AnotherBrick: What Is Your Favorite Album And Why?

AnotherBrick 06.15.10	Sputnik Essentials. Part III is coming soon.
Counterfeit 06.15.10	Deftones- White Pony Atmospheric and incredibly emotional. That's why.
eternium 06.15.10	Not sure which is my favorite. Downward Spiral, Jane Doe, and White Pony are the main contenders.
therayder 06.15.10	OK Computer because OK Computer
MaynardJamesKeenan 06.15.10	lateralus because i can listen to it whenever i want and still not get bored
AnotherBrick 06.15.10	oh right, nice description rayder
Tulannical 06.15.10	i agree with therayder
Counterfeit 06.15.10	Tool is too pretentious for you MJK.
vanderb0b 06.15.10	Nick Drake-Five Leaves Left Death-Symbolic Jethro Tull-Thick As A Brick Can't pick one.
therayder 06.15.10	But really, OK Computer is just awesome
ShadowAmI 06.15.10	either Amnesiac by Radiohead, or Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins.
TrentReznor 06.15.10	The Downward Spiral.... needs no explanation
PayneTiger777 06.15.10	Converge-Jane Doe, because I want to be cool like everyone else on sputnik. J/k- It's Sevendust-Animosity because it was the album that basically got me into music.
Yotimi 06.15.10	Boards of Canada - Music Has the Right to Children Only album that alters my state of mind, puts false memories into my brain, and has Roygbiv the greatest song ever
Yotimi 06.15.10	Both 5s for me
coneren 06.15.10	Alice in Chains-Dirt because it's amazing
taroo 06.15.10	Team Shanghai Alice - Changeability of Strange Dream Could write a whole paragraph on why... but I rather not.
AnotherBrick 06.15.10	you should write that paragraph. i was more interested in reading why those albums were your guys favorites, but no one is really doing that part
Enotron 06.15.10	Feels cuz I'm down with that shit. But yeah I have a list just like this, you can find a lot of users' favorite albums on that.
XulOnerom 06.15.10	Carcass - Heartwork Because not even God could make an album better than that one
slaythesocialists 06.15.10	The Devil and God are Raging Inside of Me by Brand New. No question.
AngelofDeath 06.15.10	Opeth - Ghost Reveries Cuz it take chances with the beautiful formula of Blackwater Park and succeeds in every possible way. It's so diverse and yet so cohesive.
vanderb0b 06.15.10	Here's my explanations: Five Leaves Left contains some of the most beautiful melodies ever written, and Nick Drake's vocal performance is incredibly emotive. Also, the lyrics are heartfelt. Whenever I feel depressed, I listen to this. Symbolic-The pinnacle of metal, imo. The perfect mix of brutality and melody. The riffs manage to be heavy as hell, and yet aren't mindless chug. Every riff, every vocal line, every solo is memorable. This album had the greatest influence on me as a guitarist. Thick As A Brick-It makes 40 minutes feel like 5. So many fantastic melodies. Also, I'd like to add Vladimir Horowitz-Horowitz: Favorite Chopin. Without Horowitz's influence, I would be nowhere as a pianist. Absolutely nowhere.
couldwinarabbit 06.15.10	Radiohead- Amnesiac The album is so diverse. It is impersonal and incredibly intimate. I'll admit not all the songs are up to Radiohead standard, in fact the first half could be called weak. However the second half has three of the greatest songs of the modern era. "Dollars in Cents" is so biting, politically driven but not pushing. "Like Spinning Plates" is so clever so fresh so different from any song I have ever heard before. Then finally the album closes with "Life In a Glasshouse" which is without question the greatest song of all time. No song is more emotional. The lyrics are bitterly clever full of dry humour and lines that are so passionate yet so cold. On top of this is one of the best horn sections (maybe not technically but emotionally) I have ever heard. This album is not Kid A it is Kid A's more chaotic, irrational brother. It is not the perfect album its predecessor was. It is flawed, sharp, choppy. But it through these errors in which it becomes a masterpiece. Kid A was made in heaven, Amnesiac was made on Earth and those imperfections make it the better than perfection. @Yotimi good call on BoC- Music...Children though.
eternium 06.15.10	You're basically asking for people to write soundoffs for their favorite albums.
taroo 06.15.10	You've convinced me... CoSD is the best thing ZUN (the sole member of TSA) ever done, musically... some may argue that it was Magical Astronomy, but I say they are wrong. CoSD has perfect blend of excellent remakes of ZUN's original masterpieces from the Touhou Project video game series and new song to the album. In these songs includes ZUN's own theme song, he made for himself, "Kid's Festival ~ Innocent Treasure" which as a perfect start for a perfect album. Also among the album is an excellent remake of "Doll Judgment ~ The Girl Who Played With People's Shapes" from Touhou 7: Perfect Cherry Blossom, and "Night Falls ~ Evening Star" from Touhou 7.5 Immaterial and Missing Power, as well as other remakes and great first time tracks. It overall has a somewhat "Dreamish" feel it, which goes along with the story of the album, which is about a girl's dreams.
Apollo 06.15.10	Deftones - Saturday Night Wrist
Athom 06.15.10	Transatlanticism. why? see review.
AnotherBrick 06.15.10	and whats wrong with that eternium?
Yazz_Flute 06.15.10	Blackwater Park because fucking Blackwater Park Fuck
Romulus 06.15.10	Angel Dust with redsky's explanation
Greggers 06.15.10	Ten by Pearl Jam; it's incredibly emotional and personal to me in so many ways. It's always 'been there' for me, in a sense. The musicianship is incredible and Eddie Vedder's vocals are superb all the way through. It's just...perfect.
eternium 06.15.10	I didn't say there was anything wrong with it. I've been wanting to write a review for my 5's, but most of them either already have way too many reviews already or one especially amazing review that I can't possibly match (mainly TDS).
Disconnected 06.15.10	Mono - Hymn to the Immortal Wind It embraces the distorted guitar sound and mixes in quiet-loud transitions in the middle of the epic, lengthy tracks. It's sort of like a mixture of Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Mogwai, except that it's better than anything either band ever released. Also, hearing most of it live has built my respect for it.
Dre 06.15.10	Frances the Mute - It's catchy, long and jams like a motherfucker. PROGMASTER Opeth - Still Life because its fucking Still Life Weezer - Pinkerton Rolling Stone hated it.
AnotherBrick 06.15.10	you should write it anyways eternium. whenever i start reviewing i'm going to review Wish You Were Here. it obviously has enough reviews and i know it will pry be the worst review
Relinquished 06.15.10	Cult of Luna's Salvation the emotion and deep connection I built up with it in the past 3 years made me realize that I want one of those songs to be my funeral song.
couldwinarabbit 06.15.10	@someguest staff also told you El Cielo was in the top 10
AnotherBrick 06.15.10	but El Cielo is actually good
thebhoy 06.15.10	Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over the Sea cause I'm gay
Jethro42 06.15.10	I own 'Wish You Were Here' since late 70's Wish You Were There. Mayan Factor came to my life lately. I like it a lot. I think this band has potential for getting timeless, them too.
SpottedTrout 06.15.10	Deloused in the Comatorium- because im not cool enough for Frances the Mute
couldwinarabbit 06.15.10	@thebhoy It makes us all a little gay. I listened to it the other day for the first time in months. It was as fresh, fun and almosting making me cry as it has ever been.
Ire 06.15.10	"Deloused in the Comatorium- because im not cool enough for Frances the Mute" I like your honesty, boy. Have a Dre point
PearlDrummer20 06.15.10	Alice In Chains- Dirt Foo Fighters- The Colour And The Shape Red Hot Chili Peppers -Blood Sugar Sex Magik I can't pick one.
eternium 06.15.10	But Dirt is so much better than those other two..
PearlDrummer20 06.15.10	I grew up with the latter 2 so it's more personal.
Yazz_Flute 06.15.10	BSSM > Dirt
PearlDrummer20 06.15.10	Oh sheesh yall I forgot my reasons Dirt because of it's perfect blend of grunge and metal, creating an overwhelmingly dark atmosphere balancing it out with brilliant ballads such as 'Down In A Hole'. The Colour And The Shape because it's just a near-flawless album without one bad or even mediocre song Blood Sugar Sex Magik because it has a great fusion of funk and alt. rock, just plain beautiful instrumentally.
