Somehow I gravitated to the drumming in this the most. I liked a review somewhere that said it was "equally quaint and disturbing" hehe. Anyway, I feel like REM must've listened to this because there's aspects of this in their UP album 3 years later. I dug the album even if it took me a few tries.

went ahead and listened to Discipline by KC as well. This 1973 album is as good as I remembered vaguely. It is a cool, equal parts cerebral and physically intense album. The grooves and the quasi-metal parts are so awesome, inspired and intimidating. The more hushed and subdued tracks and the more beautiful melodic bits are also stunning and the band manages to marry these cool sounds excellently here. I may still love Red the most, I mostly feel like Red is just one of the ultimate statement rock records i've ever heard, on this they almost achieve that same level of almost scary intensity while also doing more light stuff beautifully as well. Title track part 1 is one of their best songs that I've heard. Its just so eerie the way it builds and then so awe-inspiring the way it culminates and explodes.
The band here is superb of course. I think Yes of this era is better than KC ever was, but this is about as close as any band I've heard has come to matching the chemistry and brilliance of 1971-1974 Yes.
Discipline which I'm finishing up now as I write this is also great and has a chance to be there at the top tier of King Crimson favorites alongside their debut and Red. Its really a wild departure from their earlier sound.

@RoundTheBend, have not heard any of them. But I'll respect the gent's taste and pick the highest ranked one...
Just albums and mixtapes now. Pretty straight forward. The asterisk before some albums indicates I have never listened to this album. All of these, including ones with no asterisk, are quite vague and faint in my recollection and need revisits.
1. Deathconsciousness by Have A Nice Life/2008/RYM #116 all time album/mixtape (yeah I heard this in a very very workmanlike fashion, just kinda listening to it to get it listened to and out of the way maybe a year ago or 2. I remember thinking it was way way too somber and dark for my tastes especially at the time. But I just went and listened to that GYBE album and in listening to that I decided to make sure I wasn't giving short shrift to any albums before Ex Military and found this and found that I can't remember much about it except that I didn't like it. Need to revisit. May still not be a favorite but will pay closer attention this time.)
2. Exmilitary by Death Grips/2011/RYM #130 all time album/mixtape (I included mixtapes and voila! This appeared and I realized I've never seen this famous album on a RYM list before because I never ever included mixtapes! Anyway, I have heard this. When it came out. Should revisit.)
3. Powerslave by Iron Maiden/1984/RYM #169 all time album/mixtape (I don't think I've ever finished listening to this. If I have, I don't remember. One of the all time great metal records yet Maiden has always been something I don't love or even usually like)
*4. You Will Never Know Why by Sweet Trip/2009/RYM #187 all time album/mixtape (Here is a well timed one what with sweet trip releasing their much anticipated follow up after 12 years last week. Have heard their 2003 album. For this game actually)
*5. The End of Evangelion by Shiro Sagisu/1997/RYM #188 all time album/mixtape (Here is one that is COMPLETELY new to me. Really the rare highly ranked album where I really have no concept of what to expect... OH and I'll listen to what I assume is the related highly related EP as well.)
6. Geogaddi by Boards of Canada/2002/RYM #210 all time album/mixtape (Music Has The Right To Children at one point kinda took over my life and was on my overall chart briefly. Need to relisten to that as well but overall pretty familiar. This one, however, while i've heard it a couple times I never feel like I gave it ample time. Really wanna listen and listen good.)
*7. Mount Eerie by The Microphones/2003/RYM #225 (Ah yes another Mount Eerie/Microphones classic that I have never heard. Have yet to hear a release I truly deeply like by this artist, but have consistently been fascinated by his style and personality and thus I am interested in hearing this one as well finally.
*8. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son by Iron Maiden/1988/RYM #232 (Another Maiden classic that I've never heard. I never listened to this because I for some reason felt I should listen to Powerslave first. Is that weird? Idk. Anyway, here it is.)
*9. Post by Björk/1995/RYM #234 (And here is a classic from one of the all time greats. I think I've heard this. Hell, this may have been nominated awhile ago on this very thread. But I can't remember much about it. So yeah I am interested in hearing it. Borderline love Homogenic and kinda dislike Vespertine. This difference always perplexed me... they are very different albums but the sheer drop off in enjoyment is weird to me. Anyway, this seems to be her third most adored album ever.)
10. Kyuss [Welcome to Sky Valley] by Kyuss/1994/#238 all time album/mixtape (A total classic I never have listened to i don't think. Stoner metal always seemed like a stupid and shallow genre name and maybe that is partially what made it less likely I'd run across this. IDK. But anyway, I think I kinda need to hear this for my musical education if nothing else.) _________________ -Ryan

Ilana (The Creator) by Mdou Moctar
I'm actually fairly familiar with Tishoumaren as a genre, although I've never intentionally delved into its history or the most famous bands. It's just that I've seen Bombino live a few times, listened to that compilation Music From Saharan Cellphones (that's not exclusively Tishoumaren, only several songs) and my dad plays Tinariwen sometimes. So I kind of knew what to expect when I decided to do a double feature of Ilana: The Creator and his new one Afrique Victime. They're both very good, modern blues rock albums with psychedelic edge. And there's of course a lot of traditional Tuareg music elements thrown in. Good songwriting throughout, but especially on the song Tarhatazed. That one was slightly more rock than the others and also longer, which is awesome. It evolved from the great intro to fantastic riffs to some solid shredding in the solo section. Overall it's consistent and fun, other highlights include the title track, the closer Tumastin and Anna. The second half was better, more blues rock than pure blues, but the closer had some acoustics as well.
The new one, I think it's equally good and much for the same reasons. 7.5/10

(after posting... I saw this cover. I have never seen the above picture... but this is indeed the only "Mount Eerie by The Microphones" on this site. So yeah this is the 2003 microphones album. )
Well okay, so... this is interesting. This brand of folk is so alien to what I look for in folk or expect in folk and its brilliant and it reinvents formulas and that is cool. I am of 2 minds... on one hand I think he is not a technically proficient musician, and sometimes I feel like the droning and the weird skeletal quality of the music is necessary because he can't play technical folk music. I'm not explaining it well, although if I did explain it well it would still sound snobbish and bullshit. On the other hand, 2, is I think the fact that he isn't a great acoustic guitarist BUT a brilliantly imaginative creative person, makes him work out ways around more traditional musical bits to create whole other worlds of music. If he had the technical ability of Kristian Mattson would he still need to reinvent folk and create these strange avant folk creations? Not sure.
But... as for this album... its more focused and atmospheric in a consistent way than the slightly more famous album from a couple years earlier (the one with the elephant, forget the name, nevermind just remembered) The Glow Part 1. I didn't love The Glow Part 1. In that comment I mentioned that this quirky, weird, seemingly unfocused, brittle, undoubtedly creative and unique brand of folk just wasn't for me. I am not a traditionalist or whatever, I just like more structure and hard lines and clear songs in my music generally and The Glow was just too fragmented for me. THIS album has cool tribal drums, and cool long droney bits, and interesting metaphors and narratives and there are just 5 tracks that tell interesting musical stories and that is cool. I think as of now Microphones/Mount Eerie is a massively loved modern musical entity that still has not quite broken through to me. Of the half dozen albums I've now heard from him, I have respected all of them, liked half of them *including this album here) and even the ones I didn't like I respected the creativity. BUT i've still not loved any album of his. 2020 and A Crow Looked At Me were brave and direct statements of where he was when making them and I respect the fuck out of them but almost never felt any inclination to listen again. This album and the Glow are respectable and creative but not really my taste. And as for Dawn... I think I heard it but can't remember anything about it.
Okay, that is all. I've rambled enough. This was good, I liked it more than The Glow and yeah that is all.

Technical/Progressive Death Metal from the dawn of the 1990s sounds kinda cool.) _________________ -Ryan
Well this is certainly quite different from Trout Mask Replica! Their debut album finds them making a blend of blues rock, psych rock, and garage rock that's not exactly sonically groundbreaking. They sound very similar to lots of contemporaneous bands on the Nuggets comps, while Beefheart's vocals are clearly cribbed from blues singers like Howlin' Wolf. The band has impressive instrumental chops, and nearly half the album consists of great songs. My favorite is I'm Glad, where they make a surprisingly strong straightforward soul song. Other standouts include Zig Zag Wanderer, Electricity, and Autumn's Child. While it might not always be original, it's a fun album throughout, and one that may grow on me with future listening. 3.5/5.

Unfortunately I couldn't find this album on spotify or youtube, so I listened to as many of the individual songs as I could find on youtube, some of which I could only find live performances, and some I coudn't find at all. Which means I am not going to able to rate or rank it. It's a shame though as I really did like what I heard and would like to listen to it in full. The pedal steel guitar was the star of the show in this gospel influenced soulful rhythym & blues jam album. The John Lennon cover was really cool.

Clocking in at over an hour, this is not your typical EP, but that's alright with me. How To Leave Town finds Will Toledo in top form, crafting nine noisy, lo-fi, elaborate, ambitious, existential, depressive indie rock songs. The record is bookended by two 11+ minute epics, both with unconventional song structures and unexpected twists and turns. However, these characteristics are are also present on a number of the shorter tracks, making them more the exception than the rule. I'm hard pressed to pick a favorite track after the first listen, but I expect I'll be returning to this in the not too distant future. Not too soon though - this is such a downer lyrically that it put me in a bit of a funk myself. At least that's counterbalanced by the joy of experiencing a great record for the first time. It may even be a contender for his best work. 4/5.

Okay so this is one I thought was good. Solid. I enjoyed it. Didn’t love it. Not sure what is missing because in theory this should be my jam, art pop, confessional and emotional, consistently well written lyrics, awesome hooks and production, etc. it may come down to her vocals - they are famous and unique and for me really really odd. When she really goes off and gets intense it’s a sound to behold. But sometimes it’s just extremely (intentionally) awkward and strained. Kinda takes me out of it sometimes. Also some times all the cool interesting elements don’t coalesce well and sound again awkward. Anyway, I think it’s Homogenic>Post>Vespertine in my mind. Glad I heard this and absorbed it and i respect her, but yeah I think it’s not some of my fave 90s music.

At The Mountains Of Madness by Electric Masada
Been a while, both because I was busy listening to the 2020 albums for the bracket, and also because it was very difficult to find this album (ended up buying a physical copy). But wow, was it worth it. This captures the perfect blend of free improv with hard jazz and even some klezmer and metal influences strung throughout. I have to say I think it ran a little long, and I slightly preferred the Moscow set (disc 1) to the Ljubljana set (disc 2), however both were very good. And despite the same compositions appearing in both sets, they often sound very different due to the elaborate solos that the band members take. In addition to John Zorn's sax, the three (!) drummers on the album really highlight the extraordinary talent of these musicians. Glad I listened to this.

The End Of Evangelion by 鷺巣詩郎 [Shiro Sagisu]
@Mercury, check this out. It's an anime film soundtrack and the music is all over the place, but the best tracks are a blend of classical and pop. Just a heads up, all songs from the EP are included on the full album. I believe the EP is more of a "sampler". It does however contain three of the best tracks on the album.
3)
In much the same vein as Mercury, I'm heavily considering re-tooling my pool of albums to choose from (partially because of how difficult the Electric Masada album was to find lol), but for now I'll continue with the (mostly) live albums.

- Symphony No. 9 [Beethoven] by Berliner Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan (interestingly, I've heard the 1977 Berlin Philharmonic/Karajan recording of Beethoven's 9th, but the entry at RYM appears to refer to the 1963 recording)

Here I am rock you like a hurricane, it’s been quite some time. Well, I delayed listening to this for various reasons. Apart from being immersed in Mingus, I also wanted to pull myself together after the turbulent times of As Days Get Dark by Arab Strap, which was the previous album I was assigned here. Plus EyeKanFly called this his album of the year, so I had to make sure I take my time with it and give it the attention it deserved. After three and a half listens – there were four of them, but one was under dubious circumstances, so it barely counts - I have to admit I still don’t know, I guess it’s one of those albums you aren’t supposed to take seriously. Actually, let me rephrase, the less seriously you take it, the better it sounds. The best way I could describe this is that a couple of friends got together, were a bit bored and thought let’s make an album and make sure we have a good time. This is all over the map and never approaches tedious or repetitive territory, it keeps its entertainment value rather high throughout its entire running time, as it has various aces up its sleeve. For example, Disconnexion adds a country twist that seemingly comes out of nowehere. Foreigner sounds like something Daft Punk would have made if they were a Britpop band, go figure. Also, I understand that you (EyeKanFly I mean) really like Muse, so maybe that’s why you found this so relatable, Lâcher de chevaux is like Knights Of Cydonia meets Take A Bow with a touch of The 2nd Law as well. The language barrier was a non-factor for me, I don’t think profound lyrics is what they were going for anyway. I would argue towards the opposite direction, ie. the aesthetics of the French language contributed to the catchy, ear-pleasing outcome. So, it’s a bit like a B-movie, it may be a guilty pleasure, but a pleasure nonetheless - hopefully this didn't sound too harsh, apologies if it did.
Wonderful writeup. I do indeed love Muse, and there are quite a few similarities. Your point about not taking the music too seriously is on point as well. I treat Muse the same way (whether they take themselves seriously I've never been able to tell), and not to mention I love some other "non-serious" artists like Meat Loaf (well really just the first Bat Out of Hell). Thanks for checking this one out! _________________ 51 Washington, D.C. albums!

Anyway - if not interested, you can just listen to Beethoven's 9th on your list (1963). I feel like RYM has a good classical community, but their choices aren't 100% the best either.
