In The Aeroplane Over The Sea is a very very good record maybe even great, but I left it off my list because I just recently discovered it. It's lo-fi yet perfectionist, it's simple on the surface yet very detailed and intricate if you look deeper, the singing is nasally yet beautiful, and some of his lyrics are deceptively surreal.

When I think of the sound of that record, I think guitar chords and sloppy trombone. So, uhm, be in the mood to hear some sloppy trombone, I guess. That said, I wouldn't go in with too many preconceived notions. It's a record that gets discussed a lot nowadays as a sort of overlooked masterpiece. Now, it probably was an overlooked masterpiece, but I think saying that puts a lot of pressure on the album to be BIG when it's really better as a small, personal album. If that makes sense. That said, I came to it late, after the hype had already built for it, and I was somewhat skeptical. I was actively listening to music the year it came out and I don't remember anyone talking about this album. But it still won me over. So... yeah, I'd say just give it a listen and see if it could do the same for you. |

Faith No More - Angel Dust
For whatever reason, I have amnesia on this album. Though I've listened to it a thousand times or more, if you go "what does Little Victory sound like?", I don't have a clue and I'm that way on like 2/3rds the songs. I guess that's why it's my favorite album of all times - my brain can't process it properly so it never gets old. And that doesn't apply to any other FNM album. |
The Shape Of Punk To Come by Refused - still as hard-hitting, well-produced, and unique as it was 16 years ago.

More than Dylan, my first comparison would´ve been with Syd Barrett, I think. Probably you are famiiar with his solo albums; he´s good on the oblique lyrics - but no "sloppy trombone" I´m afraid! So, back on topic with stay-fresh albums, let´s add:- Syd Barrett - The Madcap Laughs Kraftwerk - Autobahn |
I'll have to check that album out, then.

The Idiot by Iggy Pop. I've been listening to it for at least 5 years and it still sends shivers down my spine
