-
An out-and-out masterpiece of alternative metal, System of a Down’s sophomore album was a breath of fresh air amid an ocean of cringeworthy rap rock verses and down-tuned two-note riffs.
-
A defining moment for electronic music across the board, Burial’s sophomore album evokes a state of continuous bliss under grey skies.
-
The Cold Vein pulled the sounds of East Coast rap music into the future and opened the floodgates for a new strain of leftfield hip hop.
-
Sleater-Kinney’s almost-swansong, The Woods, proved to be one of the 2000s’ most badass and essential rock albums.
