Favorite Album?

[Indigo]

It was a close tie between five different albums but one came out on top... I shall list the five.

1. "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" ~ The Beatles (No explanation needed, and if you feel there needs to be, you haven't heard the album)
2. "Help!" ~ The Beatles (Great tracks, there wasn't a single track I didn't like)
3. "Beatles For Sale" ~ The Beatles (Great tracks as well, but some lack compared to most)
4. "A Hard Day's Night" ~ The Beatles ( ^_^ )
5. "Revolver" ~ The Beatles (<3)

Revolver is the beezkneez

Surprisingly, my favorite album is NOT electronic.  Yeah.


"Frances the Mute" by The Mars Volta.


This album is exactly what an album should be: a continuous trip for almost 80 minutes with clearly different songs but a flow that should feel like the whole thing is a larger song.  FtM does that: it tells a story, using near-ambience for between-tracks and is not afraid to step outside the normal boundaries of what an album should be.  Five tracks, 76 minutes.  And if you include the actual song "Frances the Mute", it's six tracks and 95 minutes.  Pretty much a movie by itself.  That's what FtM is: an audio equivalent to a really, really, really awesome movie.  it just transports you into this convoluted world of Frances and L'Via and Cygnus and Miranda...the rise and fall of each...etc...overall, definitely the best TMV album by far and the best album I've heard, which is the point of this thread.

Great album, and I haven't really listened to much electric music, but you should try Organic Waveforms by Probspot. Basically the first Trance album I ever listened to. And the only, listened to it a few days ago :D Still awesome.

It's hard to pick just one favorite album. So it's kinda a tie between these:

OK Computer - Radiohead
Hail to the Thief - Radiohead
Absolution - Muse
De-Loused in the Comatorium - The Mars Volta

My favorite Muse album as of now is H.A.A.R.P. (lol live album) OK Computer is freaking brain magic though.

As for me, I don't think I could pick a favorite album, so I'll list a few I like a lot.

In The Aeroplane Over the Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel

Revolver - The Beatles

OK Computer - Radiohead

The Alchemy Index - Thrice (didn't care much for water, but still decent)

Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand

A Piece of Strange - CunninLynguists

(random Red Hot Chili Pepper album) - Red Hot Chili Peppers

H.A.A.R.P. - Muse

Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots - The Flaming Lips

And probably a few others.

21st Century Breakdown by Green Day (I know, I know.)

I don't blame you...It's a really amazing album. Probably the best I've heard this year.

... <_< Well, I guess you could call it more back to "their roots" rather than a punk-styling like American Idiot.

[Syncopathic]

I can't pick honestly...
It's either Demon Days, Fear of a Blank Planet, or Wish You Were Here. D:

Never listened to the third one, but you have great tastes in music.

you've never heard of "Wish You Were Here"????

Pink Floyd!!

[Indigo]

Pink Floyd!!

Thought I've heard of it before :P But I've only listened to Dark Side of the Moon <.<

[Syncopathic]

Dark Side of the Moon is great, but it comes nowhere near Animals and Wish You Were Here.
I recommend you give both a listen.

[Shujinco2]

Probably White Album - Beatles.

Or 2112 - Rush

Or Moving Pictures - Rush

Or Yessongs - Yes

The Black Mages. Crazy arrangements on that album. Not really a band in the traditional sense, but meh.

How could you think it's back to their roots?
I saw it as more as a sequel to American Idiot. In fact that's what almost every review i've read on it has said.
