this one's tough.

Stealing Beauty has some absolutely jaw-dropping tracks on it, and it is solely responsible for shaping half of my current music library. Hooverphonic's 2wicky, Portishead's Glory Box, Axiom Funk's If 6 Was 9, Mazzy Star's Rhymes of an Hour and the Cocteau Twins' Alice are all fantasic. but the rest of the tracks just bore me, which makes this a pick-and-choose album for playlists. i can't listen to it start to finish.

but Into the Wild is pure pleasure from all the way through. not only does every note remind me of that spectacular film, but the music is enough to drag out a tear every once in a while. Long Nights gives me goosebumps every time i listen to it, and Society drives me into a frenzy of deep thought. every track is a masterpiece. what a great, great album!
