| REC Your Favorite Album of All Time! Pt. 2
Hey folks, we back for more fun. I promised I'd do this again because I had a blast going through some of your favorite records the first time around so we're playing again. Recommend me your favorite album of all time or one of them and I will listen and give my score and thoughts! Taking place August 1st-31st! | | 1 |  | Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds
Skeleton Tree
Yes, we're doing this again! Rec me your favorite album of all time and I will listen, score and write a short review. If you participated the first time, Rec me your 2nd favorite album of all time and if I've already listened and scored your favorite, give me one of your favorites that I haven't score on here yet! | | 2 |  | Sufjan Stevens
Carrie and Lowell
RULES:
Rules are simple: Rec me your fave, first 31 applicants will be included as I will be choosing one record per day for the month of August to listen to and react to. If you recommend me something I've already scored or heard, I will try to reply in time to give you a chance to resubmit another option. Please no joke recommendations as I really appreciated the fact that basically all the submissions from my last time doing this were serious and made the reviewing process much more enjoyable.
2nd, please be kind to each other in the comments, the friendly discourse from the last time I did this was extremely pleasant and brought me a lot of joy. Thanks! | | 3 |  | Bloody Tyrant
The Legacy of Sun-Moon Lake
August 1st
Rec'd by: Zac124
Alright, starting off super strong! This melo-death hybrid with traditional oriental based instruments is extremely fun. The guitar solos throughout are so awesome, it almost feels nostalgic in a way with how the recording sounds. The implementation of those traditional instruments is basically seamless and adds so much life to what might be just another melodic death metal record in many aspects. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better record to start this month off with. This also ended up being my 5000th rating on this site which is pretty sick!

Brown Sugar
August 2nd
Rec'd by: jrlikestodance
Some sweet sweet sexytime music. Excellently produced, I wasn't expecting such a diverse sound pallette with some of the jazzy instrumentals mixed with D'Angelos sensual vocal cadence but it works super well. I felt like the front half was a bit stronger and that some of the song lengths were a bit unnecessarily extended but besides that, this was quintessential sex music.

Violin Partita No.2 in D minor, BWV 1004
August 3rd
Rec'd by: DadKungFu
I'm not gonna lie, I am not versed AT ALL in Classical music; I am a novice. With that being said, I listened to three interpretations just to get a feel for this piece:
Hilary Hahn - 1997
Itzhak Perlman - 1988
Salvatore Accardo - 2007
All three were quite good, I find the piece itself and its various movements to be quite compelling. However, with it just being a violin piece, there's not a whole lot to dissect in terms of depth, production, etc, it's very much the violin and the sheet music and there's something special about that for sure. If anyone has suggestions of their favorite recording of this piece, I'm all ears because I think with visiting more classical music, I'll develop a deeper appreciation for it.

Pink Moon
August 4th
Rec'd by: Rowhaus
This was the final Nick Drake album I had left to listen to and I was not disappointed. The simplicity of a man and his guitar cannot be understated in its beauty and ability to convey such powerful messaging in such a direct manor. I truly believe this is his finest effort having listened to it three times in a row and being sort of floored after each listen. Also, From the Morning is just a perfect closer that truly finished this record the best way possible. No notes.

Sunflower
August 5th
Rec'd by: onionbubs
I'm not gonna lie, this didn't immediately click for me the way Pet Sounds did. There's a bunch of great tunes, production values are very strong but it just feels like it's missing a bit of the care that went into songs like Cool Cool Water and All I Wanna Do on the other songs. Those tracks really feel expansive and like the band challenged themselves creatively and results speak for themselves. Regardless, I do still think it's good and it's
a pleasant listen for sure.

This Will Destroy You
August 6th
Rec'd by: budgie
I think this genre truly succeeds when you get utterly lost in the music. This record entrances you, it pulls you in and demands that you listen closely and feel a calmness that you don't usually feel. At almost an hour long, I felt like this flew by, in and out. But there's so much to unpack through the simplicity of droning, it slowly unfolds and builds on top of itself, it's actually very impressive. This is one of the most interesting post-rock/drone albums I've heard, and it makes me excited to explore more.

Precambrian
August 7th
Rec'd by: NexCeleris
I can't really lie about this one, guys. I've had a hard time with listening to this band, I've always found them to be extremely great musicians but I find them difficult to discern from other groups. The vocals really don't do much for me even though I find the lyrics rather interesting most of the time. The guitar tone especially on this record feels so dull, the playing while fairly solid, leaves a bit to be desired, but that may also stem from my distaste for the actual sound of the guitars. My favorite here was definitely Neoarchaean which was leagues better than most everything else here. It's also very long. I apologize, I don't mean to harp on this band, I kind of feel frustrated that I don't get the enjoyment that others do from them.

August 8th
Rec'd by: vult
I feel like this might be my first true experience with this sort of breakbeat/hard techno style of electronic music and I really dug it. Actually, what made this such a fantastic experience were the breaks from the intensity with some light ambient sections, violin pieces, classical pieces, etc. The flow doesn't really ever feel disrupted, it just feels enhanced by these opportunities to take a breath. The sheer variety of noises and ideas is fascinating as well. Production is awesome, fantastic album to listen to on headphones. Overall, big win.

Rec'd by: evilford
I'm not gonna lie guys, I was not vibing at first...I could not get past the vocals. Everytime they popped in I began to tune out. I ended up listening through this 3 times in a row and I'm glad I did not give up after first listen. It took literally halfway through my second listen to get it, I could not resist the instrumentals, I couldn't resist how clean and intricate and tasteful everything was. And the oddity of the vocals sort of adds a charm or at the very least a separation from similar death metal acts. I ended up loving this quite a bit.

Grace and Danger
August 10th
Rec'd by: Drifter
I've heard a couple of his records prior to this that I enjoyed a lot and this is no different. I love this dude's voice; I also really find his songwriting to be forward thinking and perhaps a bit ahead of his time. The nuanced addition of jazzy drums and piano licks really adds some depth to these solidly written pop songs. I would say the main highlight for me was "Sweet Little Mystery" which will be certainly on repeat for a while.
4.3/5 | | 13 |  | Neurosis
Times Of Grace
August 11th
Rec'd by: bananatossing
There's so much to love about this record but I'll begin with the cataclysmic heaviness of some of these riffs and just how dense and noisy the production is. These tracks sort of slowly unfold but also kind of waste little time allowing for the hour plus runtime to feel much shorter than it is. All the pieces feel essential which is a must in a great metal record. I feel like I vibed with "Under the Surface" and the title track the most but honestly, the whole record just slaps.

Ridin' Dirty
August 12th
Rec'd by: Typhoon24
This mid to late 90's era of hip hop is what really does it for me. The addition of some funk elements here just offers a different dynamic that I haven't heard much in this music. There's so many perfect tracks, each song just smacks and grooves, the flows are infectious, the features are all excellent. The only thing left to say is, UGK's Ridin' Dirty, welcome to the 5 club.

The Baby Huey Story: The Living Legend
August 13th
Rec'd by: widowslaugh123
Fuck dude, Baby Huey got pipes! This was an awesome experience with the drummer and bassist absolutely carrying some of these tracks, especially the instrumental jams. Whoever the drummer is deserves a fat raise cause that person delivers some stellar performances, and those bass grooves are so tasty. Not to undermine the power of Baby Huey himself, the dude delivers some insane shrieks and has more soul than most the 70's soul scene. I only wish we could have heard more of him, although the instrumental tracks are phenomenal in their own rights.

August 14th
Rec'd by: WRYN
This rivals some of the material on their best records like "Pornography" and "Disintegration." It's dark and gloomy, it's finely tuned gothic rock with a couple examples of post-punk quickness. I really loved how tight the tracklist is, 8 tracks, all thrills, doesn't waste time like some of their lengthier records. Overall, this record is easily one of the best in their distinguished discography, can't believe it's taken me this long to hear this one.

Rec'd by: Cylinder
There's a lot of things about this album that I really enjoyed, mainly the storytelling through music sort of approach as well as the diversity of sound; the multitude of influences that clearly mold how this record sounds. I don't think the execution is always amazing but I think this is well intentioned and for the most part comes across in a very positive and interesting way. I also think the production aesthetics overall are very impressive and well mixed.

August 16th
Rec'd by: JohnnyoftheWell
This a tremendously gorgeous record, front to back, The depth of sound, the enormity of the production, a healthy blend of bright and gloom, just something so unique to my ears. I felt like I couldn't predict what the following track would be like, it was such an experience. I'm excited to explore more from this group, it just seems like there's so much room for expansion in this sonic space and I'm sure they offer so much more. Overall, I quite enjoyed this. It's definitely one of those albums you have to sit down and listen to front the back, it's not a playlist type record.

Rec'd by: Kildare
An unlikely pairing that works fairly well. The industrial grooves of Ministry with the voice of Minor Threat, just so strange but for the most part, these aspects meld well but I do wish the songwriting was a but more interesting. There are a couple absolute banging tracks, "I Will Refuse" and "Man will Surrender" but the rest feels a but unfinished in some ways, namely the other tracks don't deviate much, they don't expand much to create more interesting songs. That isn't to say they are bad by any means, just not as captivating as I would have hoped. I still enjoyed this quite a bit and will be adding the two referenced songs to my regular rotation.

Rec'd by: Casavir
Truth be told, I wasn't a massive fan of their most recent comeback record; it was good but I just couldn't really get too much into it. This record on the other hand, is pretty sick. It's got a but of leftover 80's cheese primarily with the vocal style and melodies but the overall instrumentals and songwriting are very solid and comparatively rival the quality of stuff from Queensryche and Fates Warning from around that time. There's even a bit more edge here and diversity in it's song structures which I consider a win at a time where metal was sort of stale. Great stuff, can totally see myself enjoying this even more with repeated listens.

August 19th
Rec'd by: PsychLizard
Rosenstock has been one of those artists that I have just not been impressed with in the past, i.e. I found his most recent record to actually be rather boring. But THIS record, is extremely cool and well made. The flow of the record is maybe the most impressive thing to me, just how well produced and well thought out everything really is. The instrumentals are fun and energetic, the lyrics are poignant and inspired, very relatable in the internet age. Can see this growing on me even more.

Rec'd by: Bazman
This style of brash, tongue-in-cheek hard rock isn't really my thing, unfortunately. I do think there's some solid riffs, interesting song structures but the lyrics are just a bit non-sensical and there's an overwhelming comparison to be made between this vocalist and James Hetfield which is rather funny. Overall, not really my thing but I appreciate it for what it is.

Rec'd by: someone
This is a fairly solid example of 80's post-punk but with some electronic flair weaved into the melodies. I like it, I think it certainly has a novelty to it but I feel like there are more well-produced and primed examples of this sort of thing. Regardless, this was an interesting listen and sounded very nice production wise in my headphones.

Sing to God
August 22nd
Rec'd by: Squiggly
Despite being an hour and a half long, this thing sort of felt like a breeze if that breeze were bashing you over the head with absurdist experimental instrumentation and noise, in the best way possible. It feels extremely manic and chaotic while having a clear sense of self, an almost lack of seriousness that feels palpable to the point where I can only respect it. I enjoyed this quite a bit, it's unique in that I haven't really experienced something so all over the place in the punk sphere that is so clearly punk in it's attitude but deviating as far as humanly possible from traditionalist punk structures and such. Quite cool, very worth the time.

Another Language

Rec'd by: Efp123
Having just experienced this band's self-titled album a bit earlier this month with another rec, I was hoping for more of that entrancing, overwhelming post rock that I heard previously. And......I sort of got that but it just didn't feel the same. It's a solid record, don't get me wrong, it's perfectly sustainable, passable post-rock but I can't quite put my finger on what it's missing compared to their self-titled. There are certain songs that feel a bit lifeless in a sonic way, sort of lost and maybe that mood of feeling loss in a darker gloomier way just didn't vibe as much with me. But there's also War Prayer, which is a killer track, easily could have vibed well on the self-titled. Enjoyed this a solid amount.

Dark Scientific
August 24th
Rec'd by: Arthropod
I know I shouldn't feel bad for not liking something but knowing that this is someone's favorite album makes me strive to understand what makes it so great and gives me an added effort to find aspects that I like. With this album, what I found is that some of the riffs were solid and there was a fair amount of variety. What I didn't like far exceeded what I liked. I don't care for obvious sound of programmed drums, I dislike the vocals, the electronics don't really mesh well in the mix. It just didn't do it for me but I'm happy someone else can get great enjoyment from this.

Rec'd by: Ryus
I've been low key looking forward to this just to see whats all about and I'm certainly not disappointed. I got some good laughs, I grooved to some funky fucking beats and I vibed to some deep bass rhythms. This record doesn't feel very serious, I feel like this ultimately succeeds in being a parody of hip hop that tries too hard to be too "dirty" or "shocking" by being non chalant in its approach. It's fun, I had a good time with this.

Welcome to Hell
August 26th
Rec'd by: ToSmokMuzyki
There is something here that is charming, particularly the extremely raw and unpolished guitar tones that really reflects the personality and aura of black metal. There are solid songs underneath the difficult outer layer, and it is sort of rewarding to hear these tracks in this form but my lord, there is a part of me that wishes that this had the production of a Slayer album so I could really appreciate it. To be fair, I have also never been a big black metal fan unless is drenched in shoegaze aesthetics but I enjoyed this for the most part.

Rec'd by: Icebloom
Yeah, this definitely makes their most recent stuff sound like dogshit by comparison. These songs feel much richer and more complete, there's clearly a lot of energy in the drumwork and the overall songwriting is much more nuanced and fun to listen to honestly. "Mistaken for Strangers" is a wonderous track that I'll have on repeat for a good long while. I appreciate the push to finally check out some prime era stuff from this group.

August 28th
Rec'd by: DaveyMonsoon
Damn, what a cool record. Anytime something that is considered black metal comes up, I always get a bit skeptical because, truth be told, I'm not the biggest black metal fan. However, when it's mixed well and incorporates melody and thrashy elements like it does here, I'm all about it. So many great riffs, lots of great diversity in the song structures and world building with various ebbs and flows. It's a great record, something I'll be coming back to quite a bit.

August 29th
Rec'd by: SlothcoreSam
I can certainly see this being ahead of its time and forward thinking for the early 80's in this style of noisy punk music but there's certain things about that I did not enjoy much. The overall tone of the guitars is frustrating, the pacing of the record is a bit all over the place, it just is not a super enjoyable "listening experience" but I do appreciate the lyrics, the angst vocal delivery and the energy on some of the more aggressive tracks. Overall, might check some other stuff from them but wasn't really my speed for the most part.

Rec'd by: Futures
Yes yes yes, this is great stuff! This really hit me and I'm not typically a massive fan of emo-centric music but I loved the vocals, loved the lyrics, the instrumentals are well performed and interesting enough to keep me well engaged. I do think there might be a slight lull in the middle, but the beginning and ending portions are extremely strong and make up for it.

What a brilliant way to wrap up this month. This is an album I've been wanting to sit down and experience for a good long while and I'm so glad that I finally did. The story/concept is pretty fascinating, the rhythms and flows ate genuinely exciting and really highlight the elements about hip hop that I love. This is an essential listen for hip hop heads which I'm slowly becoming.

This is tagged solely as "industrial" on Sputnik. I assume this is because the guys in Ministry's "Mind is a Terrible Thing" line-up did the instruments. But Minor Threat's Ian Mackaye did the vocal work, and he didn't change his style, so it really needs a punk-oriented tag | Casavir

08.08.24 | I see the list is full but I'm going to throw my rec in here anyway since I see it doesn't show up in your ratings:
Devin Townsend - Ocean Machine | mkmusic1995
08.08.24 | "Probably the first time I've seen anyone state they like a track from CD1 better than all of CD2."
I actually did overall enjoy the second half better than the first half but that track in particular was the main one that stuck with me that I would throw on a playlist as the highlight.
@scheumke, I'll listen if I have a chance because I do love Devin Townsend. I do plan on doing more of these sorts of things again in the future too :D | Confessed2005

08.13.24 | Hell yeah glad you liked 10 | mkmusic1995
08.13.24 | Thanks man! | jrlikestodance
08.13.24 | Ridin Dirty 5 warms me heart. Lets fuckin gooooooo | mkmusic1995
08.13.24 | Hell yeah! Wasn't expecting a 5 so it was a pleasant surprise | Colliiiin
08.13.24 | ISIS - Panopticon
Maybe the most beautiful metal album ever | mkmusic1995
08.13.24 | One of my favorites @Colliiiin, I have to delve into more Isis. | dbizzles
08.13.24 | I can't pass over this thread without recommending my favorite:
mewithoutYou - Brother, Sister | mkmusic1995
08.13.24 | I actually have this exact mewithoutyou album on a personal list of mine of records to czech so I will certainly hear this one soon. | Typhoon24
08.13.24 | glad you liked ridin dirty. it really is a stroke of brilliance | Drifter
08.14.24 | I'm very happy you enjoyed Grace and Danger so much. Side B is a wrecker and one of the best string of songs I've ever heard. Sweet Little Mystery is definitely one of the best along with the crushing Hurt In Your Heart which is one of the most devastating songs of heart break of all time. If you watch live performances from closer to his passing he still couldn't perform it without weeping. Such a powerful song and album. | StormChaser
08.14.24 | John Frusciante - The Empyrean
gonna take a spin of that John Martyn lick Drifter, sounds solid
also kudos to you mk, we need more positive lists | Drifter
08.14.24 | hope you enjoy it storm! | Drifter
08.14.24 | also fun fact, phil collins played drums and background vocals on that album and his next one | StormChaser
08.14.24 | thanks man, never head of the dude, went to his page on sput and saw Solid Air was rated highest so I just started with that one to get the general whiff of the style thinking i'd come back to it later, but I just kept it on. Such an easy instant-click.
Phil is a fucking legend especially as a drummer, spinning your rec next in about 10 mins | Shuyin
08.14.24 | Isis - Oceanic
It's a mood thing between Oceanic and Panopticon tbh | widowslaugh123
08.14.24 | Hell yeah baby Huey rules | mkmusic1995
08.14.24 | "also kudos to you mk, we need more positive lists"
Appreciate you Storm! I've heard a different Frusciante record from the last time I did this and I enjoyed it. Will have to check this at some point as well.
@Drifter, didn't realize Phil did the drums, that's an awesome little tid bit. Hurt in Your Heart is a gut-puncher for sure.
@Typhoon24, absolute stroke of brilliance, was not expecting to enjoy that so much.
@widowslaugh123, Wish he made more records, man. Need more Baby Huey in my life. | mkmusic1995
08.18.24 | Some updates, some good shit bruhs | dbizzles
08.20.24 | 'I actually have this exact mewithoutyou album on a personal list of mine of records to czech so I will certainly hear this one soon.'

08.23.24 | Andres Segovia - Suite In Modo Polonico | Calc
08.23.24 | Exotic Animal Petting Zoo- I Have Made My Bed in Darkness | Bazman

08.25.24 | Fair point about 26. Which songs stood out for you? | JohnnyoftheWell
08.25.24 | drink my piss day lfg
glad you dug Dead Can Dance | mkmusic1995
08.25.24 | Thanks everyone for checking on some of the updates, it's been a wonderful mixed bag of styles and genres so far.
@arthropod, I think Falter and Skyline Divided were probably the two that I thought were overall the best and kept me the most engaged. | budgie
08.25.24 | how could u pick me over johnny. how could U do this | budgie
08.25.24 | u ignorant slut | mkmusic1995
08.25.24 | Lmao | Ryus
08.26.24 | noice | Avagantamos
08.26.24 | nice job giving the highest score to the best album on the list so far | mkmusic1995
08.28.24 | @avagantamos, so far it has definitely been my favorite. It seems like there's a couple bangers to round off the month though including your rec which is one I've been meaning to check out for the longest time | SlothcoreSam
08.30.24 | Glad you have Crass a spin.
Their first album is more straight up in your face punk, you should give that a go. | Icebloom
08.30.24 | Hey nice you dug Boxer! And also Dead Can Dance, it's one of my favourite albums as well | mkmusic1995
08.30.24 | @slothcoresam, I'll definitely give it a listen.
@Icebloom, it was very good, makes me pumped to check out more from that earlier era. Infinitely better than First Two pages of Frankenstein which I'll have to bump down now in comparison to Boxer lol | Dedes
08.31.24 | Mineral rule | KjSwantko
08.31.24 | Please do Death “Symbolic” and then give it a 5 as it deserves. | mkmusic1995
09.02.24 | That's a wrap! Thanks everyone for your lovely recommendations, I had a wonderful time experiencing some of your favorite records and hope I can do this again in the future! | PsychLizard
09.09.24 | shiiiieeet I'm late for this one... Still I'm glad you enjoyed it, it's definitely his best work. For how seamless it all is, once the album hits the midpoint it all sounds like one massive song really.
As for his other work I'd recommend NO DREAM next. | PsychLizard
09.09.24 | On a sidenote I watched hi+m live this year, it was one the best concerts I've ever been. So if you get the chance to see him live go for it brother. | mkmusic1995
09.09.24 | Thank you, my friend. I will certainly give that one a listen as well. I'll have to see if he's passing through my area sometime soon! | mkmusic1995
09.09.24 | Also, the combined average of all these albums I rated ended up being a 3.85 which is fucking stellar. Y'all have great taste. |
