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
Among others. really its multiple but this is the first full album that set if off. when i was about 17 ish, i was basically entirely unaware of the underground of heavy music and actual REAL death metal, grind etc.
Remember at the time the net wasnt quite so categorized and traversable as it is now, you largely remained ignorant of anything unless you were really nose diving into stuff.
Well my cousins boyfriend at the time, took me to the Pahrump nevada walmart parkinglot, around 1 am, and we parked the car, and we smoked a whole bunch of dope just chillin together. And then he opened up the world of heavy music to me like i never fucking knew.
up till then the heaviest shit i knew was slayer, or slipknot (ew), i was basically a dorky numetal kid, the furthest from predictable base metalhead i got was owning a couple testament albums lol. Most everything i had was basically the "top of the iceberg, shit that every kid knew" stuff. Thought Marilyn manson was edgy xD.
Bro threw on the whole "world downfall" album for me, plus a bunch of goregrind, powerviolence, crust punk, Brutal death metal, sludge metal etc. Dying fetus, ballgag, devourment, rompeprop, torsofuk, dying fetus, suffocation, dystopia, nausea, heamorhage, Eyehategod, magrudergrind, agoraphobic nose bleed, etc etc etc.
Fucking entirely blew my fucking head off and gave me what my soul had been waiting for that whole time. basically within a week im dead serious like everything i listened too changed completely, i dropped all that other shit so fast it just got so weak to me xD. absolute gear shift in life for me.

“While cliche it's quite simple: this album randomly cracked my egg back in 2024! ”

yess! I love Nicole. I wouldn't be the woman I am today without her. (* ^ ω ^)
i think fanny's "fear and loathing for dummies" permanently changed the way i considered doing music and instilled a lot more of a willingness to be off time and sloppy, and mix a lot of various tempos together in me. then that was further reinforced by panic stepper's "agro jazz" which took a long while to grow on me but now is my favorite record of all time. like, there's just nothing else like it and it's such an amazing experience with how all over the place it is.
Damn, what the hell, I've never actually seen anyone mention Fear and Loathing for Dummies out in the wild before, that record is so good
@thevoidisred dude i Love fanny, i have fear and loathing for dummies, revelry and decadence as the right of slaves, strange planes spray cancers on winnipeg, and f**k everything that moves in my collection. he's basically tied for my favorite artist of all time and i fume that i can't really find any of his older stuff. ive managed to snag an unreleased-ish album though. it's a huge shame he's overlooked nowadays
Literally Meddle by Pink Floyd, that album fixed my atrocious attention span
Bullhead by Melvins. It made melvins my favourite band ever and also helped introduce me to sludge https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kK9GFETgMng6LRTIaExCd-0R_0p8awu74&si=KNSY2KfBcEVI5t01

let me save you, hold this rope!
There are a lot of albums that I have changed me, but here’s one that I really like to share whenever I get the chance.
I found this album in my dad’s collection of hiphop CDs, it’s super cool because it introduced me to the wider genre of horrorcore rap (they’re like early pioneers of it, this album’s from 1994) The beats are addicting, the samples and lyrics are so creative and fun, and it’s just such a cool album to listen to and it’s literally so underrated. I would definitely recommend giving it a listen!
THIS album by Louis Tomlinson!! The rest of his songs are complete masterpieces but I think this album was what made me a normal functioning human lolll.
Constant Companions
getting killed by Geese, it is the soundtrack to such a special period of my life, so thankful for everything associated with the album. i am finally more comfortable being me :)
(another one would probably be long season by fishmans, to be precise the live version, holy fuck it is beautiful)
I bought Melvins' Gluey Porch Treatments on a whim at HMV when I was about 16 or 17 based on the cover and liking what I had heard of Houdini at the time
That was enough to break me from my Primus and Faith No More genjutsu for just enough time to make me realize that noise rock was about to take a glorious, unscrubbable shit on like ⅓ of my personality. In more positive terms, it gave me a renewed itch to discover and play a subjectively new genre of music that was so different from what I knew up to that point in my life
