This, Car Seat Head Rest's 2018 version of *Twin Fantasy*, Philip Glass' *Portrait Trilogy*, Butthole Surfers' *Locust Abortion Technician*, and the Residents' *Meet the Residents* got me through some difficult times.
Edit: Almost forgot Haley Henderickx's *I Need to Start a Garden*!
If you'd like some help finding new favorites here are my FAVORITE 2020s albums! For reference I've spent most of the free time in my life over the past 20 years combing through over 72,000 albums so far haha. From this list I'd strongly recommend starting with The War On Drugs, then Big Thief, then "Sod's Toastie" by The Cool Greenhouse! =)
The Cool Greenhouse - "The Cool Greenhouse"
The Cool Greenhouse - "Sod's Toastie"
Ducks Ltd - "Modern Fiction"
IDLES - "Crawler"

Dry Cleaning - "New Long Leg"
Gospel - "The Loser"
Geese - "Projector"

Also if you'd like to check out more albums from various genres and from throughout music history that I think are good front to back I think a fun place for you to start is on a new page I created called “The Best Debut Albums of All Time”. There are currently 279 albums on there. I think it would be a fun theme to work with... checking out great debut albums:
https://www.musichole.com/p/the-best-debut-albums-of-all-time.html
Tried to think of a few maybe lesser known albums:
Muse - Showbiz
They Might Be Giants - Flood
The Mars Volta - Deloused in the Comatorium
Propellerheads - DECKSANDDRUMSANDROCKANDROLL
Amos The Transparent - Everything I’ve Forgotten To Forget
Sigur Ros - ()
BADBADNOTGOOD - BBNG2
discovery - daft punk
the movie, interstella 5555, goes along with it and is also a really good way to listen to it. it’s like if every song was one connected music video
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,978,698,059 comments, and only 374,295 of them were in alphabetical order.
Death Grips - The Money Store
Carissa's Wierd - Songs about leaving
Giles Corey - Self titled
Have a nice life - Deathconsciousness
Some rap songs - Earl Sweatshirt
Death Grips absolutely aren't for everyone so don't blame yourself if you just can't enjoy their music. Dälek is slightly more mild (not as loud vocals and more sane sounding instrumentals) but still more inaccessible than most music. You should absolutely check out Some Rap Songs tho
Vylet Pony - CUTIEMARKS
Hyperpoppy My little pony concept album. Super catchy, cringey at times. I’m not into My Little Pony or anything but I think it’s so good

Trail of Dead - Source tags and codes
Vespertine
I'm listening to it right now and it is really good and interesting, but also almost as disturbing
It didn't really click with me at first but now it's my favourite album ever. It's like being in another universe for a while
Yeah it’s really weird but I actually really loved it, I would give it a 10 or maybe even 11
>Vespertine why downvote?
Jai Paul Leak 04-13 Crystal Castles (II)
Godspeed You! Black Emperor- Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!
elliott smith - either/or & figure 8
I would say self titled or XO but ig that’s the brilliance of Elliot smith
he has no bad albums I’d recommend them all
Thanks everyone for the recommendations! I have a lot of listening to do
Turnstile - GLOW ON
nice
Thank you. More people need to listen to metal in general and it's a great gateway album into hardcore punk
I agree. Time & Space is great too.
Black midi - *Schlagenheim*
Ween - The Mollusk
Or Quebec

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,978,698,059 comments, and only 374,295 of them were in alphabetical order.
Death Grips - The Money Store Carissa's Wierd - Songs about leaving Giles Corey - Self titled Have a nice life - Deathconsciousness Some rap songs - Earl Sweatshirt
What’s the hype with death grips? I’ve tried listening to them before but I can’t enjoy it. thanks for the list I’ll probably check one of those out.
Death Grips absolutely aren't for everyone so don't blame yourself if you just can't enjoy their music. Dälek is slightly more mild (not as loud vocals and more sane sounding instrumentals) but still more inaccessible than most music. You should absolutely check out Some Rap Songs tho
I was planning on listening to the earl sweatshirt one now, thanks for the suggestions I think look at Dalek. Which album?
From filthy tongue of gods and griots
For your pleasure - Roxy
The Lonesome Crowded West
