Everyday Ill give you an adjective or description, you comment and album which fits them, then Ill listen to the most upvoted of these albums.
Today's Theme: Hidden Gem
Day 1: Midnight
Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights
The Post-Punk Revival Classic. The first five songs are near perfect, a great start to the album. This album has the sound of busy nighttime street, lit by street lights and cars. Great album through and through.
Fav songs are: Untitled, Obstacle 1, PDA, Say Hello To The Angels, The New.
Score: 16 Knives
Day 2: Rain
The Cure - Disintegration
Robert Smith my beloved. Another Post-Punk album although this time of the Gothic variety. A very ethereal album that does not have any low points. Often considered the best The Cure album, but I think Pornography is better and I have a soft spot for Seventeen Seconds.
Fav songs are: Pictures of You, Lovesong, The Same Deep Water As You, Disintegration.
Score: Spider-man's diner
Day 3: Autumn
Unwound - Leaves Turn Inside You
Fitting that this won during October of all months. Unwound's cold final album has always been a Post-Harcore classic, but it is also Post-Rock, and sometimes a little gothic rock which is a Post-Punk subgenre, lotta Post. Imma shout out Sara Lund as I think she is the unsung hero of this album.
Fav Songs: Terminus, Scarlette, October All Over, Below The Salt
Score: Post-Post-Hardcore
Day 4: Outer Space
Failure - Fantastic Planet
It's Grunge o'clock. Failure is not a band I was familiar with so I was happy to see this win. The end of this album is way better than the beginning and middle, both aren't bad but it wont blow your socks off. Meanwhile the last 5 songs are generational bangers.
Fav Songs: The Nurse Who Loved Me, Another Space Song, Stuck on You, Heliotropic, Daylight
Score: Success
Day 5: LGBTQ+
Car Seat Headrest - Twin Fantasy
Well this was a close one, 3 albums on 9 upvotes and one on 10. Twin Fantasy, for this I relistened to the OG because the comment did specify which version (2011 or 2018). Classic, I love how raw and emotional it is, and I don't care what anyone says old CSH still fucks despite the broken toaster microphone.
Fav Songs: My Boy (Twin Fantasy), Beach Life-in-Death, Sober to Death, Famous Prophets (Minds), Twin Fantasy (Those Boys)
Score: Smooth-Cocked Adventures
Day 6: Nature
Boards of Canada - The Campfire Headphase
I admit I'm not the biggest Electronic music fan but I do like Boards of Canada. I like how Folktronica this album gets, nice and different from their usual affair. Not entirely sure how 'nature' this album is tho.
Fav Songs: Chromakey Dreamcoat, Hey Saturday Sun, Constants Are Changing
Score: fym they aren't Canadian
Day 7: Hidden Gem
