That one is excellent, forgot about it. Damn. I spent many depressed college days listening to that album. Also really grew to love CYNE as a result.
Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma
Denzel Curry and Kenny Beats - Unlocked
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - F#A#∞
Have a Nice Life - Lords of Tresselhorn (mostly because of Trespassers w but the whole album is solid and pretty underrated, way less depressing to listen to than Deathconsciousness which is definitely better as an album but extremely bleak)
KGATLW - Polygondwanaland
Boris - (anything but mostly Heavy Rocks 2002 or Pink)
Flume - Hi This is Flume (those Sophie tracks)
Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma
nice one, Los Angeles holds up really well too
Idk if it’s considered an album but it’s JTM’s FNaF songs playlist. Never got tired of that one since last spring
Threads by the band Now, Now
There’s only 1 weak song on the whole album.
Avenged Sevenfold - City of Evil
Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle-Earth
CARE FOR ME - Saba
Illmatic - Nas
To Pimp a Butterfly - Kendrick Lamar
Hard Again - Muddy Waters
Transformer - Lou Reed
Blood on the Tracks - Bob Dylan
Master of Puppets - MetallicaGod I have too many haha I’ll stop there
Mine’s got to be Meshuggah’s The Violent Sleep of Reason.
geeking out:
Tracks in order:
- Janky broken machine riff. And they have chords? What the fuck are those?
- Paying respects to classic metal, and dare I say there’s even some blues in there? Then an amazing illusory infinitely descending riff.
- Not my favorite song, but it’s still solid. The solo sounds like a joke but also fucking slaps, and the following sections saves the song.
- The outro of this song is contender for fattest riff on the album.
- The verse rhythm is hidden in the 4:15 section. Best song overall?
- Another infinitely descending riff. Then the solo riff which does so much with basically a single note.
- Holy shit the verse is so fucking nasty! Outro also fattest riff contender.
- Seemingly random (except the verse) which then mostly gets unlocked at 3:18 by a riff that is both amazing on its own, but is also introduced … in the middle of a solo, wtf? At the end “gazing to the sky” actually a rare emotional moment.
- The verse proves that tone matters, it’s so goddamn crispy.
- Really fitting ending song.
Basically anything by Cloudkicker but especially The Discovery
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

The Wall - Pink Floyd
All albums - Porcupine Tree
To The Bone - Steven Wilson

And many more. I have kept some of these as cds as well, not that I have a player anymore.
Mutations by Beck
Fishmans 98.12.28
Bestiary - Hail Mary Mallon
I go through it every time I start listening, it’s so good
Dark Side of the Moon
Rage Against the Machine’s entire discography.
And, also, Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue.
Everything else eventually really wears me out.
