Regardless, this is some of the greatest psych rock I've heard.
Please stay in my mind it sounds nice
SCORE ADJUST: 95 -> 100
Pink Floyd made two perfect albums in a row, this being the first. The human within the album is what makes it such a joy to listen to.
This album to me, while good, feels more of a proof-of-concept for a bigger, louder, and better sophomore album. Still not bad but just feels like it doesn’t experiment enough.
I think the nostalgia of playing Minecraft for 11 years may have hit me while listening to this one. Regardless, the music is fantastic.
This is my favorite album of all time. Every last second and note is a wonderfully crafted tribute to not just the inspirations of Daft Punk, but music as a whole.
Shoutout civil rights loved you in Black Panther (2018)
In Rainbows but every song is somehow elevated to an even crazier level.
I find Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band to be one of, if not the single most overrated album of all time. Sandwiched right between that and the controversial, sprawling, sometimes great but sometimes terrible White Album, I thought there was almost no way for this album to match the occasional greatness of either album. What an idiot I was, on my first listen of this album 2 years ago when I was doing a deep dive into The Beatles (that I never finished), I came out of this one surprised. ... read more
Relistened to this one, and the songs that didn't click the first time around did now. This is just 10 beautifully crafted rock songs and 2 funny interludes.
Amnesiac is different than Kid A. Kid A is depressive and anxious, much more like a synth-heavy OK Computer in tone. Amnesiac, with guitar-heavy and angsty writing, reminds me much more of The Bends. While I think it's slightly worse than Kid A, I think Amnesiac is a brilliant album on its own that shows Radiohead at some of its strongest in rock tunes, with some different songs to break things up, such as the piano-centric Pyramid Song, the electronic Pulk/Pull, the backwards Like Spinning ... read more

"@frogofprog Thanks for checking out my request! Glad you enjoyed it! As the other guy said, Mind Fuzz and Polygondwanaland are also great KGLW projects, Poly especially as that one is especially more of a prog album.
Anyways I gotta get to listening to Genesis"

Also quasi-related to the album at hand, if I’m listening to a first Genesis album, are you thinking Selling England or Lamb Lies Down on Broadway?"

"Of course I'd recommend more but the character limit hit me, and I don't remember you liking rap very much. Plus, if you consider Tame Impala's first album too commercialized, I don't think there's any point in me recommending the even more commercialized next 2 albums, or even his very pop 4th album. But if you do want some rap albums: Kendrick Lamar's good kid m.a.a.d city and Kanye West's College Dropout are great rap albums that I really haven't met people that dislike.
Also as a side-note I checked every recommend to see if you reviewed it and somehow missed Abbey Road!"

"I once HATED 2/5 songs on this album, now we're down to 1. That one has a cool 2 minute intro though. ITTW was the other I hated, but it's one where you just have to feel the vibe and let it take you away"

"@frogofprog Understandable, it’s more of a “this one is my favorite even though his later albums are more acclaimed yet even more commercial” type thing. Honestly I was just curious what your thoughts were on rock outside of prog in general, if you have anything you’d want to I’d love to see you review it"
