Addictive albums...

batreleaser · 04.15.2009, 01:02 PM

What are some records that are like crack and carbohydrates? recordsyou hear once and then dont leave your player. Ill start by saying the record im hooked on now, Scott Walker's Tilt. His experimental records are pretty addictive in general, strange sounds but in accessible pop format and one of the most unique singing voices ever. Ghost pop.

I have been listening to hardly any music in the past month or so, the only two things that I can have on are Drunkdriver's 'Born To Be Pregnant', which is a magnificient monument to energy and creativity, and Zola Jesus' 'Tsar Bomba', which is just a great record from start to finish. A few tracks here and there, but music isn't really cutting it for me as much as other stuff, at the moment, so those two records are the only ones I'm finding addictive.

Rob Instigator · 04.15.2009, 02:09 PM

it has been a long time since I have heard an album that, as a whole, got me and made me listen to it over and over and over again.
old and jaded? maybe.

hmmm

right now I'm on a Bealtes & A Tribe Called Quest binge.

& every time I hear Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers or Exile I gotta listen to the rest of them

Boris - Smile

the drunkdrver knifeday 7" is a great but short little recording too. they remind me off a noise damaged shred sesh between early black flag and early motorhead. i love the song on "born pregnant" "sick kid". its amazing a band like this could pull off such a perfect 6 minute song, i mean shit, they stretch out thier sound to fucking 12 minutes on "cure for the common cold". they are a band that has thier sound down so well that they can take it into unexpected places; they can slow down thier attack, add some more space, fill in gaps wth the feedback, ad just bang away for a wile, then at the same time they can still do one minute fist pumping fastfucks too.

summer · 04.15.2009, 08:45 PM

I love Wata's guitar on Smile. <3

Right now I'm addicted to uh.. D'Angelo's Voodoo, I guess.

batreleaser · 04.15.2009, 08:50 PM

pretty obsessed with all my kurt vile albums too. he has a super addictive sound. i have a feeling his music will prove life changing for some lost 15 year old out there, he has that quality.

Death & the Maiden · 04.15.2009, 08:52 PM

Malice Mizer are very addictive. But their albums are very hit and miss. The only album that isn't is the Tetsu's Last Live bootleg, which I listen to a lot, as well as a compilation that I made up, comprised mostly of their singles.

[Sandbag] · 04.15.2009, 09:48 PM

mansun - 'six' for one... just too many details, parts, and fragments that makes it almost impossible to get bored of it..i've discovered this album like one year ago and still rockin'.

demonrail666 · 04.15.2009, 10:10 PM

Can't stop playing this right now.

atsonicpark · 04.15.2009, 11:59 PM

Gotta agree, bat, that kurt vile stuff is addictive.

My most addictive album of all time is pink flag by wire. Bought 3 copies of that one because I listened to it so much.

The Earl Of Slander · 04.16.2009, 04:27 AM

A lot of Sonic Youth stuff is addictive to me, but I guess that's obvious considering the board.

I kind of move from addiction to addiction. Recently I've been completely obsessed with the new DOOM album, but I think I may slowly be transferring that love to the Bunny Gets Paid reissue.

Just off the top of my head, the albums I remember having the most intense, "on loop 24/7", addictions too are, in no particular order:

Boredoms - Super Ae

Wilco - A Ghost is Born

Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation

Captain Beefheart - Safe as Milk

Pharoah Sanders - Karma

Modest Mouse - The Lonesome Crowded West

Atlas Sound - Let the Blind Lead...

Jane’s Addiction – Nothing’s Shocking

My Bloody Valentine - Isn't Anything

Suicide - s/t

Neil Young -Zuma

Keiji Haino - Affection

Nick Drake - Bryter Layter

Shellac - At Action Park and Terraform

John Coltrane – “John Coltrane Plays”, and the rest of the classic quartet boxset really

Liz Phair - Exile in Guyville

Sebadoh - III

John Cale - The Island Years (Fear, Slow Dazzle and Helen of Troy, plus bonuses)

Huh. That list makes me look like much more of a traditional indie kid than the rest of my record collection owuld. I guess that's a sign of something about my tastes that I hadn't realised before...

I'm sure I've missed a ton of important ones. Weird thing is, it's not like that's an accurate list of my favourite albums (although many of them are), or even necessarily my favourite albums by those bands. They're just the ones that have really addictively gripped me. 30 seconds of any of those records and it can define what I listen to for the next month. Addiction is a funny thing.
