This is a long list of various albums I've listened to and what I think about them. Also my favorite track from those albums, though don't expect me to go too in-depth with the individual tracks.

1970 - KRAFTWERK - KRAFTWERK (25.07.03)

FAVORITE TRACK: Vom Himmel Hoch

The first studio album Kraftwerk released. Before Autobahn, they were pretty much a weird, experimental krautrock band with electronic instruments. And also some more traditional instruments like flutes and violins. Ruckzuck isn't a bad opening track at all. It eases you into the record with flutes before going into the more experimental tracks. Stratovarius is more aggressive while Megaherz is straight-up psychedelia in its purest form, unbound to the confines of musical structure. Then comes the ominous final track, Vom Himmel Hoch, going from ominous drones into epic arrays of drums and electronics makes for a great final track. Overall, definitely an underrated album that feels like a mix of psychedelic music and industrial before industrial was even a thing.

On an extra note, if you want to see an alternate version of this album, there's a live recording of the band performing it live in 1970, though it has a different track listing with different track names.

1995 - THE BENDS - RADIOHEAD (25.07.06)

FAVORITE TRACK: My Iron Lung

Radiohead's second album, though some call it their true debut and pretend Pablo Honey didn't exist. I definitely wasn't expecting the album to have a bit of psychedelia in it in addition to its overall alt rock sound. Definitely a gret album, and both the band and the production staff did an excellent job on it. I also really like that weird delayed piano sound in Planet Telex. Also in the title track how Thom's voice gets a bit compressed in the post-chorus. Just in general, the album shows how Radiohead really knew how to work those distortion pedals and it's kind of a shame they ditched that sound later on, but oh well. My Iron Lung especially, like that one's probably my favorite Radiohead song out of all of theirs and the distortion is a major part of why i love it so much. Pure fucking aggression right there.
