Album of the week

Honestly, there’s so much room here for some really cool stats 👍

And let's not forget how these more controversial albums always kick off the best deep dives 👍 regarding o golotinja, or music and silence. We even had those side discussions popping up, like death, transformation... (think Prince, that lyric from Dennis Hall41, and those comparisons to Bowie)

I'm really hoping we get a ton of similar ideas and fresh debates rolling in this year 🙂

On a totally different note, we've started rolling out some new concepts, so as of today, we officially have a review thread similar to the classic one over at Film. Just a little bit of everything 🎉

Yeah, certain albums really do open the door for much bigger debates. 🙂

Plus, if we're looking at averages, I guess our buddy Jason Mendoza actually runs the most successful threads here,
just based on the stats. Just saying!

And maybe Arthur Brown can finally take a bow once he hits his 60th thread.
🍿

Honestly, who would have thought? I’m promising you even more obscure albums coming your way soon 😁

Paradise Lost - Icon (1993)



True Belief

The whole damn album

True Belief

The whole album

I’ve always had a soft spot for their debut, Lost Paradise. To me, that record sits right alongside My Dying Bride’s Crown of Sympathy and Anathema’s Silent Enigma as part of the holy trinity of early Death/Doom. It’s just foundational stuff.

I also have to throw Disembowelment into that mix as absolute pioneers, especially with their 1993 masterpiece.

azalia snail - fumarole rising (1994)

album

Here’s something fitting for wrapping up a year like this and moving toward new beginnings...
A total classic. Right at the top of '69., and if we're being honest, maybe even the best ever made..



the whole album + allmusic

There's an absolutely genius scene in one of my all-time favorite sci-fi flicks: Children of men

Yeah, totally, it's a masterpiece! 🎉

And I've gotta say, I give a massive amount of credit on this album to one hidden gem of a guy named Peter Sinfield. 😍 His solo stuff is just as worth listening to, but he's pretty under the radar... personally, my favorite (and probably best) KC album is 'Islands'; it feels like his work most of all. It hasn't happened again since—later on, Fripp kind of took over the reins...

Since nobody else seems to care...

Lisa Davis46 said:An absolute classic... truly. Right at the very peak of '69...I mean, if we’re being totally real about it... Ever....

I'm just looking over this list right now, and man... what a killer harvest '69 was! 👍 🙏

We’ve got The Beatles, The Velvet Underground, and Frank Zappa in the mix... plus two different Led Zeppelin vibes! And honestly, I don't even need to bring up Nick Drake or Miles Davis specifically... they just speak for themselves... And some others too, just so nobody feels left out... 🕺😬

Yeah, we've already felt some of this over here too!

I’ll be blunt: it sucks to me that Nick Drake's 'Pink Moon' only landed at number 28. 😁 But hey, that's just how that album is—subtle and quiet. Still, I think it's pretty cool that all three of his albums made it into the top 300 or so, ever. 😍

...Hey there, fellow music lovers... Listening to all you guys talk makes me wonder when I'll finally sit down and really dive deep into the sounds of '69...

...But honestly, I probably won't start that until I've fully wrapped my head around everything from '79 first...😛

...And then I'll slowly work my way back through the rest of the 70s...

...If I can find enough time in this lifetime, that is...😁

I mean, come on, this is just straight-up classic stuff. I’ve listened to all these albums at totally different points in my life, but I just realized they all dropped in the exact same year! 🙂

Your deep-dive study of music by era and decade is honestly impressive, but you don't really need to go that deep for this one... 😉 It’s just a massive lineup of iconic names and legendary albums all in one spot.

I’m honestly not sure how to make sense of a list where Radiohead manages to land three different albums in the top 20...

I mean, I’m not even looking at this "personal" one for the 69th spot. King Crimson is sitting at number 8, Nick Drake is down at 26—though that's a different record—and even Captain is at 24. 🙂

I’m thinking along the same lines, honestly. I have no clue how to wrap my head around this whole Radiohead thing.
But I probably shouldn't keep commenting... I don't want my coworker Mimma to start hating me. 😁

And '69 was a total phenomenon, period. Maybe the Captain should be at the top, just like Nick Drake.
