      Modal Soul!

      That one is excellent, forgot about it. Damn. I spent many depressed college days listening to that album. Also really grew to love CYNE as a result.

    Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma
    Denzel Curry and Kenny Beats - Unlocked
    Godspeed You! Black Emperor - F#A#∞
    Have a Nice Life - Lords of Tresselhorn (mostly because of Trespassers w but the whole album is solid and pretty underrated, way less depressing to listen to than Deathconsciousness which is definitely better as an album but extremely bleak)
    KGATLW - Polygondwanaland
    Boris - (anything but mostly Heavy Rocks 2002 or Pink)
    Flume - Hi This is Flume (those Sophie tracks chopper-cry)

    Mine’s got to be Meshuggah’s The Violent Sleep of Reason.

    geeking out:

    Tracks in order:

    1. Janky broken machine riff. And they have chords? What the fuck are those?
    2. Paying respects to classic metal, and dare I say there’s even some blues in there? Then an amazing illusory infinitely descending riff.
    3. Not my favorite song, but it’s still solid. The solo sounds like a joke but also fucking slaps, and the following sections saves the song.
    4. The outro of this song is contender for fattest riff on the album.
    5. The verse rhythm is hidden in the 4:15 section. Best song overall?
    6. Another infinitely descending riff. Then the solo riff which does so much with basically a single note.
    7. Holy shit the verse is so fucking nasty! Outro also fattest riff contender.
    8. Seemingly random (except the verse) which then mostly gets unlocked at 3:18 by a riff that is both amazing on its own, but is also introduced … in the middle of a solo, wtf? At the end “gazing to the sky” actually a rare emotional moment.
    9. The verse proves that tone matters, it’s so goddamn crispy.
    10. Really fitting ending song.

    I'm not a big album guy normally, but these I keep coming back to:

    The Wall - Pink Floyd

    Tales of Mystery and Imagination - Allan Parsons Project

    The SimCity 4 OST (it's really good 'focus' music)

    Brothers in Arms - Dire Straits

    Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds

    Abbey Road and Sgt. Pepper's - The Beatles

    Rage Against the Machine's entire discography.

    And, also, Miles Davis' Kind of Blue.

    Everything else eventually really wears me out.
