itt: albums that changed your life
how
I'll bite
after listening to this album i then knew what it sounded like
The album that make me take hiphop seriously and stop being le wrong generation.
sleep research facility - deep freeze
it helps me get to sleep im a lot less tired now
>>53271979
I've never connected to an album as much as I did with this one. It brought me to tears, and really transcended anything that I've come to expect from music
>>53271954
how
>>53272066
how is that "life changing"?
>>53272093
Changed my perception of music
cliche, but
>>53272103
you must not have a very complex or interesting life.
>>53272016
now youll just have to revert back when you realize theres not much there outside of a handful of artists
>>53272237
Well your quite the depressing box of shit, aren't ya champ?
Probably the closest I've come to an religious experience.
Really? I can see 'dragging a dead deer', but boat is so underwhelming and definitely not lifechanging material
>>53272328
everyone experiences music differently
>>53272237
Music has the power to control shit dude. Fashion mainly but also the way people think and act.
I mean look at what Mac Miller, Wiz Khalifa and A$AP Rocky did to a whole generation. For the worse in my opinion, but yeah you get the point.
>>53272257
>theres not much there outside of a handful of artists
That's true for every genre, even dadrock
It's just easier to avoid bad dadrock because it's not on the radio anymore like all the bad memeraps
>>53271992
how
This album got me into the idea of an album as a whole project and not just as a collection of different songs. It really opened up my mind when I was like 14. I'm not sure if I like it as much now as I did back then, but it's still a great album.
>>53272016
Same, and i'll add Deltron too.
>>53272237
if music doesn't have the power to change your life and i doesn't happen every once in a while, you should maybe approach another artform
This album made me realise you don't need guitars and distortion for a great album. I can't put in words how different this was for me, how amazed I was when the album first finished.
This album opened up a whole new area of music for me, and truly broadened my taste. This applies to radiohead as a whole really, and while I haven't listened to them for a year or so now, they will always be special to me
>>53272315
This is the album that got me into post-rock, even if I don't listen to the genre as much as I used to. GYBE was huge when I started browsing /mu/ a few years ago and that's how I discovered them. They still are posted often, but back then there was so much more discussion about them. Anyway, great album and I hope they put some new stuff out including Behemoth.
I had heard 'For Respect', 'Don Caballero 2' and 'What Burns never returns' before this One, And I loved those Albums
But this Album...
This Album was the soundtrack to some of the confusing times in my life.
the Track 'I never liked you' fills me with that child-like excitement that you come across very rarely in adult life.
>>53273472
I wish I could have been a radiohead fan around the release of Kid A. Can't imagine how hearing it for the first time must have been
>>53273539
My godfather was a huge fan of The Bends and OK Computer, and hated Kid A when it first came out.
I sat in a room with him, and we listened to Kid A all the way through, and at the end he was crying, he couldn't believe what he had missed.
Turns out he just stopped the CD as soon as he heard synths. He then followed the hate train and didn't try again, until 12 years later when I played it to him
>>53273589
the fuck
>>53273436
me too. the same situation as you
Certainly on hip hop
This album and Junior by Royksopp; those were the first serious albums I've ever listened (Before that I only listened to the nº 1 shit in the radios), thanks to this albums I later discovered more great music.
Then I discovered The Butcher/Supercollider by Radiohead and my mind blew up.
Became my favourite band from that opening riff. And getting into the rest of their discography and listening to the bands they listed as influences got me into shoegaze, ambient, drone, trip-hop, noise, decent pop rock, instead of just metal, classical and dad-rock. So maybe not literally changed my LIFE, but had a huge impact on my music tastes.
>>53272312
why?
>>53273711
Listening to Ayreon got me into so many great bands because of all the guest singers. First time I heard Anneke was on the Electric Castle album.
Found these guys a few years ago, ended up leaning so much about albums and production of music in general. I'm always trying to find stuff like this but never can. Downward is Heavenward is amazing too.
Somehow it made me realize that I'm capable of writing songs. Can't thank it enough for that.
>>53272237
music has an effect on your emotions, which in turn influence your thoughts and actions. duh. so yeah having ones perception/outlook in that field changed can make a more or less noticeable difference.
these guys probably had the biggest impact on me overall. listened to nothing else in grade 10, at some point i thought it was me going back in time to help write those lyrics, so my then-present-self had some kind of guidance. yeah i was kinda retarded and still am.
>>53272315
Only just started trying this out, loving the idea of 4 mega tracks
>>53273792
Have you heard Endless Sea yet? Can't wait for the Gentle Storm album! By the end of August I'll have seen Anneke live 13 times (14 if she plays Albert Hall) in 6 different countries :D
>>53273832
you're not.
>>53272315
i remember when i pissed myself when listening to this album
>>53273920
Story please
>>53273920
i did to because i laughed at how retarded it was
>>53273832
you can
>>53273832
if this was one of those social media things i'd give you a thumbs up or a like or whatever
>>53273694
same
>>53273586
faggots
>>53273902
Just listened and I'm definitely looking forward to that. Wikipedia says Marcela Bovio is doing backing vocals for live performances, so I really hope there's some good live recordings down the road.
>>53271954
If some acoustic strumming and lots of reverb changed your life, you should really rethink your life.
Literally none
Some albums might have changed my taste or my perception of music as a whole, but not my life because I'm not an emotive faggot
>>53274109
This this this this. Pic related changed my perception of music but I wouldn't say it changed my whole life.
>>53274109
>>53274126
emotionless straight males
>>53274135
>emotionless
Are you acting retarded on purpose? Having emotions =/= being emotive
Made me realize what a neurotic asshole I was and convinced me to start enjoying life for what it is
>>53274126
Fucking love this record, it's weird how it's pretty rarely discussed here
This record got me to give rap a second chance.
This got me through the last stages of high school and depression, and it also taught me to take my life easy
>>53272237
said the guy posting on 4chan
come on, don't be such a dick
>>53273920
Like.. literally?
>>53272066
What's truly sad is this album is mostly outtakes and b sides she didnt put on Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill
>>53274167
if course I am
Gave me the courage to perfrom my sex change surgery.
>>53274093
Stream of Passion are supporting for the UK tour, love them as well. Other ex-Arjen project. SoP always put on a great performance as well.
>>53274413
we're proud of you, anon
>>53274413
Congrats, anon
<3
This album completely ruined my life in many ways.
>>53274561
How? Did it convert you to neo-Nazism or something?
>>53274561
>listening to skrewdriver

>>53274413
lame as fuck
>>53274413

I'm a significantly weaker person now
>>53271954
cliche, but it did
>>53274413
faggot
>>53273573
are you me? that album made me cry so many times it's so fucking dreamy and good
>>53274675
What do you mean by weaker

I don't care how cool you guys think whatever you like is, over my long years of music exploration, this band seems the pinnacle, the more you know about the band the more you realize its legit the best thing humans have ever done period. Go listen to it.

Don't know if it changed my life but it definitely changed my entire perception of Hip Hop and music as a whole in some sense
I guess Endtroducing probably changed my life a little bit
>>53272066
You are a pussy.
>>53274413
lmao, if this is bait it's amazing
pic related got me into albums
Ágætis byrjun and DSoTM got me into good music
>>53274197
Confirmed good taste.
>>53272237
>not having your life sublimated by music
oh boy, you surely don't have a very complex or interesting or worthwile life.
>>53273789
Shit yeah bro
I get really emotional when I hear this album now

Jesus, anon.
coming through
>>53275696
Got a Blank Space where the good old D used to be.
>>53276085
Definitely, ''The Past is a grotesque animal'' got me into George Bataille's and his dark twisted writing.
>>53274109
>>53274126
changing your perception of music does change your life
I listened to this for the first time stoned and on shrooms. I started gardening and I've got a few bonsai trees and shit now. Shit gave me a new hobby and daily routine other than wake up wanting to fucking kill myself.
I used to be a dumb close-minded metalhead before I listened to this album.
When I listened the it really annoyed me at first, but I got back at it and feel in love, its my favorite album now.
Also after falling in love with this album, I went to a "indie" music festival which was the best experience of my life and my best memory.
I'd also consider myself an opener and more understandable person now.
Thank you /mu/.
Long story I couldn't tell you without being called emofag
>>53276349
That's so fucking cool.
So hard.
>>53276184
Yeah but not in a huge significant way.
>>53271954
this is the background on my computer. good taste op
>>53276349
This whole post is A+.
>>53276416
May and may not.
>>53276416
wrong.
>>53274675
i feel you
>>53276416
well if music is a big part of your life, that would be a substantial life changer
>>53276428
>>53276392
thanks. I'll try to gather some of the plants I've got growing and the bonsais another time and maybe post them in an appropriate thread. I've currently got a twisted trunk (I don't know what type of tree it is, first one I got and bought it from walmart on a whim), I'm growing an azaelea slant and working on a semi cascade green carpet. I've also got 2 orange trees, a lime tree, some aloe vera, a couple cacti and I'm starting my seeds for some vegetables this year. Picked up cabbage, bell peppers, jalapenos and basil.
>>53272016
go back to le wrong generation. your shit taste is deteriorating even more
>>53276349
that's fucking amazing. have you ever played it to your plants?
>>53276512
yeah, of course. In the mornings now I go and sit on the back porch with a cup of green tea and play it and if I'm not working I take a few rips and just relax, if I do work I typically just meditate.
>>53276506
Find a qt gardener gf u stud. Also please make that thread.
>>53273586
When motion picture soundtrack hits, hearing that after everything, especially that aggressive ending in morning bell, is extremely emotional to me
It basically introduced me to /mu/ and got me really interested in post rock, which went onto shoegaze.
I'm learning guitar now and i'm going to start a band (maybe 2) when my internet friend comes to NY. Spiderland was a "tipping point" for me and Good Morning, Captain is one of my favorite songs of all time
>>53273767
this and pic related
i was tired of "mainstream" genres (inb4 hipster), then i listened to this
>>53272016
Go back to reddit
>>53276538
you sound like someone trying to cope with a large amount of pain
what other music do you find soothing? do you avoid "depressive" music because it can make you ... depressed?
>>53276538
What happened to you man? Girl break your heart really brutally?
>>53276506
this makes me so happy c:
good for you anon
>>53277801
>>53277773
forgive my spelling, I'm already at work and my phone is kind of odd. I grew up in a pretty poor family, worked since I was 12, had a best friend fuck a girlfriend of mine, started doing harder drugs and drinking, worked at a pizza place where my boss would pull guns on people, got stabbed twice while there by people trying to get gang initiated and had to stab a couple. Got baker acted twice and im diagnosed with bipolar and schizoaffective.
Things are better now though
>>53278086
I also listen to a lot of classical and music with moving horn pieces amd ambient. I used to be really into metal but that's pretty well waned since I came to /mu/
>>53273833
is that u?
>>53278086
Holy shit dude. All power to you on getting through that much shit.
>>53278244
haha. here I go to listen to Tool's "Vicarious"
This will be fun.
>>53277677
dat thumbnail switch
I remember I read this tinymixtapes review where they explained that an album that "changes your life" shouldn't be an album that you love, but an album that actually made you think about things differently.
I actually thought this album was a huge letdown, but the previously released tracks have completely changed my listening habits and to a certain degree my personality. Most of the music i had listened to before was very dour and dark; it was like i used music as an emotional crutch. Then I heard Attracting Flies, and I realized "Hey, music should be fun! it should be fun, sexy, innovative, melodic, etc." And so I got more into rnb, hiphop, pop, electronic stuff, etc. I'd say it's made me a brighter person
>>53274675
I played this album and knife man a bunch when I was in my early teens
totally helped me become a more empathetic person and helped with my deconversion from religion
man I love AJJ
>>53272016
are u me?
>>53272383
>music has the power to control shit... fashion mainly...
music has literally never affected my fashion. you're speculating and speaking from your own personal experience. music doesn't control anything, you do. it simply provides an experience and environment in which change is conducive
>>53277677
are you a wizard?
This one for me, it helps me become less stressed and nervous whenever my anxiety/social anxiety starts to get bad, its just so calming.
>>53273767
Yup yuP yup
Made me want to get close to nature
So I did
>>53279090
Hip hop music has changed casual fashion
>>53276506
You sound like a cool dude, if we went to high school together, I'd like to think we'd hang out a few times and jam
>>53273812
Criminally overlooked post. Matt Talbott's production is fantastic.
>>53271954
Alien Observer tho
>>53273436
agree with you, this fucking album changed my life exactly how you described. i first heard it when I was
14-15 and it fucking made my jaw drop
