I'd like to listen to some metal, but the hoarse, yelled vocals are slightly off-putting. Can anyone suggest transitional albums for a post-hardcore, post-rock, noise rock fan? I don't know if this is metal, but I really enjoy Boris's Amplifier Worship, especially "Hama".
Has a catchy slogan that goes sth like: All the metal, none of those harsh vocals. LOL. Great metallic post-rock and their from IL too!! Buy local. ๐

Thanks Repo and Gowi!! I immediately enjoyed Pelican, Jesu, Cynic, and Neurosis - I'll return to the others when I become more familiar with the genre.

well i'm like totally ignorant about hip hop, some suggestions please?
I'll just list what I think are totally essential hip-hop albums:
It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back and Fear of a Black Planet by Public Enemy
The Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders by A Tribe Called Quest
Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers by Wu-Tang Clan
Illmatic by Nas
The Infamous by Mobb Deep
Resurrection and Be by Common
Liquid Swords by GZA
Mos Def & Talib Kweli are Black Star by Black Star
Madvillainy by Madvillain
Late Registration and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye West
RTJ2 by Run the Jewels
good kid, m.A.A.d city and To Pimp a Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
On a side-note, you should also check out trip-hop if you haven't already. My favorite albums from this genre would be Blue Lines and Mezzanine by Massive Attack, Dummy and Third by Portishead, Homogenic by Bjork and Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow.

First off, I wholeheartedly second Mr. Fingers' Ammnesia. Even though it's a compilation of early 12" singles, it just contains some of the most soulful, most vital house music ever made.
I don't know how much you're familiar with, but here are some things that you really ought to check out...
Basically the blueprint for modern techno, though how much direct influence it actually had is pretty debatable. How much you enjoy it will probably depend on your tolerance for repetition, but it's essential listening. Beautiful simplicity.
Maybe a bit of a long shot - might be too minimal for you. Their 2009 album, Atavism, is a bit more varied, and certainly plays more with time structures, so if there's even the slightest bit of interest in them you should also check that out.
All of the above are things I think you'll enjoy based on your chart and what you've said on the forums in recent days. Didn't know whether to go heavy on the classics or not. A lot of these are releases from the last couple of years, but they sprung to mind as things you'd enjoy. _________________ 2021 in full effect. Come drop me some recs. Y'all know what I like.
I'm going to be a little broad here, but can you guys give me the last album that has stunned you? Like, the last album you've heard that has completely amazed you or impressed you, that you've given a high rating to. Thanks. _________________ ...and for dessert!
