The Toasty 50

Hello, Fellow music banter-ers! I'm fairly new around here, and not many of you guys know me very well. In order for you guys to get to know me better, I've decided to compile a "top 50 albums" list. Just in case you guys didn't know, I call myself Toasty, why? Well, in grade two, I burnt my arm on a toaster, and I came to school and everybody started calling me toasty once they found out where the the burn on my arm came from. Now, the origin of my name aside, lets talk albums:

#50: Animal Collective: Merriweather Post Pavilion

I bet you saw this coming. I usually don't like those REALLY popular hipster bands (Neutral Milk Hotel, for a good example.) but this album is really top notch. Every time you listen to it, you always hear a quirky sample you never heard before. Every song on here is a solid track, from In The Flowers to Brother Sport. And isn't the album art the best? the image above is moving, And it's a JPEG. I also love the singing on this album, It really stands out on tracks like Guys Eyes and Taste.The only problem I have about this album is the repetition, but that doesn't really effect how much I love this album.

#49: Autechre: Tri Repetae

^Most imaginative album art ever. The amazing trippy album art aside, the music is pretty top notch. Autechre has a really cool style on this album. They take a really stripped down, minimal beat, and loop it, then a few seconds later, a new sound is added. this process of adding on goes on for a few minutes, and it sounds nothing like the beginning of the song. in fact, the music evolves, and it does so nicely. My personal favorite tracks were Stud and Eutow. If you want to start getting into IDM, this is a good place to start. a brilliant album, in my opinion.
