My Top Ten Favorite Albums

1) Fight Club: Original Score The Dust Brothers
This ain’t radio or MTV-friendly, but it is the best damn soundtrack on the market. People either love or hate this album because it’s gloomy, musically experimental and nearly lyric-less (only one song has vocals on it and it is those of Tyler Durden). However this soundtrack is stellar; it's well-produced and complimented Fight Club the film perfectly.

2) Gorillaz Gorillaz
Gorillaz’s not-so humble beginnings. Gorllaz is a blend of musical styles including trip/hip hop, punk, reggae, latin, electronica, rock …. and surprisingly it all works!.

3) Mezzanine Massive Attack
Musical Masterpiece. Mezzanine is the album that brought trip hop to the mainstream masses, and is considerably one of the most innovative works of our time.

4) Mer de Nomes A Perfect Circle
The MdN era is the most talented and creative APC has ever been, and perhaps ever will be. Each song is exceptional and imaginative; it’s like listening to an adventurous, somewhat trippy, medieval fairytale. When I listen to this album I feel like I am dreaming.

5) 1992-2002 Underworld
This album is a best of compilation of 1992-2002 from the insanely talented electronic-dance group, Underworld. All of the fan-favorites (my favorites anyway) and popular tracks are convienantly featured here on one album.

6) Surrender The Chemical Brothers
Perfect and diverse from beginning to end. CB at their best.

7) A Hundred Days Off Underworld
For A Hundred Days Off Underworld experimented with a softer, more laid back sound. This album was almost a 180 from any of Underworld’s previous work, but certainly was not disappointing. I find this album very comforting.

8) Spacemonkeyz vs Gorillaz: Laika Come Home Gorillaz
Gorillaz's debut album remixed into a nearly-unrecognizable dub-reggae-ska compilation. The outcome is mellow, groove-y and genuinely dub. Theperfectsoundtracktosmokeadoobieto.

9) Lovesick Celebrity
Dark, moody, emotional and vulnerable. The lyrics are heartfelt and the music is well-crafted. An awesome effort by alternative rock band, Celebrity.

10) Aenima Tool
It’s TOOL, man. C’mon.
