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!)

Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution - A Call To Arms

Its an EP not an album but it's probably my single favourite record even if it is essentially just Streetlight Manifesto, one of my favourite band, covering of their own songs.

If you don't know much about Streetlight you should absolutely check them out as well as while it's easy to say they're a ska punk band they take a lot of inflance from folk music. And leaning into that side of their song writing is what the EP is playing with to the point you can almost feel these are the original/traditional version of songs their main band did covers of.

They're also just generally fantastic lyrical and musical story tellers and this EP brings all that into a perfect 20 minutes or so.
