tell me about an album that permanently altered the way you think. could be about something simple or something complex. preferably, pick a nicheish album. my pick is (Untitled-0007-0020+0001) by JOHNNASCUS. It's based off the anime serial experiments lain, and it changed the way i view technology. Would highly recommend listening

I know edelweiss is not nicheish anymore because of normfags, but still.

Gonna be real here, it was Nirvana - In Utero. I was in grade 5 (10 years old) at the time in 1993, saw the music video on Muchmusic for Heart-shaped Box, and something just made sense in my kid brain. I begged mom for the tape (can’t believe she got it for me). It was like my brain finally found the ability to appreciate music. Through the years it tumbled into the obsession with finding heavier and extreme music.
Might be lame, but it was such a catalyst.
@Kommando Mutiliid we all start somewhere, don’t we?
If I had to name one, one of the albums that definitely changed me was Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles. In fact, I have it on CD hehe :3

This isn't really "niche", but
Hades: The Nine Stages Of Change At The Deceased Remains by My Dead Girlfriend was the album that convinced me to start listening to albums in their entirety with the proper track order, and made me realize how important even the order of the tracks in an album is.
Weirdly, that was not something I ever did before listening to that album for the first time, I was always the type to just listen to songs individually outside of their proper context. A product of primarily only listening to game soundtracks and openings/endings to shows I liked when I was a kid.
I liked the way it told a story that progressed with each track (the first track being the "Prologue" to the Nine Stages of Change, it being a relatively upbeat song with a kind of melancholy undertone to it, then progressing with nine other tracks, with the 10th track being the ninth and "final" Stage of Change and being an outwardly depressing-sounding song about losing someone while you're still alive)
It helps that the story being told also really got to me, This might be the only album I wish I could listen to for the first time again. That first experience of listening to it in the afternoon, dozing off underneath my window while basking in the sunlight, and then waking up as the final song closed out with the sky getting dark as it got late is something I don't think I'll ever be able to experience again.
So now, whenever I find out about a band I hadn't heard of before, or when I'm listening to an album for the first time, I try to listen to it all the way through without skipping songs.
Some other albums I like that kind of progress a story with each track are Eyedea and Abilities - First Born, Senses Fail - Still Searching, and siinamota - Yume no Manimani
I want to pick up this call.
f# a# infinity by godspeed you black emperor.......listened to dead flag blues and was obsessed, then listened to the rest of the album, and admittedly it didnt grab me initially! but then i listened again and it was amazing, i still hold it very dear to my heart.....just perfectly melancholic and beautiful....
tokenainamae’s タイムマシンが壊れる前に and slipknot’s self-titled. haven’t been the same ever since. they both got me through tough times even though their sounds are different.
