Exuviate - Exuviate (2000)

This is an amazing, nuanced, yet seldom-experienced death metal record. The guitar playing is twisted and dizzyingly elaborate, the growling vocals are just top-notch, the drums pummel your eardrums just like any proper death metal drumming should, and each track is structurally unique not just in comparison to each other but in contrast to the majority of brutal death out there. It's an album that's gotta be heard to be believed, and for people who appreciate the CRUSHING yet genuinely left-field, multi-faceted death metal.

The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute

Frances got me into the weird wide world of music and I’m forever grateful for it. This is one of the most exciting, daring, and unique albums to ever be released. Ever. If you love a good, challenging listen and you’re tired of prog rock being nothing but King Crimson copycats and Pink Floyd wannabes, then this is an album you have to check out. It’s just a damn shame that The Mars Volta were never able to capture this level of greatness again but fuck, De-Loused is damn close and imo the rest of their discography is still great.

Except Octahedron.

I don’t really like that one.

10/10, one of the best albums ever made
