Whenever I hear a song I like for the first time, I go to the album to listen to it in context. Artists (foe the most part) put their songs together in a specific order and I want to view it through that lens. Sometimes it's trash and you move on, but sometimes you find "perfect albums". They take you on an adventure through the course of the album

Some of mine are:

Random Access Memories - Daft Punk

The Mistress - Yellow Ostrich

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel

Plastic Beach - Gorillaz

Daylight - Aesop Rock

And many more

My first listen to Plastic Beach, I hated it. As I had bought it on a whim and money was tight at the time, I gave it a few more shots over the next couple of months and now it's one of my favorites. It's probably the album that convinced me to give music I don't immediately like a second chance.

Almost all albums I love most took several listens to get into. Music that sounds great on first listen often becomes boring quickly. More challenging stuff takes its time but in the end delivers much more pleasure.

Which is the point of Gorillaz, so they've succeeded once more.

The West is Dead - HMLTD

Thank you, I don't see many people talk about Aesop Rock. Been my favorite artist for a while now, so many hits and great collabs.

aesop rock is like hip hops version of elvis costello for me. obviously very talented, i like quite a few songs, but i always feel like i just dont quite get it

[-] Edgarallenpwn@midwest.social 2 points 6 months ago

How can people not listen to all of In the Aeroplane Over the Sea when they hear one song from it? It's works so well as a collected piece

Also, people need to check out You Can't Stop the Bum Rush by Len. Cryptic Souls Crew and Beautiful Day are better than Steal My Sunshine IMO.

Random Access Memory could also fit the comic (with some adaptations) because it is an album different from most of Daft Punk discography
