what's an album that you connected with spiritually, emotionally, maybe even physically? wilco's yankee hotel foxtrot does it for me. layered, gorgeous, and emotional, the lyrics punch in ways that really speak to the masochistic and maybe somewhat paradoxic tendency of the human to view the significant but melancholic as comforting and pleasant.

discovered this when i was a critically injured teenager with/during a dozen reconstructive surgeries and it made me strong enough to marry a disabled woman. i had no idea such feelings of pain and loss could contribute to a whole that is so beautiful.

Maybe it's a cheap answer to choose such a highly praised album. But every time I listen I am surprised with the strength of the emotions I feel and the start to finish experience of listening to this beautiful music.
>>8258A I A: alien observer by grouper, probably the best ambient album of all time. something to look out at the sky to, even when there’s nothing particularly interesting to see. vapor trails is my shit.

>>7316Exmilitary by Death Grips.
It helped give voice to very dark feelings I had at the time. A sort of anger outsourcing if you will.
i think finding these albums in high school definitely changed the trajectory of my life. pic also related.
