Octopath Traveler II OST by Yasunori Nishiki.
I'm not sure if you were looking only for bands or music with lyrics, but this is probably my favorite video game soundtrack of all time.
Samples:
Thanks for the samples! Those are good. That game also looks really interesting. I've only heard of octodad.
Morphine - Good
Nujabes - Modal Soul
Leftover Crack - Fuck World Trade
The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute
Big KRIT - 4eva is a Mighty Long Time
No particular order but that's probably my current top 5
Bruh you got left over crack but no choking victim?
Hybrid Theory is the strongest Linkin Park album, with Meteora in close second
The Hands That Thieve is great whether you listen to Streetlight Manifesto ska version or the Toh Kay acoustic version
My Head Is An Animal remains my favorite Of Monsters And Men album
Christian rock as a genre is generally bad, but rock that is Christian can be pretty good: ? by Neal Morse remains one of my favorite albums

I'm surprised that I enjoyed these. Only know them from transformers and never listened again. Thanks for sharing!

Love the ska version! totally not my test but it's fun
Christian rock as a genre is generally bad, but rock that is Christian can be pretty good: ? by Neal Morse remains one of my favorite albums
I saw a youtube comment: Discovering Neal when I was into Christianity, and after I left that belief his music is one of the few things that still remain from those years, and this album, by far, is one of my favorites. Long live the art of music
That is surprisingly good!
Anything from Nighy Club.... own them alll listen to all on repeat many times.
Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet
Haken - The Mountain
King Crimson - Discipline
Thank You Scientist - Stranger Heads Prevail
Some solid prog recs here!! Porcupine Tree is excellent.
Do you like Dream Theater? Any thoughts on their latest release with Mike Portnoy back behind the drumkit?
I used to listen to DT a lot, but I kinda stopped following them after Octavarium. Their latest release is honestly not really interesting to me. They’ve been kinda creatively stagnant for a while, even with Portnoy’e return. The songs just have the same repetitive formula and arrangements. Meanwhile newer bands like Haken (who are the most similar to DT in my opinion) have been making amazing music.
Oh 100% agree. Haken are some of the best in the game right now.
Not particularly ordered:
Here’s a big eclectic mix of
Transatlanticism by Deathcab for Cutie
Time Out by the Dave Brubeck Quartet
Cubafrica by Manu Dibango
E MO TION: Side B by Carly Rae Jepsen
Home is Where Your Heart Was by Plej

Left and Leaving by The Weakerthans
Flood by They Might Be Giants
One of my favorite has to be: Delain - April Rain (the album, not just the song)
Fluisteraars - Bloem
Squarepusher - Feed Me Weird Things
The Caretaker - Everywhere At the End of Time
Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
Skinny Puppy - Too Dark Park
Highpaerbowlee - The Oil Crash
The Faint - Danse Macabre
Against Me - Reinventing Axl Rose
Bouncing Souls - Anchors Aweigh
Propagandhi - Supporting Caste
Touché Amore - Stage Four
Bomb The Music Industry - Vacation
The Cure - Paris
Paris is so good.
Pornography is also amazing.
Queens of the Stone Age - Rated R and Like Clockwork… (top 2 for me right now)
Also:
AWOLNATION - Megalithic Symphony
Foster the People - Torches
Them Crooked Vultures - Self titled
The Teenagers - Reality Check
Paul Simon, Rhythm of the Saints
“Deadache” by Lordi ! I wouldn’t say it has their best songs, but it doesn’t have any definite “B-sides”, unlike most of their previous work.
( eg : is Hellbender Turbulence anyone’s favorite ? Dynamite Tonite ? I doubt that. Get Heavy is a much rockier listening experience. Some may even say it’s heavily front loaded.
Deadache has a bit of a slump in the middle but it’s picked right back up by the final third, especially the titular song and Raise Hell in Heaven )
