I was at a show the other night and my fellow drummer friend pulled up in his car. He was playing More Meat by Chad Smith's Bombastic Meatbats. I asked him what it was because I hadn't heard any of that project. I was indeed blown away. Their rendition of Moby Dick was stunning. Loved it. _________________ Attention all planets of the solar federation: We have assumed control.

which had been sitting in my "to listen to" list for years. Instant favourite, and, curiously enough, my 6-year old son tripped to it like a mofo. What an incredible record.
Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space by Spiritualized. For some reason I always thought that album was by Modest Mouse, and I wasn't really liking any of their other stuff so I kept putting it off, but the other day I decided to give it a listen, learned it was actually by Spiritualized, and enjoyed the most peaceful and floaty hour of my life. Awesome album that immediately made an impact on me. _________________ These are my favorite albums right now.
First listen earlier today. Don't know if 'blew my mind' is the best phrase, because it's subdued enough not really to be that sort of record. Anyway, I was that impressed though. _________________ Join us in the canon game :) / Add me on RYM
I can't really think of any albums that I would consider mind blowing except for The Velvet Underground & Nico for the many ways it follows up beautiful or slow tracks like Sunday Morning with dark or crazy s*&^ like Heroin or Venus in Furs. their 3rd one too, The Velvet Underground is another album for the way it follows up all of those acoustic tracks with The Murder Mystery, I remember being blown away by that for sure. Kid A was pretty mind blowing as a follow up to OK Computer. there are quite a few records to have their own unique sound/atmosphere that just puts them in their own league, incomparable to everything else.
if I grew up in the 60's though, when all there was to hear was jazz, motown, blues, and that very predictable if fun 50's rock... when suddenly Revolver hits and it's psychedelic, rebellious, experimental, hedonistic, AND extremely great music... that's prob the most mind-blowing record ever. we all just get to take it for granted these days. who can really guess where music would be right now if not for the Beatles...
Honestly it was this album, which is funny because I didn't much care for it the first time, but in my 2010s discovery of about 250 albums, this was the only one that I instantly fell in love with for some reason.
Goes to show that people change... and that listening to an album 3 times in one week won't always help you appreciate it more:
