I’m going to listen to the top 3 upvoted albums and give you my honest unfiltered thoughts.

Please explain what makes the album special to you. For context, lyrics are very important to me, so I gravitate to music with good storytelling.

Alright! Results are in. I’ll be listening to:

  • Lateralus - Tool
  • To Pimp a Butterfly - Kendrick Lamar
  • Pink Moon - Nick Drake
  • Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness - The Smashing Pumpkins

(I know I said 3, but I couldn’t resist!)

    To Pimp a Butterfly - Kendrick Lamar

    It’s a hip-hop album with a strong focus on themes of race in America and mental health. Lamar’s lyricism is incredible.

    The instrumentation is equally great, drawing inspiration from jazz, funk, and soul.
