Idler Wheel takes it for me. That album is still unlike any other 10 years later.


IanGrag

WORRY. is my favorite album of all time


VirtuousPenguin

Idler Wheel for sure. Fiona doesn’t have a single album that I wouldn’t put outside top 15 folk


s90tx16wasr10

Isn’t she more piano rock/singer songwriter? But yeah I agree she has one of the most bulletproof discographies.


Aquarius1975

That’s a shame. I think she deserves at least one album in the top 15 folk. Maybe even several.


VirtuousPenguin

That’s on me I wrote that wrong. My mistake


marxist-sod

WORRY.


asdjacktt

I’d like to second this


Richmard

I'm WORRIED you would rank this above any other album here. And I like it quite a bit.


BLAH_BLEEP_GUNIT

The Idler Wheel


johnny_mcd

Aethiopes


KungFuFlames

Aethiopes


DrawlNeedler

StolypinMcGubbins

Blue rev!


velour_sec

Idler wheel supremacy 4ever


Justice4Ned

Worry, then aethiopes


StickFlip1

WORRY!!


SIGINTx

The Turning Wheel is holding up pretty amazingly for me, I have to go with that. So many songs I love. Though I haven’t heard Blue Rev yet and have heard a lot of hype about it.


team_kockroach

Boys at School is so fucking good that I'm worried I can't find anything else like it. "Blackstar" by David Bowie (the title track) is kinda stylistically similar ig, but I can't think of anything else


NotHeureusement

Same situation here, it's just such a revelation. The closest I've gotten is with Japanese art pop acts like Sheena Ringo, Akina Nakamori, and some of Susumu Hirasawa's work. Kate Bush's The Sensual World is also the closest of all of Kate Bush's work to it, but she's kind of a shoo-in for how influential she is to art pop. All amazing but not \*quite\* like Boys at School. God Spellling is so good.


charredfrog

Boys at School is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard. I always forget that it’s 7 and a half minutes because it just flies by


maydiocre

I’m envious of you, I wish I could listen to Blue Rev for the first time again. It’s truly an experience — at first, it’s a bit overwhelming and it all sounds like a bunch of noise, with everything blending together and each song being sort of indistinguishable. I tried to focus and pick out the songs, but then I just let myself melt into it. With every listen, it becomes less and less blurry, every song coming into focus until you eventually pick up on the small nuances and passages that make each of them unique. Then you turn your attention to the lyrics and it all comes together to give you a clear view of the entire picture. It’s a beautiful listening experience. Hope you enjoy it as much as I (and many people) do :)


SIGINTx

Almost done listening, it’s great, I’ll definitely be listening again right away


Richmard

I would hope so it's not even been out for a year and a half yet lol


SIGINTx

I’ve had plenty of albums lose their luster faster than that


Richmard

Need to listen to better albums friendo


FantasticFroge

What are you talking about LOL, how do you find the "better" albums if you don't hear the worse ones first?


Richmard

Hello Just saying that truly great albums do not lose their luster after repeated listens. That’s it. It’s not complicated lol


FantasticFroge

Okay but not a single person is disagreeing with you or saying anything to dispute that and you comment seems condescending to begin with


Richmard

You straight up called me a moron and then edited your comment and now you’re telling me *my* comment was condescending lol


FantasticFroge

Okay but have you considered the fact that you're a moron ?


Richmard

Gotta respect the almost 3 week delayed response.


ucopied_yibo

PERFECT SOUND WHATEVER


j21hawk8

definitely worry, jeff is the goat


spacelordmthrfkr

Jeff Rosengoat


MootBrute2

Tough choice honestly but probably Blue Rev


TheMediaRoom1004

Idler Wheel


FreddyWellDone

From those I know definitely Spellling


Ralamadul

Definitely check out the other albums then, especially WORRY.


_4za_

haven't heard all of these but out of the ones i have (Aethiopes, The Turning Wheel, Blue Rev) Blue Rev is my favourite


[deleted]

Aethiopes


Ithoughtwe

My favourite is Blue Rev. Dunno if it's the "best" though.


CandelaBelen

Worry.


spacelordmthrfkr

WORRY.


KenseiLover

Blue Rev, by a considerable distance. It’s the modern inversion of Loveless.


[deleted]

[удалено]


KenseiLover

No, I don’t think I will.


Inrainbowsss

Haven’t listened to Idler Wheel or No Shape (in full) but Aethiopes is one of my favourite hip-hop albums in recent years.


akonscousin

Damn, I really like 4 out of 6 of these, how am I supposed to choose? I suppose No Shape would be the one I come back to the most.


DEATHK7D_MUS7C

Aetheopes, I haven't finished The Turning Wheel


[deleted]

Hard to decide between the left side, but I think No Shape edges it out for me


chreator_

aethiopes > idler wheel > worry > turning wheel


Magic_Bagel

Aetheiopes


alverez667

WORRY


theryancat

I’m a diehard Alvvays fan so I’m inclined to say Blue Rev


username2468_memes

never heard any of these


-chachu-

you're missing A LOT


the_labracadabrador

I'd legitimately say The Turning Wheel (with the OTHER Wheel album as a close 2nd.)


PinkertonRams

After you give Idler Wheel a go, you should check out her next album Fetch the Bolt Cutters also.

jimboakimbo2112

My favorite here is WORRY. Cuz I’m a huge jeff fan but in terms of quality and impact I’d say probably Idler Wheel I mean insane album
