This album completely changed my taste, desu. And it was by looking to similar artists and artists similar to those and so on that I would eventually find a bunch of new genres that I wouldn't even thought I'd like before this.

Got me into technical and progressive metal, which then got me into progressive rock, which the got me into psychedelic rock, which the got me into the Beatles, which then got me listening to most of the sixties, which then got me listening to most of the 70s, which then got me listening to most of the 80s, and so on and so forth. Went back in time after that, heard a bunch of different genres and albums, and listen to what stood out to me the most now

Definitely this. I was playing in a death metal band the summer before I started college and one of the guitar players in a band we did a show with was talking about how much his band was digging TMV's "The Bedlam in Goliath" (which had just come out a few months before). A couple months later I was picking up textbooks and walked into the music section of the book store and saw some Volta stuff so I grabbed a copy of "Frances" with no expectations whatsoever beyond some other guy's recommendation. The first time I listened to it it absolutely destroyed me and all my notions about composition, lyricism, etc. (it was a pretty radical departure considering the scene in my small town was just about trying to write heavier, more technical shit than the next guy). Totally changed my approach to music and got me into jazz, '70s prog, avant garde, Zappa, Latin music... To this day it's still my favorite album of all time.

When I was little my parents got me an mp3 player for Christmas. They loaded my uncle's copy of Coldplay Live in 2003 to it. I didn't understand why people liked music before this album. I never really liked pop music and didn't like rock at all. This album was the first time I listened to "alternative" style music. After a couple years of listening to Coldplay and others like Ben Folds, I got into the indie rock genre. Now my taste in music is so broad I have a favorite artist/band from almost any genre. I owe a lot to this album.

Glad to hear your still here anon. I've been where you were at and it's a tough ride to make but I'm glad you came out the other side in one piece and doing better.

This was the first album that wasn't normie-core or stupid 'alternative" music I ever got into. It really pushed me into a lot of different genres and made me go search for music I wanted to hear. It scratched that itch for something intelligent and stupid, funny and real, raw and loud. Now I'm all over the place, but this is right where my tastes begin. I'll never stop listening to this album. "N Dakota" helped me out a lot and sitting zoned out on depression meds while listening to "Stoned and Starving" and "Tears O Plenty" still gets me in the Honey Nut Feelios to this day. I'll never stop shitposting this album on /mu/ ever.

I started out hating it, I seriously thought it was hot burning garbage, but then a couple songs got stuck in my head and so I put it on in the background and listening to the whole thing.. then about half-way through a switch was flipped in my head and I suddenly loved it.

I'm not saying it's an objectively great album, but before this I only had a very shallow appreciation of music. This album was the first to make me realize that actually using my brain and actually challenging my initial perceptions might pay off way more than just listening to some simple easy to listen to pop song or something that's effortless to identify with.

Because most of /mu/ can't look past differences in political opinions to enjoy an album. It's very childish. I disagree with Kendrick on a fair amount of TPAB's social commentary (although he was spot on with Blacker the Berry), but it's still one of my all time favorite albums.

This album instills a sense of self-empowerment despite all the sordidness and alienation that often plagues modern life. It basically gave me a "fuck it, I'm doing my thing" attitude with an important dose of consciousness. Jenny Death adds to that mindset, often more explicitly.

One of my friends showed me Romulus over ten years ago. I used to listen to a lot of edgy stuff back in high school but Michigan helped change my outlook on life. Now I own almost every single one of Sufjan's albums.

I respect music a lot more than I did back then and I'm thankful I got to experience this music.

Pic related started it all for me. First CD I ever bought, too.
Got me into Green Day that showed me you could make music that *sounds* like an annoying brat you wanna punch in the face but they made it be catchy and ergo likable as *fuck*. Their vocal melodies taught me soooo much going forward

All that + the fact that the sound was *generally* pretty uniform, but still with great variation throughout

Not my favorite DG album but one that changed my life.
Death Grips was coming to Detroit (where i live) but i had no intention of seeing them because i wasnt super in love with their music.
i turned this on for the first time one day and about halfway through it said "holy shit i need to see this fucking band live"
bought tickets and went to an amazing show, then a year later flew out to new york to see them live again.

i met my girlfriend at the detroit show, our 3 year anniversary is coming up in july

First discovered in 8th grade, this was the first album that I listened to that wasn't run-of-the-mill radio classic rock. Before, I thought David Bowie was a shitty gay singer,
>(inb4 someone says he IS a shitty gay singer)
but this album completely tore down my preconceptions and allowed me to broaden my horizons and realize there's more out there.

I discovered this after being recommended Strawberry Hill in a thread here.

For years, I only listened to Mistress/Strawberry Hill was was more into Ghosts of the Great Highway, but by god once i got immersed in this album after listening and being obsessed with Grace Cathedral Park, it's just a massive triumph of an album, even the sparse acoustic songs like Down Through have such wonderful melodies.

It's almost like it's uplifting sad, cause unlike the bleak Down Colorful Hill, Rollercoaster just has this lush-introspective melancholy which is almost uplifting that i never found with much other music other than parts of Ocean Beach, Some Elliott Smith, and parts of Things We Lost In The Fire by Low.

The album that finally got me into hip-hop, and it's perfect, at least tied if not better than Labor Days. Since then I've delved deeper into rap, and it's one of the main things I listen to. I also wouldn't have gotten into EL-P, A Tribe Called Quest, Busdriver, or Kanye, all of which are some of my favorite artists.

Also, I never saw much discussion of The Impossible Kid on /mu/, what did everyone think of it? I thought it was pretty great, but not Blockhead era Aesop level.

was 16 when this shit came out
Was not aware that you were allowed to wail the way Frances wails at the end of the title track here. Absolutely blew my fucking mind.

Changed my perspective on life in a lot of ways. Animal Collective in general has actually, cant think of any other band which i identify with more.

This album single-handedly rekindled my once diminishing love of music and showed me how to see it in an entirely new light

I listened to it when I was like 15 or 16. I had never really heard anything like it
I don't even listen to Tyler anymore but it was really the first thing that got me more into rap

>>72379760
First listen that instantly made me want it again

>>72386199

That's a fetus on the cover... right?

I know it gets a hell of a lot of shit on here but Dark Side of the Moon comes straight to mind. I first listened to it following a nervous breakdown a few months beforehand. I remember first listening to it with headphones in bed in a pitch black room, and feeling sheer euphoria and bliss for the first time in ages at a time when I feared I would never feel such emotions again. I remember feeling the hairs on my arms stand as I listened intently to the lyrics for the first time. It really helped me cope with my low mood and come to terms with having had a psychotic episode. I listened to it every day for months on end as I got my life back on track.

Now I only listen to it once every few months. It's no longer my favourite album (it's probably Bringing it All Back Home) but I hold an affection and sentimental attachment to it that I doubt any album will ever topple.
