Waves of beautiful guitars and blissful vocals. This album took Kevin Shields a couple of years to produce and you can tell it was definitely worth it. This is an insanely unique and original album and its Kevin Shields masterpiece. It makes sense why he didnt make another album for 22 years because its hard to top perfection. 10/10

This albums so ahead of its time. It's the debut album by the Velvet Underground from 1967 which is surprising considering its still a massive inspiration to modern music. First of all the lyrics, they're so goddamn dark and poetic. Going over themes of prostitution, drug overdose, drug dealing, sex. Which is insane considering all the other music released in 1967 going over themes nowhere near as dark as these. The sound is incredibly original with some songs have strong distorted guitar and heavy thudding drums. Whereas some songs have beautiful sounding guitar melodies. Lou Reed's voice is so iconic for this album and it definitely inspired other singers with much deeper sounding voices to be singers and of course Nico's beautiful yet haunting voice pairs well with Lou's. One of the most influential albums from one of the most influential bands ever. I forgot to mention about the song Heroin. This song is by far in my opinion one of the greatest songs ever written lyrically and instrumentally. The lyrics tell the story of a man who doesn't know where he's going in life so he decides to take in heroin and at first it makes him feel powerful and amazing but as the song progresses it slowly becomes more and more evident that heroin's making his life worse and he's dying but he doesn't care because he's better off dead than alive knowing how depressing his life is. The instruments in this are amazing with a slow quiet guitar which slowly becomes more and more violent paired with the screeching violin and the bass drum representing this dying mans heart beat getting faster and faster as he takes the drug then slowing down as he's dying. Jesus this songs a masterpiece. That's all I can say

What happens when you get the perfect rhymer and hip hop lyricist and the greatest hip hop producer and make them make an album together. You get Madvillainy. This album is the magnus opus album by famous hip hop MC MF DOOM and producer Madlib who create what many to consider the greatest hip hop album ever. I find it hard to disagree with them because this album is truly great from opener "Accordion" to closing track "Rhinestone Cowboy" there's a non stop amazing flow on each song. There's not much else to say besides the interludes of voices throughout each track I respect a lot and it helps the flow of leading each song into the next. This album is just an incredibly unique and different hip hop album that will inspire generations of hip hop down the line.
