Guess you took a wrong turn. This is SeriousBanter, where everything is taken at face value and laughter is not allowed.

tl;dr: sorry, bad day/week/month/year/life.

172.
166, 167 or however long the list is now:
Christian Mistress - Possession
2012 - Heavy Metal


The second album from US heavy metal band Christian Mistress. The vibe of this band in general is very proto-metal/classic rock, but it doesn't sound like tired 70's retreads at all. There's a lot elements of newer metal bands to trace in their sound if you listen carefully. This particular album sometimes reminds me of the first album from Megadeth.

The production style and sound quality of this album is absolutely amazing! The songs are very memorable and very well written, there's great riffs all over the album, lively drums and some very soulful vocals from frontwoman Christine Davis.

The songs Haunted Hunted and There is Nowhere are good enough that I'm convinced they would be part of the metal canon by now if only they'd been from an older era. 2012 may be too late for this style of music, but I say an album should be judged on the merits of the music, not on the context of the music scene it was released in.

I don't know what else to say, really. I love this album. The songs are all good, the album sounds great, the singer is soulful and so is the guitar playing. A truly memorable album with great cover artwork to boot. It should definitely be in the top 1001 in my opinion.

I am shocked not to see this in the list, but since someone already nominated my favourite album (Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?) I will nominate my second favourite album:

#174: The National - Boxer



Boxer is easily the National's finest album and one that has remained relevant to me for close to a decade. It's one of indie rock's staple albums, which is reason enough for its inclusion, but it deserves inclusion for the sense it evokes as well. It's dark, melancholy, and sounds like the fatigue that sets in from the endless repetition of meaninglessness that is adult life.

It isn't bleak or melodramatic, it's just tired. It's the soundtrack of going to work at a job that pays your bills for which you have no passion and coming home to a relationship that is at best, unfulfilling. It's the sound of settling for mediocrity, but not of despairing in it or pining for more. It's how it feels to realize that, once you reach adulthood, there's nothing else to strive for, just whatever you make from whatever you've got. It's one of the few albums I would call borderline perfect.

LastFM says I've listened to it more than 275 times.

EDIT: Oh, we're not still doing this and the list is all ****y. Oh well, I dunno what I expected.

Wow. It was, up until about two months ago, my favorite album, too! (Still one of my favorites.)

Edited some of the above posts to correct the count.

#175: Tim Buckley - Starsailor


Amazingly executed and dynamic record. Buckley leads the listener through jazz fusion, sultry psychedelic ballads, orchestral climaxes, electrified a capella tracks, and much more. I slept on this record for way too long, don't make the same mistake.

#176: Shabazz Palaces - Black Up



Bizarro trap music from space full of heavy kicks, psychedelic leads, jazzy rhythms, unconventional structure, and distorted, disjointed rhymes and delivery. A different voice from what people usually have in their heads when it comes to modern hip hop.

#177: Richard Dawson - Nothing Important


Is it still American Primitivism when it's done by an English artist? Whatever the case is, Dawson's guitar pulls influence from modern primitivists like Sir Richard Bishop and Bill Orcutt and nods at the Canterbury scene and Beefheart. Dawson's playing is raw and unhinged while still maintaining a warmth and familiarity. Even though I'm enthralled by the instrumental elements of this album, it's strongest suit is the lyrics. Imagery driven, nonlinear, and emotive stories of loss of memory and past rebellion, all made more poignant by Dawson's (seemingly drunken) bellows, wails, and whispers. This is a very compelling album on all fronts and deserves a listen.

Actually I don't, they're good albums and I've heard them all a ton, but Boxer is soooooooo the best of them.
