My Take
In my case, the albums that have become my favorites are the ones I feel I absolutely have to listen to from start to finish. Of course, there are standout tracks, and some, though good, might pale in comparison to others. But it’s the experience of listening to the entire album that captivates me.
Examples:
- “Flowerboy” by Tyler, The Creator.
- “Affinity” by Haken
- “Brat” by Charli XCX
- The debut album by Gentle Giant
What are your favorite albums and why?
The Prodigy - Music for the Jilted Generation
Alanis Morisette - Jagged Little Pill
C2C - Tetra
Fuel Fandango - Aurora
Sepultura - Chaos AD
Hard Funk Trio - Mustang
These are all albums I can listen to and genuinely enjoy every track … I can’t give a particular reason. Most albums have tracks that I prefer to skip over, just not these ones.
Looking at it, that’s a pretty international lineup … purely by accident, lol … artists from the UK, Canada, France, Spain, Brazil, and Argentina :-)
Always good to see someone pick …Jilted Generation over Fat of the Land. I do like the latter, but MFTJG is perfection.
Yes.
I loved Fat of the Land, had the available singles before the whole album dropped. But not every song is that good.
Experience is close for me (plus it’s a nostalgia trip), and I also enjoy all of Invaders Must Die.
But Jilted is wall to wall Goldielocks perfect porridge :-)
Yeah, love Experience too, except for I think it maybe lacks the best mixes IMO of Charly (Alley Cat) and Everybody in the Place (Fairground). Can’t remember 100% off the top of my head, but I think it’s those two.
The live recording of death of the dancers isn’t the best either … I’m not a fan of live tracks for most bands, though
