I'm on mobile, so I can't add it right now, but Neina's "Subconsciousness" is another great Glitch album from 2000, which is the year the genre peaked. It's actually pretty accessible for Glitch, and I'd consider this to be a decent intro to the genre for those that are unfamiliar.
Bay, you listened to Yoni Wolf on cLOUDDEAD, so now listen to him with his project WHY?

This is a fascinating left field album that blends singing, rapping, and something in between over indie instrumentals. The highlight is "Fatalist Palmistry", an indie pop jam. From what I gather he plays an alternate version of himself on this, and even when Wolf's character is not likable, the music is listenable. It can be all over the place, but it stays interesting. I get the feeling I've just scratched the surface and this could be a grower. I only wish it were a little less depressive so it would be easier to go back to. 3.5/5.

These guys really are master craftsmen of the build aren't they? So much tension below the surface that takes it's time but erupts with such power when it breaks free. Great atmosphere throughout. An experience to listen to, that I would happily do again. The third GY!BE album I've heard and I would place it just below Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven, with an 8/10, and 15/45 for 1997, and good enough to just make into my decade chart for now at 94/100.
Baystate you must have listened to a lot of Antonio-Pedro's chart if the choices go down to #95! WORRY. is a decent album.

Since Penderecki wrote this music to honor the 1000th anniversary of Poland's conversion to Christianity, it's fitting that he would devise something uniting the medieval Catholic mass with modernist practices. It would have been disappointing if he had ignored either. And yet, at its core, this work yields the same intended purpose of any biblical settings of This would have sounded like something ripped from a nightmare a thousand years ago, and persecuted for its atonal nature, yet in 1966 Penderecki risked similar treatment for the work's religious tone. The more things change, the more they stay the same?
I can also thank Penderecki for getting me to think about tone clusters harmonically, which I'm sure is a tricky technique, given that the parts are also melodically atonal (this might be an element of Cowell's music that I overlooked). The theory is way over my head, but the astonishing nature of the music speaks to its merit.

Purple, that chart's very outdated, and I plan to change at least half of the albums soon, but I doubt that I'll find time this week unfortunately. Anyways have fun with this one, I still love all of the albums there. _________________ Overall chart Fake overall chart

Au contraire, Rooster is one of my favourite songs from the 90's and I've seen Alice In Chains live (post Layne Staley) however you are correct I haven't heard any of their albums. Back then I never had access to any - Nirvana, Mudhoney, Soundgarden, Janes Addiction, and Pearl Jam were getting my priority, and poor AIC and STP unfortunately missed out. Post streaming I just haven't gotten around to it yet...but they would have been my first choice for myself from this selection from LedZep's chart.
Was not expecting to find controversey surrounding a random Krautrock album from the 70s, but I did! Turns out, this probably is not from the 70s at all! In fact, discogs does not even list a 1973 Pyramid records release for this album. Instead, the earliest was a 1995 reissue that got this album some playtime in the first place. From what I can piece together through comments on youtube, RYM, and discogs, no one really knows if this album is legit or not. No actual 1973 copies have ever been seen, so I'm banking on it not being real. But, does it really matter? Some purist folks seem to be in a frenzy over this album being "faked". However, in my mind, you can't really fake good music, which is what is on this album. If it were released in 1973 it's great, and if it was released in 1995, then it's still good. It's not like the people who made this have really profited, because no one knows who they are. And what a great "fake" this is, because I can easily hear it being part of a greater whole within each psychedelic scene. Long story short, the music's enjoyable, so I don't really care when it was made or who made it. ๐ (PS the chord progression in the final song "The Returning" is very 90s. There's absolutely no way this was made in the 70s :D)
Jameth, since you've so graciously taken the time with the bulk of my chart, and you seem to like to do your research along with it, I'll help you out here and give you an extra credit reading assignment written by Henry Flynt himself to accompany his music. He's a pretty interesting dude I think. This essay can be on the pompous and elitist side at times, but what he has to say about truly "American" music is profound.

Voodoo by D'Angelo
It's baffling how I've never found time to listen to the legendary D'Angelo. I can see why this album is being held in such a high regard, and although I have a few issues with it, I like it. The main concern is the lack of live instrumentation which I always like to hear on RnB/Soul albums, and also the album is quite long, some songs are even too long for their own good. That being said I still enjoyed the production, but it could use some punch from time to time. Overall, t's a very groovy and enjoyable listen, with standouts Devil's Pie, Left & Right and Untitled (How Does It Feel). 8/10

This is basically an amalgamation of so much music tradition from Roy Orbison, Beatles, Elton John, Massive Attack, Muse, Radiohead, etc... so of course it's number one. While I loved every moment of it, I fell in love with it based on my first sentence, so I think I want to listen to it a bit more to see if I fall in love with this production specifically or is it more the influences I already love/appreciate. Not trying to call her a rip off at all, that'd be wrong.

Glad you liked it! According to the Wikipedia article, which is a fairly good read, there's live instrumentation on all but Untitled, although often it seems to be a mix of live instrumentation and programmed drums. I love all three, but Black Messiah is probably his most organic-sounding album, and my favorite. _________________ Join us in the canon game :) / Add me on RYM
