The Death Stranding OST
Cursive - Devourer (sic?)
Module has always been my soundtrack through hard times, and I was fortunate enough to get a signed copy of this album.
It’s a pretty well-constructed compilation and I think it’s worth a listen, no matter what you typically like.
But uh… I might be biased:
Justice - Hyperdrama
gybe - lysf
Who's Who Ulterior Motives baby!
I love the question! I rarely listen to songs or playlists, and almost never algorithm based streams. Instead I put on albums I like. Even in my 10m-15m drive to work, and do that until I'm tired on an album. So, love the question.
Aesop Rock's Integrated Tech Solutions. Being a long time fan I thought The Impossible Kid was fantastic. TIK was as creative and ponderous as anything he'd done, but often felt more accessible and personally inviting. While accessibility is not something you generally look for with Aesop, that feeling of being personal really made it pay off. Spirit World Field Guide was good and was interesting, but didn't work for me as much. Maybe it was a case of enjoying TIK so much, and comparison being the thief of joy? But ITS absolutely feels top notch again. Love it.
Also worth mentioning is Powerman 5000. A year or so ago (while on a kick to my youth) I found out they were still making music and had released an album (The Noble Rot) in 2020. Shortly after I discovered that, they released one in 2024 (Abandon Ship.) They're not great songs, but they're all great vibes. The songs feel like they 3/4s to being great to me. Like they kept the dial at a 7 or 8 instead of turning it up to 11. And even when they did turn it up, it was only at the very end. Maybe he's going for something different, or maybe I've changed, but the strength feels off. But damn the vibes are still there.
Of all time, The Cure's Disintegration. Lately, it's been Kangding Ray's Zero. Exactly what you need from a great techno record
The age of consent by Bronski Beat. You can get some preview here: https://www.qobuz.com/us-en/album/the-age-of-consent-bronski-beat/iiserdbkur9hc
Killer album. Here are a couple other places to find it:
Great thread idea, I'm going to listen to a batch of these as they sound excellent! :)
For me I'm utterly loving the new Kim Deal* album "Nobody Loves You More" - it came out today, and oh yes it's good!
It's unexpected with style, almost 60s with brass and strings at times, then there's other songs that sound modern... and beyond making my ears happy, it's great songwriting :)
*(Former Pixies bassist and the fronthuman for the Breeders)
Ne Obliviscaris - Portal of I. A progressive extreme metal. If you want to give it a shot, listen And Plague Flowers The Kaleidoscope, to see if it is for you.
Honorific mention to Nirvana - All of us. This is not Kurt Kobain's Nirvana, but another band called that way back from 1967. Amazing soft psychedelic rock. The band's history is quite interesting as well, including a lawsuit against Kurt Kobain's Nirvana, and then also trying to cash out of KB's Nirvana popularity by launching a new album after several years of breaking up, in order to profit from confused customers. Then, past year they launched a new album, after 50+ years of their original break up (which I really enjoy as well).
I've been beating Dance Gavin Dance's Jackpot Juicer to death recently, every time I listen to it my favorite song on it changes. Swallowed by Eternity goes HARD.
Radiohead - Kid A
Low – Long Division (and actually any Low album at the moment)
I still remember when Double Negative was released, knocked me off my feet even as a long time fan of records like that and TWLITF. RIP Mimi 😢
i don't do albums. as a kid, we basically only had recorded-from-radio cassettes. when we got a CD player in like 1999, we mostly bought those "now that's what i call music" collections. i didn't really listen to music myself at all until like 18-19. i didn't see the point. as a result i basically can't sit through an entire album of the same genre.
is this weird?
All three Audioslave albums. I just love the fact that they gave Chris Cornell space and didn't all try and overshadow his vocals.
Not Safe For Working Class - by Trashbag Ponchos
I'm back on "Robbin the hood" from sublime. Old but fantastic.
Been ages since I've listened to it until just the other day i took it for a spin. Funny how much i still remember, even those ridiculous Raleigh soliloquies. That really is a great album, crazy how young they were making such good music
Sublime is timeless to me. Wish there were more of it. Looking at you too Blind Melon 😞
Dancing with Mr. Brownstone is pretty predictable unfortunately. RIP to those two and so many more.

Was, is, and probably always will be..
Pink Floyd - The Division Bell
Division Bell was a big one for me too.
I realize this may be a bit of a stretch for some, but an artist called Lindsheaven Virtual Plaza took the opening track Cluster One and made a sprawling 17-minute piece combining portions of the song with his own ambient additions... It's a track called "Polydreaming Mall" from their album Transversal Worldwide Shopping... I've enjoyed listening to it many times: https://underwater-computing.bandcamp.com/track/polydreaming-mall
Gilmour's guitar work on that album gives me chills just thinking about it. Even after 30 years, Marooned still teleports my mind to some deserted island every time I hear it.
For real, that track is just 😙🤌 Gilmour might be my favorite guitarist.
Devin Townsend’s PowerNerd. “I love petting the cat!” 🐱
Doing 3 because I'm eclectic. They are different enough that I feel justified.
Tool - Fear Inoculum
Run the Jewels 2 (3 is incredible also)
Chappell Roan - The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess
I can listen (have listened recently and frequently) to all three repeatedly.
I've heard of a couple of these. I'll check them out!
I've been playing Yeule's softscars over and over for a few weeks now. I've never really been into shoegaze, but they put a really interesting twist on it that I've fallen in love with. The lyrics are very dark and personal, and it's a very heavy album - both musically and emotionally. Their videos all have really beautiful aesthetics, and I really love the late 90s/early 00s feeling in the video for dazies.
Sprints - Letter to Self
"Deathconsciousness" by Have a Nice Life. I described it to a friend as "nice music with which to smoke a joint and watch your life spiral into oblivion"
Magdalena Bay - Imaginal Disk
(At this moment, it changes frequently)
Big Wave by Tatsuro Yamashita
It's not my favorite album, but I have been listening to Marcy Playground by Marcy Playground a lot recently. It was one of my first favorite albums and still is.
Tom Waits, Mule Variations.
He's big in Japan
Destiny Potato - Lun
"Spirit Of Eden" by Talk Talk.
Like a friend said when I showed it to him - "Damn, that sounds like Radiohead ten years before Radiohead!" Yeah, and even more sublime.
Upbeat: Kraftwerk - tour de france
Downtempo - a.s.o. - a.s.o.
Young Ejecta - Ride Lonesome has been my favorite for this month.
