The End of Evangelion - Shiro Sagisu
been a year since i listened to this in full and yet the intro to heisoku no kakudai occasionally pops into my head and makes me terribly sad. powerful stuff. got me into classical music.

ROMCOM - Jakey
i waited 5 years for this album to drop and every minute of those five years was worth it. like eternights, it's kind of trashy and emotionally honest to a fault but i love it for that. they also both get unfair amounts of hate!!! if romcom (or eternights) had dropped in the ps2 days people would be lookin back on it fondly.
Silent Hill 3 - Akira Yamaoka
this is like the silent hill 2 soundtrack if it was as good as people say it is.
Ants From Up There - Black Country, New Road
overrated for a reason. the sauce is in how it's assembled.. i, for one, hate indie rock (especially of the arcade fire flavor) nearly as much as i hate needless throwback games. so take that as proof of how saucy the songwriting and level design in afut and pizza tower respectively are. btw basketball shoes is my favorite song of all time and it's 50% of the reason i put the album here.
bunny songs - carter c
much like slar, you look at this album cover and tracklist and know pretty much immediately what you're getting yourself into. queer furry shit. indie as hell. and in spite of what should repulse me about bunny songs, i love it so, so much. i suppose you could chalk a lot of that up to memories i have attached to the album (being friends with its creator and all). but eh, opinions are fake and so is bias.
Meteora - Linkin Park
you just... had to grow up with it, man. coming at it nowadays, you're gonna be disappointed cuz it was catering to a certain audience (stunted by design, so to say). but if you were like, 10 years old when you first experienced meteora or the force unleashed ii, it's probably very close to your heart. you'll try and tell people it's awesome. they won't understand. you had to be there.
WORRY. - Jeff Rosenstock
a bittersweet summer spent in a city that's collapsing all around you. except it's literal in disaster report 4 instead of like government bad or whatever because the city is literally collapsing God Please Help Us We're Going to Be Crushed
UNDERTALE Soundtrack - Toby Fox
i am being lazy with this one because the next 3 will be difficult
LAUGHINGFISH - Black Dresses
made explicitly with the intent of making fucked up girls cry. emotional destruction by way of physical destruction. if you point out the imperfect vocals/framerate, you've already missed the point.
Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE
the overambitious would-be masterpiece of multiple artistic geniuses. surely would have influenced the world upon release. neither ever saw the light of day until, many years later, it was reincarnated in a different format. and mfs who were dying for the original thing will be disappointed, but if you open your mind you realize how incredible it truly is. at least, i hope this ends up being true of the duelin firemen project. we'll see how it goes. i need to write about grady sain someday.
The Black Parade - My Chemical Romance
edgy shit, gothic ruminations on death, a healthy helping of melodrama, ambitions that crush their predecessors (though their predecessors were more popular online for so long) and a self-awareness so strong that even the lames who hate on the emos can get behind it. also, they have this pseudo-underratedness about them despite both being releases from massively famous creators. also, both feel like home to me :)
Hospice - The Antlers
feel bad for liking either of these as much as i do, but the ways in which they're emotionally manipulative and totally tactless only make me love them more. most of the time i avoid discussing these with people lol
Peaceful as Hell - Black Dresses
MASTERPIECE. 100% FLAWLESS ABRASIVE PERFECTION. MORE DEPTH THAN ALL OF YOUR FAVORITE THINGS COMBINED. QUEER AS SHIT. DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ISN'T ONE OF THE MOST RESPECTED PIECES OF ART RELEASED IN THE PAST 20 YEARS. OH, IT CREEPS U OUT? GOOD. IT WANTS TO.
