Joanna Newsome - Ys
Fiona Apple - The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than The Driver Of The Screw And Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do

Getting in on this... The albums that lyrically have the most importance and power to me are


The Wild Hunt by The Tallest Man On Earth


The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan by Bob Dylan


The Animal Years by Josh Ritter


Good Kid, MAAd City by Kendrick Lamar


Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams

Those because they all are about being young and conflicted and they all express emotions I feel or have felt very well and they are all gorgeous albums with highs and lows, some mostly high (The Wild hunt) and some mostly low (Heartbreaker). I just adore those albums to no end.

Honorable mention is Pinkerton, Transatlanticism, High Low and In between, Either/Or, mule variations, closing time, highway 61 revisited, modern vampires of the city, etc

I swear I'm always the first to mention the Mountain Goats on this site and I don't even consider myself one of the superfans XP

All Hail West Texas - The Mountain Goats
Sweden - The Mountain Goats
Tallahassee - The Mountain Goats
69 Love Songs - The Magnetic Fields
III - Sebadoh
People That Can Eat People Are the Luckiest People in the World - Andrew Jackson Jihad
Knife Man - Andrew Jackson Jihad
The Glow, Pt. 2 - The Microphones
One Foot In The Grave - Beck
Mutations - Beck
Spiderland - Slint
Either/Or - Elliott Smith (I have to delve into the rest of his discography, unlike Bright Eyes I actually can enjoy this)
Good Kid, M.A.A.D City - Kendrick Lamar
Madvillainy - Madvillain (I have nothing interesting to offer when it comes to rap)

I'm reluctant to put down the entire Wolf trilogy for Tyler, The Creator. His flow isn't much but when listened to in order of the trilogy I think there's a lot more to the albums than when listened to release order.
