms. Leading is musically beautiful in all respects: drums are tight, guitars are on point, the bass rocks. I mean, this album is just awesome. |
| The Grateful Dead American Beauty |
| The Jimi Hendrix Experience Are You Experienced? |
| The Mars Volta De-Loused in the Comatorium |
| Drunkship of Lanterns. |
| The Smashing Pumpkins Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness |
| This album is a two-for-one deal of epicness. Artists don't make music like this anymore. |
| The Tallest Man on Earth The Wild Hunt |
| Some call him a Bob Dylan wannabe. I think that's a good thing. While Bob Dylan was great, The Tallest Man on Earth is also great in a very similar way: guitar and voice. His voice is unique, too... which makes it that much more interesting. It's raspy, but he can sing pretty high. He's good live, too. I can dig musicians who really enjoy what they're doing. |
| Weezer The Blue Album |
| There's always been something about this album that has made me feel happy. It's so simple, so to the point. It's funny sometimes, and it's just plain entertaining. The Blue Album is nothing fancy. It's the nothing fancy of music. Just a normal-sounding guy on vocals, normal sort of rock progressions and musical stylings, about normal life. They wrote a bunch of really good songs and put them on an album. Music was simple in the 90s. Weezer represents the utter simplicity that was the 90s. |
