2. Suicide - Suicide
I hated this when I first heard it. What a long way I've come from that point. I didn't think this was even music, just constant incredibly dated synthesized drone. But without even trying, my opinion dramatically changed the first time I really listened. The genius of this album is in its monotony, which is a perfect vehicle for the nihilistic and gloomy visions of the future the music contains. Where I once thought this was far too dated to be enjoyable, I now see it as virtually timeless. Every moment of the album does what it sets out to do perfectly. Perhaps the best example of this is on the track "Frankie Teardrop", which actually managed to scare me the first time I heard it. Fantastic.
