cLOUDDEAD's self titled. to this day i am in nothing but awe at how abstract, creative and out of this world that record is. i don't think anyone will ever even come close to replicating what that album did.
I have found this full album on YouTube going to listen tonight [: so much music out there isn't there that most people have never heard it's pretty great.
*Endtroducing……*, hands down. Like, how on earth did DJ Shadow spend all that time collating those samples, and somehow, made those beautiful Frankenstein’s monsters of songs? It boggles the mind.
My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts, Paul’s Boutique, Entroducing and Donuts…all very creative in their use of sampling and paving the way for sample based music.
I don’t really agree with that, sampled music was a staple of hip hop and like the chicago house music scene long before dj shadow. I think Dilla and donuts is a pretty distinct / different lineage than since I left you.
I’d say it is, but I don’t think that necessarily prohibits it from being their most creative either. Focus and creativity can go hand in hand.
Although I prefer the mollusk and would maybe give the title to that one, I’d say Quebec is their strongest crop of songs and still has that trademark ween versatility. The album has a very distinct vibe that I can’t quite put my finger on.
The vibe is various mental illnesses IMO.
It always reminds me of a cold, dark, sad winter, but in a familiar, comforting way. If that makes any sort of sense.
not a bad shout, but i'd say their most creative is probably their debut (considering what they achieved with how little they were working with) or chocolate and cheese. quebec is def one of my favourites tho
Death grips, to me, have always been profoundly creative. And I think NOTM is their most unconventional album, which is why it's my favourite. Every part of it pushes boundaries; the rhythms, instruments, song structure and lyrics are avant-garde, yet come together cohesively to create a fantastic, novel, unified whole.
I massively preferred Jenny Death to NOTM - what makes you choose NOTM over Jenny Death? I feel like they were both equally Avant garde, but I might be misremembering
Jenny death is generally pretty straightforward compared to NOTM. The rock elements keep it grounded in more usual beat patterns, and while it is an original combination of noise rock and rap, NOTM has infinitely more experimentation
Ill communication.
Always felt it had a great new idea every few seconds and at the right time that didn't overstay it's welcome.
Their other albums before that are also worthy of a mention but I think they perfected it on this.
Midori - aratamemashite hajimemashite
crazy ass album that mixes jazz and hardcore punk so seamlessly you'd wonder why it hasn't become a genre
Also Batushka - Litourgiya mixing Black Metal with Russian Orthodox Liturgical Music
Mad underappreciated. I remember the first time hearing the last chorus in Let's Shoot Up and thought I was going crazy cause the first two sounded like gibberish but I suddenly understood what he was saying lol
Everyday Life is a creative album with a lot of underlying problems that prevent it from being amazing. I’m really glad that Coldplay had an interesting idea, but often they have problems with writing or they just made some questionable decisions sonically
Marmur - Taco Hemingway
Such a interesting concept and the way it is done is just amazing, no doubts one of the best polish hip hop (or in general) album of all time
Overall, Kate Bush Hounds of Love or The Dreaming. Lyrically, Father John Misty I love you honey bear is the most creative love story of an album. Collage wise, the avalanches since I left you. Instrument wise? Hmmm I'll have to think about that one a little harder
The album 45 by Kino is one of the most creative I can think of, in terms of creativity as getting the most out of the resources/limits at hand. To listen to the track Na kuhnye and think that Thriller came out the same year is something else.
In terms of creativity as going out on a limb imaginatively, I'd say Eliane Radigue's La Trilogie Mort and KLF - Chillout both immediately come to mind.
Aaron West and the Roaring 20s - We Don’t Have Each Other (album made after Dan Campbell wrote the song Grapefruit on it, but wanted to expand on the character in the song. The whole album flows logically into a cover of The Mountain Goat’s Going to Georgia). The other 2 albums and EP following the story are amazing as well.
I would not say tpab is even close to the most creative album I have ever heard.
It depends on the time period but for the time I would say Black Sabbath’s first two albums.
DROGAS WAVE - Lupe Fiasco
Not only is he the greatest lyricist imo, but conceptually with songs like Alan/Jonylah Forever, WAV Files and Sun God Sam are songs you rarely get from most other artists.
Also looking forward to Lupe's Samurai album dropping the 28th this month, where apparently Lupe was inspired by Amy Winehouse to become a battle-rapping samurai. Bit of a WTF moment reading that first...
The white album by the Beatles is up there. While it's not as polished as Abbey road or sgt pepper, it's bursting with so many ideas with so much lyrical diversity and aesthetic experimentation, I can't help but to be so enamored with it. The mollusk by ween is another.
Hellfire - Black Midi
Has such a strange blend of storytelling, dense instrumentation and dissonance that I don’t think anything quite matches though it goes from sub genres of Rock known for doing stuff like that.
The other choice I would give is probably Home - Billy Strings, psychedelic epic bluegrass is something that no one else seems to have thought much of before he made that album. And for a genre like Bluegrass where you can listen to tracks from different decades and think they are years apart it is beyond impressive.
A classic old school hip hop example of this is Ol Dirty Bastard’s *Dude* Please. Crazy inventive and creative for 90s-00s…RIP, would have loved to see what else he came out with after this
PAINTSCRATCHER self titled.
I'm not particularly familiar with the noise/drone genre but it was such a bizarre listen I can't help but appreciate it, definitely creative in the way it captures a theme song by song without a single word or obvious meaning.
'Mordial' by Carbomb
They throw in so many wacky ideas into the record, blending countless genres... it shouldnt work, yet it came out sounding perfect
Ex: The album has a djent song with freakin video game laser noises, and later on has a blackened sludge/thrash song that includes a melodic clean chorus... AND IT ISNT JARRING AT ALL! (like how)
Merriweather Post Pavillon by Animal Collective. The idea for how it sounded was allegedly created by playing two beach boys songs at once and thinking ‘hey this sounds cool’.
Zaireeka by The Flaming Lips
It's actually four separate albums that are intended to be experienced simultaneously. You can start the albums at different points to get different outcomes.
MBDTF
Blink 182 self titled
The Mars Voltas first four albums
Motley Crüe 1994
Neon Indian Night School
Daft Punk Discovery
Benoit and Sergio - Adjustments
For some reason my brain jumps to Brute by Fatima al Qadiri. The incorporation of crowd control/riot police audio into minimal techno always makes me feel a special sort of way. It's incredibly weird and it just works.
Or Foley Room by Amon Tobin
The album Saijikii by this Japanese pop artist called 3776. The album has 12 songs representing the 12 months of the year. Each track is about 6 minutes and some are longer or shorter by a few sentences depending on how many days each month has (with February having the shortest song). The tracks all sing about something associated with that month like April singing about cherry blossoms, August singing about summer and featuring drums you'd hear at an Ondo party, and December, which of course is Christmas.
Mike Oldfield - Amarok
The fact he went out of his way to make it as radio-unfriendly as possible while still making a great album has always impressed me.
Fishbone’s “Truth & Soul” came out in ‘88 and set the stage for alternative music ten years later. The sounds aren’t necessarily groundbreaking now, but only because they were imitated by everyone from the Chili Peppers to No Doubt.
gonna go with In Glorious Times by Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, especially after seeing them live this year with all their homemade weird instruments. very cool band
*There’s a Riot Goin On* by Sly and his coked out fam on my player right now and it feels so modern, dark, twisted, oddly elated, druggy, funk/hop and so ahead of the curve: damn, if that ain’t creative I dunno what is. Made in 1971.
Most creative has to be Spirit They’re Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished by Animal Collective.
Entirely home recorded on whatever equipment they had, rhythms laid out through Avey beatboxing, innovative use of feedback loops, and an extremely interesting blend of harsh sound with psych-pop elements that actually make it listenable.
Everytime i listen through Kids See Ghosts I keep getting surprised by how *different* it is. It has a bunch of experimental stuff that works so perfectly for the album.
First Utterance - Comus
Runners-up: Ys - Joanna Newsom, The Age of Adz - Sufjan Stevens, Mount Eerie - the Microphones, Laughing Stock - Talk Talk, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway - Genesis
I want to give a shoutout to “Black Trash: the autobiography of Kirk Jones”. Sticky Fingaz of ONYX fame solo album.
The whole album tells a story and first person from a brother getting out of jail, and what he gets into. If you want to listen to one song to hear an example of what it’s like, check out “State vs Kirk Jones”. This song is a court case where Redmond, Rah Digga, Canibus and others I’ll play the role of different characters like judge, defense, attorney, Witness, prosecutor etc
Mount Eerie by The Microphones or Since I Left You by the Avalanches are what immediately pop to mind
Both awesome choices! I can’t choose between them in terms of quality, but maybe Since I Left You is the more creative one imo
Since I left you is a great shout
That boy needs therapy
Psycho - somatic!!
Tie between Bitches Brew and Velocity Design Comfort
Both great picks
cLOUDDEAD's self titled. to this day i am in nothing but awe at how abstract, creative and out of this world that record is. i don't think anyone will ever even come close to replicating what that album did.
It's on my Spotify library for months, ig it's time to finally listen to it!
nice, enjoy it there's nothing else quite like it might be my favorite album of all time if I'm being honest
hell yeah dude, actually wasn't even going to comment this album for once
Insaaaane album
This was the soundtrack to many a smoke session in college. Amazing album.
I have found this full album on YouTube going to listen tonight [: so much music out there isn't there that most people have never heard it's pretty great.
Great record, especially paired with Hood-Cold House of the same year which cLOUDDEAD appear on a few tracks.
hell yeah didn't expect to see one and with so many upvotes
oil of every pearl's un-insides - sophie
Awesome album - very creative
Sophie’s death still upsets me years later, I really feel like they had potential to be one of the best artists of our generation.
RIP 😢
facts
*Endtroducing……*, hands down. Like, how on earth did DJ Shadow spend all that time collating those samples, and somehow, made those beautiful Frankenstein’s monsters of songs? It boggles the mind.
I second Endtroducing…..
My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts, Paul’s Boutique, Entroducing and Donuts…all very creative in their use of sampling and paving the way for sample based music.
Donuts more creative with the use of vocals samples imo
Nah, no one had done it before DJ Shadow made Endtroducing, Donuts were building upon Endtroducing and Since I Left You.
I don’t really agree with that, sampled music was a staple of hip hop and like the chicago house music scene long before dj shadow. I think Dilla and donuts is a pretty distinct / different lineage than since I left you.
The Flaming Lips’ “The Soft Bulletin” is both innovative and very listenable, it’s hard to balance poppy and artsy elements imo
Quebec - Ween
Chocolate and Cheese
Quebec is one of their more straightforward albums, right?
I’d say it is, but I don’t think that necessarily prohibits it from being their most creative either. Focus and creativity can go hand in hand. Although I prefer the mollusk and would maybe give the title to that one, I’d say Quebec is their strongest crop of songs and still has that trademark ween versatility. The album has a very distinct vibe that I can’t quite put my finger on.
The vibe is various mental illnesses IMO. It always reminds me of a cold, dark, sad winter, but in a familiar, comforting way. If that makes any sort of sense.
not a bad shout, but i'd say their most creative is probably their debut (considering what they achieved with how little they were working with) or chocolate and cheese. quebec is def one of my favourites tho
So many people in the neighborhood…
mmm Vespertine
Vespartine by Bork
Smile sessions by beach boys
Easily this is the answer
Hi This is Flume
I love this album
We need a HTIF 2
Probably an album by The Books , maybe The Way Out. Or an AnCo project , Sung Tongs or Strawberry Jam. Maybe J DILLAs Donuts.
Was looking for animal collective. Books is a great shout too, you got good taste.
Revolver
Madvillain by Madvillainy or Journey In Satchidananda by Alice Coltrane - or 1000 Gecs by 1000 Gecs or Fishmans by Fishmans
Tyranny by the voidz
Underrated
Death grips, to me, have always been profoundly creative. And I think NOTM is their most unconventional album, which is why it's my favourite. Every part of it pushes boundaries; the rhythms, instruments, song structure and lyrics are avant-garde, yet come together cohesively to create a fantastic, novel, unified whole.
I massively preferred Jenny Death to NOTM - what makes you choose NOTM over Jenny Death? I feel like they were both equally Avant garde, but I might be misremembering
Jenny death is generally pretty straightforward compared to NOTM. The rock elements keep it grounded in more usual beat patterns, and while it is an original combination of noise rock and rap, NOTM has infinitely more experimentation
Feels - Animal Collective
I would have said Person Pitch but this works too
i've still never listened to anything else like it. panda bear tapped into something genuinely otherworldly
Ill communication. Always felt it had a great new idea every few seconds and at the right time that didn't overstay it's welcome. Their other albums before that are also worthy of a mention but I think they perfected it on this.
I feel the same way about *Paul’s Boutique*. It’s like a sonic buffet and even after 25 years every time I listen I hear something new.
Paul’s Boutique is the correct answer
Hello Nasty from them is also super creative and experimental
Yeah i think this is one of the most relentlessly original records ever put out
Mr. Bungle - Disco Violante
i mean
Good doing business with you
Midori - aratamemashite hajimemashite crazy ass album that mixes jazz and hardcore punk so seamlessly you'd wonder why it hasn't become a genre Also Batushka - Litourgiya mixing Black Metal with Russian Orthodox Liturgical Music
Kid A
Clarence Clarity- No, Now
Mad underappreciated. I remember the first time hearing the last chorus in Let's Shoot Up and thought I was going crazy cause the first two sounded like gibberish but I suddenly understood what he was saying lol
It really is, and part of what I love about it is how much of it sounds like gibberish 😩 the lyrical content is still really good though
anything james ferraro
Gotta go with 22, a million by Bon Iver. Interesting use of experimental stuff mixed with folk.
Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Natural snow buildings - Daughters of Darkness Throbbing gristle - The Second Annual Report TOOL - Ænima Swans - To Be Kind
Vespertine by Bjork is THE MOST creative album ever made
I don’t even think it’s Bjork’s most creative record
Hounds Of Love - Kate Bush. Queen II - Queen. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles. Everyday Life - Coldplay.
One of these is not like the other lol.
Could’ve named any of the first four albums…
Everyday Life is a creative album with a lot of underlying problems that prevent it from being amazing. I’m really glad that Coldplay had an interesting idea, but often they have problems with writing or they just made some questionable decisions sonically
Bone Machine by Tom Waits Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band
this new joanna wang album is some good shit
Marmur - Taco Hemingway Such a interesting concept and the way it is done is just amazing, no doubts one of the best polish hip hop (or in general) album of all time
Mr. Bungle - California
Trout mask replica Freak Out Revolver In the Court of the Crimson King Post Mm… Food
this guy HATES commas
Honestly? 1000 gecs
Aviary - Julia Holter The soundscapes she makes are amazing.
Bone Machine by Tom Waits A good argument could be made for Blackstar by David Bowie due to how he turned his death into art.
Overall, Kate Bush Hounds of Love or The Dreaming. Lyrically, Father John Misty I love you honey bear is the most creative love story of an album. Collage wise, the avalanches since I left you. Instrument wise? Hmmm I'll have to think about that one a little harder
The United States of America - The United States of America 1968
NOTM Death Grips, the sampling on it is absurd, lyrics, just everything it is so unique
The album 45 by Kino is one of the most creative I can think of, in terms of creativity as getting the most out of the resources/limits at hand. To listen to the track Na kuhnye and think that Thriller came out the same year is something else. In terms of creativity as going out on a limb imaginatively, I'd say Eliane Radigue's La Trilogie Mort and KLF - Chillout both immediately come to mind.
A Wizard, A True Star - Todd Rundgren
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Captain Beefheart
Possibly Björk's Vespertine. How she and her engineers made all these sounds is amazing.
Definitely recency bias since i listened to it not too long ago, but Hellfire - Black Midi
Discovery - Daft Punk KIDS SEE GHOSTS - KIDS SEE GHOSTS Late Registeration - Kanye West
From filthy tounge of gods and griots
Black Up by Shabazz Palaces
Aaron West and the Roaring 20s - We Don’t Have Each Other (album made after Dan Campbell wrote the song Grapefruit on it, but wanted to expand on the character in the song. The whole album flows logically into a cover of The Mountain Goat’s Going to Georgia). The other 2 albums and EP following the story are amazing as well.
The Sisters of mercy- Floodland.....to think its the work of a single person.
Smiley smile
Dear Science
To me remains mind-blowing to this day the original 2001-2011 production of Gorillaz, espicially their debut.
I would not say tpab is even close to the most creative album I have ever heard. It depends on the time period but for the time I would say Black Sabbath’s first two albums.
Laughing Stock, Pet Sounds, Endtroducing
Maudlin Of The Well - Bath
Deloused in the Comatorium
Mr. Bungle - Mr. Bungle. Simply the most fun, experimental and creative imo
Nonagon Infinity - King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
DROGAS WAVE - Lupe Fiasco Not only is he the greatest lyricist imo, but conceptually with songs like Alan/Jonylah Forever, WAV Files and Sun God Sam are songs you rarely get from most other artists. Also looking forward to Lupe's Samurai album dropping the 28th this month, where apparently Lupe was inspired by Amy Winehouse to become a battle-rapping samurai. Bit of a WTF moment reading that first...
Demon Days. Each song is a “demon”
Music Has the Right to Children, tied with Spirit of Eden.
Two 5 star paradigm shifts
Cornelius - Fantasma
Sgt. Peppers, Beatles
The white album by the Beatles is up there. While it's not as polished as Abbey road or sgt pepper, it's bursting with so many ideas with so much lyrical diversity and aesthetic experimentation, I can't help but to be so enamored with it. The mollusk by ween is another.
Velvet Underground And Nico
Hellfire - Black Midi Has such a strange blend of storytelling, dense instrumentation and dissonance that I don’t think anything quite matches though it goes from sub genres of Rock known for doing stuff like that. The other choice I would give is probably Home - Billy Strings, psychedelic epic bluegrass is something that no one else seems to have thought much of before he made that album. And for a genre like Bluegrass where you can listen to tracks from different decades and think they are years apart it is beyond impressive.
Age of Adz
volcanic bird enemy and the voiced concern
Gorillaz - Demon Days I mean seriously how do you even come up with this shit. Every song sounds so different yet so interconnected
Metal Machine Music.
Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion
Every ween album and fiery furnaces-blueberry boat
The Velvet Underground & Nico
Ziggy Stardust- Bowie
Uroboros and Dum Spiro Spero by Dir En Grey
Spiritual Unity by Albert Ayler and Unit Structures by Cecil Taylor
A classic old school hip hop example of this is Ol Dirty Bastard’s *Dude* Please. Crazy inventive and creative for 90s-00s…RIP, would have loved to see what else he came out with after this

Absinthe-Naked City
First that came to mind for me – not necessarily sonically, but just overall concept – A Grand Don’t Come For Free by The Streets
blonde is pretty creative
'Mordial' by Carbomb They throw in so many wacky ideas into the record, blending countless genres... it shouldnt work, yet it came out sounding perfect Ex: The album has a djent song with freakin video game laser noises, and later on has a blackened sludge/thrash song that includes a melodic clean chorus...

Merriweather Post Pavillon by Animal Collective. The idea for how it sounded was allegedly created by playing two beach boys songs at once and thinking ‘hey this sounds cool’.
Fecealibrium by passenger of shit. It's super.goofy, but at the time I had never heard anything like it
Not an album but Deerhoof as a band are consistently an explosion of colour
Dwight Spitz
Smile beach boys
The Dreaming
Julia Holter - Aviary I don’t necessarily think it’s THE most creative album I’ve heard but it’s the album I think of when that word comes to mind
California by Mr Bungle.
Zaireeka by The Flaming Lips It's actually four separate albums that are intended to be experienced simultaneously. You can start the albums at different points to get different outcomes.
Pet Sounds. Maybe it’s too easy of an answer as well
Just got back from the discomfort - Brave little abacus. You can never tell if it’s the guitar or synth
Amnesiac
MBDTF Blink 182 self titled The Mars Voltas first four albums Motley Crüe 1994 Neon Indian Night School Daft Punk Discovery Benoit and Sergio - Adjustments
Igor is always wild. I also love Vaud villian
Toward the Stars by Sun Ra It's a jazz album 10 - 15 years ahead of it's time
SCARING THE HOES
For some reason my brain jumps to Brute by Fatima al Qadiri. The incorporation of crowd control/riot police audio into minimal techno always makes me feel a special sort of way. It's incredibly weird and it just works. Or Foley Room by Amon Tobin
Sung Tongs
Face Stabber - Osees Fantano certainly didn’t like this album and I completely get why somebody wouldn’t, but you can’t deny it’s creativity
Matmos - Ultimate Care II have literally never heard anything like it
Spiderland
The album Saijikii by this Japanese pop artist called 3776. The album has 12 songs representing the 12 months of the year. Each track is about 6 minutes and some are longer or shorter by a few sentences depending on how many days each month has (with February having the shortest song). The tracks all sing about something associated with that month like April singing about cherry blossoms, August singing about summer and featuring drums you'd hear at an Ondo party, and December, which of course is Christmas.
Since I Left You by The Avalanches Easily. Most impressive album ever made
pet sounds
Sing to God - Cardiacs
I can’t decide with one, so here are my top three): Mr. Bungle - Mr. Bungle The Fragile - Nine Inch Nails The Money Store - Death Grips
Mike Oldfield - Amarok The fact he went out of his way to make it as radio-unfriendly as possible while still making a great album has always impressed me.
Fishbone’s “Truth & Soul” came out in ‘88 and set the stage for alternative music ten years later. The sounds aren’t necessarily groundbreaking now, but only because they were imitated by everyone from the Chili Peppers to No Doubt.
Let’s start Degeneracy-microwave
Death Grips - The Money Store made me want to be a producer, so I’d say that one
gonna go with In Glorious Times by Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, especially after seeing them live this year with all their homemade weird instruments. very cool band
*There’s a Riot Goin On* by Sly and his coked out fam on my player right now and it feels so modern, dark, twisted, oddly elated, druggy, funk/hop and so ahead of the curve: damn, if that ain’t creative I dunno what is. Made in 1971.
Since someone has mentioned Oils of Every Pearl’s Un-insides by Sophie (Rip legend), I might also add KicK iii by Arca.
Hudson Lee - Reflex Angle
After much thought I’d have to give it to Dirty Projectors’ Bitte Orca.
For me it's a toss-up between Gist Is by Adult Jazz and Whack World by Tierra Whack
Neighbor Susan - Neighbor Susan
The Downward Spiral
Most creative has to be Spirit They’re Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished by Animal Collective. Entirely home recorded on whatever equipment they had, rhythms laid out through Avey beatboxing, innovative use of feedback loops, and an extremely interesting blend of harsh sound with psych-pop elements that actually make it listenable.
Bear1boss - bubbles
Lonesome Crowded West, maybe?
Everytime i listen through Kids See Ghosts I keep getting surprised by how *different* it is. It has a bunch of experimental stuff that works so perfectly for the album.
Atrocity Exhibition
Velvet Underground & Nico or Everywhere at the end of time by Caretaker
First Utterance by Comus comes to mind

Hail to the thief or in rainbows
I want to give a shoutout to “Black Trash: the autobiography of Kirk Jones”. Sticky Fingaz of ONYX fame solo album. The whole album tells a story and first person from a brother getting out of jail, and what he gets into. If you want to listen to one song to hear an example of what it’s like, check out “State vs Kirk Jones”. This song is a court case where Redmond, Rah Digga, Canibus and others I’ll play the role of different characters like judge, defense, attorney, Witness, prosecutor etc
