IDLES - Joy as an Act of Resistance.
100

Apparently I passed over one of the greatest albums of the 2010's. This albums manages to capture the angsty zeitgeist of our time without sinking to nihilistic lows in order to get it's point across. This is the kind of music Wire would've written if they had the technology to make it sound this good. This music is bombastic, loud, adrenaline-pumping post-punk at it's finest. Like with Kids See Ghosts, not only is it a masterpiece, I fully intend on listening to this for many years to come.

For a bunch of covers of cheesy albeit catchy 80's pop rock songs, this somehow manages to avoid being a total cringefest. That being said, there's nothing you're really missing by skipping these forgettable song covers.

Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion

Is it officially old enough to call a classic?

The album doesn't miss a single beat. Every track is a mesmerizing sonic collage of warm, evocative, exciting sounds. A music festival, an amusement park, and the zoo are places the album feels like it could fittingly soundtrack.

Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon

There's a reason why a cliché becomes a cliché. Pink Floyd's seminal album The Dark Side Of The Moon is to rock what Miles Davis' Kind Of Blue is to jazz - perhaps not a perennial hipster favorite or crowd pleasure, but inexorably embedded into the DNA of all rock music to follow, joining hands with the likes of Radiohead's OK Computer and The Velvet Underground's The Velvet Underground and Nico. It's rich sonic textures and moody atmosphere well compliment the introspective (if a ... read more

Brian Eno - Another Green World

There are many things I could say about this album. About how it's one of the most beautiful, affirmig statements musical poems on life. I could say how cohesive it is and how every track contributes to an album greater than the sum of it's parts. I could talk about every electronic album since it's release has been at least somewhat influenced by it. But I'll leave it as simple as I can possibly can: Brian Eno's Another Green World is the best album I have ever heard and likely ever will hear.
