Stoner Witch is incredible...
Houdini is a classic...
pretty much everything they've done has been awesome but this one has been on heavy rotation for a while and may be their best.

Part 2

post-rock.

every time i hear myself say this, or watch myself type it, i can't help but cringe just a little bit. mainly because the average person automatically assumes you're a pretentious asshole that listens to garbage, which isn't usually the case.

the above two bands are/were basically responsible for starting the whole post-rock movement that's occurred over the last 10+ years... and they sound absolutely nothing alike. but even if you hate whatever it is that 'post-rock' encompasses, you should really make sure to own these two albums. definitely some of the best there are.

From open to close it's an incredible album that's meant to be listened to all the way through. You should go to the bar and drink a few beers or smoke whatever you have, come home and sit down and listen to this record. In my opinion, the best thing Neurosis has ever released.

Sufjan Stevens - Illinois

When thinking about what the best albums of the 00's were this one is definitely near the top. The songwriting doesn't get much better and it's an album that is just as good the 100th time as it was the first. Pretty amazing that one dude could write all of this. It was the second album in a series of 50 that he planned to release for every state but that idea has since fizzled.

Over the next few weeks/months I'm going to try and post some other albums that I think were the best of the decade. Anyway, enjoy this one.
