I tried to search "favorite album" to see if a thread like this existed but the search terms were too common so buckle up because it's time for the best thread you've ever read ever.
As I stated in another thread, my favorite album is F♯A♯∞, by Godspeed You! Black Emperor. It's hard to place why it's my favorite album, and I guess that's a good thing - it has a special something I could never put into words. That said, I think it's beautiful. Each track is more of an experience than a song. I guess, if anything, this album just comes across as very honest. Lastly, and I know this is the most subjective point of all, it is very creative; The swells in the beginning of East Hastings are created by running a screwdriver along the strings of a guitar.
Anyhoo, I'd LOVE to hear your favorite albums, and maybe you could also tell us your favorite track from the album so we don't spend ten thousand years on this thread. My favorite track from the above album is Providence.
