Had a convo with some friends this weekend and it got me thinking...
What are your all-time no-skips albums?
The ones you throw on and just let ride because every track hits.

Here are 5 that came to mind for me, from all corners of the music landscape...
Mac Demarco - "2"

Radiohead - "In Rainbows"

Brand New - "The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me"

Yussef Dayes - "Black Classical Music"

The Circling Sun - "Spirits"
Lots of incredible lore about Devil & God — worth a dive down the rabbit hole.
Hot Take: Yussef is probably one of the most talented musicians alive today

True true
If you’re into that music scene, check out the band/album I included in my picks — the circling sun
That album is a work of art and is a super group of aus/nz jazz musicians
I genuinely had never heard anything quite like it before

Deja Entendu is probably my most played all-time album.
I have a deep personal connection to that album.

Brand new is my favorite of those 5 - and would def make a top list of mine. Aka my vinyl collection

That fires me up. One album I wish I had and doubt I will ever see/have is Justin Vernon’s earlier solo albums “Hazeltons”. I read some bon iver lore on Reddit that said apparently only 100 were ever made but my guess is that is cds and not vinyls

Have you checked Discogs?
Otherwise, embrace the hunt!
I’ve been looking for this weird album called “proving winter cruel” by kill creek for ~10 years now lol

watched Yussef play Black Classical Music live and it was as amazing as you’d imagine

It’s my favorite thing to come out in recent memory!
Also this which has the same vibe

I think if you ask me every few years my answer would change, but right now, i would agree — in rainbows is their best work.
I feel like it’s somehow the most interesting thing they made.
Also the release and its lore are legendary
