Drive Like Jehu - Yank Crime (1994)
A damn good post-hardcore/math rock album. It's angry, passionate, tight and has plenty of unexpected twists and turns. What more could you want?
Lowercase - Kill The Lights (1997)
I'd been listening to their final album The Going Away Present for a couple of months but this is even better. The album has a bit of a claustrophobic feel, especially the 12-minute closing track 'You're a King' which reminds of Swans a little bit. All in all a great noise rock/post-hardcore album.

This is a great album. Ulver have covered a lot of styles and they did them all brilliantly. My favourite album of theirs is Perdition City but their debut Bergtatt is an amazing black metal album.
