recommend me 2 albums and tell me why you like them?
!!!!! I'm going to do 5 instead because I'm too indecisive.
5. Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? by Of Montreal. I love the first seven tracks of this album to bits and if it ended there it might be my favorite album. Of Montreal's sound is always unique and this album in particular is such a journey and full of pathos, I think it's truly a masterclass in album-building, with how it manages the rise of energy into the at-first-placid whirlpool of The Past is a Grotesque Animal. But it lands at #5 because I inherently don't trust break up albums by men and the latter half sinks more and more into that, and def has some kinda misogynistic lines, esp. on track 11.
4. Lost on You, by LP. My fave album by lesbian power-icon LP, it's deliciously weary. I'll say her genre (more blues-ey in this one, but with one country/gospel vibes) is not my thing generally... but with her it works for me, and this album really nails it. The eponymous track within the album is one of my top 3 tracks of all time. Now that's a break up song.
3. The Black Parade, by MCR. Look I. How do I even begin? I feel like @butchviking could cover this better than I could ever hope to. I Though I am slightly afraid she might have me butchered in bed for ranking it only 3rd. Anyway great capstone to my emo boy days, thank you for your service Mr. Grard Ouias.
2. Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons, by the Blonde Redhead. Okay Blonde Redhead is probably my favorite group, and I had a hard time picking an album and I didn't want overrepresent. But honestly I love their whole range and if you have the time I recommend checking them out, they have such a unique sound and have gone through so many interesting phases and influences. Lemons specifically is, to me, a great merger of their more accessible later stuff and their more raw and weird earlier stuff, art punk but maybe a bit more art than punk. 23 and Misery is a Butterfly are also rock solid albums.
1. Box of Secrets, by Blood Red Shoes. Thrashing around to this whole album for 15 minutes is the cheat code to fixing my brain. Heeheehoo!
