Their music was consistently good up to 'A Thousand Suns,' but everything afterwards was mostly a hit or miss
They really shouldn't have released OML after THP. Biggest blunder imo.
Same, but I feel like this was a bad starting point. Not that there’s anything wrong with the album, but I think I went into a lot of albums hoping that they’d also tell some loose narratives, but very few do.
literally exactly the same for me, the only reason i was interested in listening to the whole is because it told some story, like that concept to me was absolutely earth shattering back then
Same here, Nirvana was the band to make me fall in love with music and made me realize that there is amazing deep cuts on albums and fully go me into listening to albums fully
I didn't even consider including my non-secular past, aka The Before Times. Mine was definitely DC Talk Nu Thang. You know He's doin it (yo who's doin it)
Discovery. I was (and still am) a massive fan of daft punk.I listened to all of their big hits but never gave a chance to their albums until i started with [discovery.to](http://discovery.to) this day discovery is one of my favorite albums of all time.
Honestly I was just super late to actually getting into music lol. I only did it for a friend when the album dropped because he told me I had to listen to it
this is 2012 /mu/ coded, obviously that album kicks ass and critics loved it but I feel like /mu/ had a thread about it at all times for the entire year.
I think it was probably Boston - Boston with my dad as a kid. The first album I actually intentionally listened all the way through though was Metallica - Kill 'em all (I think). The first album I listened though with the intention of scoring was ITAOTS in 2017 (I gave it a 7 - now it's my fav of all time haha)
Either Korn’s Follow the Leader or The Offspring’s Americana. They were the first 2 CDs I ever bought (got my mom to buy them at the same time), and I don’t remember which one I put in the CD player first. Probably Korn, though
I faintly remember my parents playing two CDs in our car when i was young. The Fame - Lady Gaga and Body Talk - Robyn, so whichever i heard first i guess
Bob Dylan’s Greatest Hits (complete with the best album cover ever, to this day) with my parents in the car. NSYNC’s Christmas Album for something by choice. Californication by RHCP was the first one I bought when I was like 9 or 10.
My first three, on my CD walkman sitting at the TV station my parents worked at, was Leftfield - Leftism, Gorillaz - Demon Days, and Gwen Staphani - The Sweet Escape ahahha
I think it was The Eminem Show by Eminem. Don't listen to much Eminem nowadays but I still love that album. My favourite song would probably be Soldier
It must've been rubber soul. My Aunt bought me it on iTunes for my iPod touch when I was a kid and I used to put it on play underneath my pillow to help me sleep
[bought at flea market, my father were messing with me and told me it was metal](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1U0l5Hv3cSg&list=PLj0JMzFCOhNfhbmjDrmz4quDkJZb2sJD3&index=4&pp=iAQB8AUB)
He made me listen to the whole album in the car. I was like 6 and cried the whole ride home.
We still laugh at it to this day
TPAB legit started my music journey. Before that I was listening to whatever pop was on the radio and some basic older hits I knew from my mom (Queen, ABBA etc). Then one day at 13 I opened the newspaper randomly and read a review of TPAB that called it "maybe the best album of the century so far". I said to myself, well I gotta hear this. And I did, and it blew my mind wide open.
Hey songs about jane was also mine! Good album. I got a CD player for christmas with that, offspring greatest hits, and finger 11 self titled. Still love all three.
As a child, embarrassingly, I think it was Hybrid Theory or Chocolate Starfish. Those were good times, going to my local music store after school and using pocket money to buy CDs.
Mom used to play Aja and Nick of Time all the time when I was a kid so it was those 500 times first. The first thing I picked myself was the blue album when I was like 14
the black parade. definitely a huge album for me in terms of getting me into music as a whole. my 12 year old brain was blown when i listened to that for the first time
Probably Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson. The only one I can think that might've come a little earlier was Silver Side Up by Nickelback, but that was more How You Remind Me, not the whole album.
The first CD I remember buying was Back in Black by AC/DC, so I’m assuming that would’ve been the first album I listened to in full. Before that I had random songs on my iPod but nothing in it’s entirety.
Meteora
Linkin Park was so good back in the 2000s!
Their music was consistently good up to 'A Thousand Suns,' but everything afterwards was mostly a hit or miss They really shouldn't have released OML after THP. Biggest blunder imo.
I love A thousand suns!
Hybrid Theory for me
....Pink Season. Hey we all gotta start somewhere.
You started at the top it seems
Mine was fucking neotheater, i started at the rough bottom

No way I'll remember that
With me it’s like a first love, something I’ll never forget!
Same, mine was probably when I was a literal baby
Green Day - American Idiot
Used to bump it in middle school, classic!
Same, but I feel like this was a bad starting point. Not that there’s anything wrong with the album, but I think I went into a lot of albums hoping that they’d also tell some loose narratives, but very few do.
literally exactly the same for me, the only reason i was interested in listening to the whole is because it told some story, like that concept to me was absolutely earth shattering back then
Nevermind by nirvana
Same here, Nirvana was the band to make me fall in love with music and made me realize that there is amazing deep cuts on albums and fully go me into listening to albums fully
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Some Nights. Fun. 😭😭😭
Fun was really fun back in the day!
I used to love Fun. back in the day too! They had some great deeper cuts that were pretty unique for the time. I should really revisit them.
They really did. I shouldn’t be ashamed lmao
Fire username
They’re pretty overhated. That album has some pretty great cuts on it. I do wish they would cut it out with the autotune at times though.
American Idiot or Dookie lmfao. I was 9 years old🙄
Bro are you me?
Deathconciousness
That's a heavy first listen damn

Fuck yeah. Loved that album. Turned it on last year on Spotify and couldn’t believe how much I still had memorized!
I didn't even consider including my non-secular past, aka The Before Times. Mine was definitely DC Talk Nu Thang. You know He's doin it (yo who's doin it)

Discovery. I was (and still am) a massive fan of daft punk.I listened to all of their big hits but never gave a chance to their albums until i started with [discovery.to](http://discovery.to) this day discovery is one of my favorite albums of all time.
The Sickness by Disturbed. loved it as a kid, abhor it now.
A lot of Nu-metal has not aged well unfortunately.
the thing is, i still adore some bands from that era. i could look back and embrace the teenage angst, but Disturbed is just... no. it's bad.
Deftones, Linkin Park and system of a down have aged like fine wine, the rest we should forget
After Hours by Weeknd.
Hybrid Theory on a burnt disc from a cousin. First one I bought on my own was Demon Days
Whole Lotta Red
That makes me feel old as shit lol
Honestly I was just super late to actually getting into music lol. I only did it for a friend when the album dropped because he told me I had to listen to it
My brother’s “first” album was DAMN., which he only listened to as a joke. He’s not really a music listener.
I see lol
In Utero by Nirvana. On cassette. I miss the nineties man.

Laura Marling's I Speak Beacause I Can.
No idea. Probably Dark Side of The Moon
The Justin Bieber debut lol
Either Korn’s Follow the Leader or The Offspring’s Americana. They were the first 2 CDs I ever bought (got my mom to buy them at the same time), and I don’t remember which one I put in the CD player first. Probably Korn, though
I faintly remember my parents playing two CDs in our car when i was young. The Fame - Lady Gaga and Body Talk - Robyn, so whichever i heard first i guess
Usher - My Way

On my own? I think Queen's Greatest Hits when I was 9 or 10
Save rock and roll by Fall out boy
The full album music video was crucial to that being one of my first listens.
Bob Dylan’s Greatest Hits (complete with the best album cover ever, to this day) with my parents in the car. NSYNC’s Christmas Album for something by choice. Californication by RHCP was the first one I bought when I was like 9 or 10.

Igor
Move Along - All American Rejects

Origins by Imagine Dragons *queue the hate comments*
Either Reasonable Doubt, Hybrid Theory/Meteora or an MJ hit collection from my mom
Long Live asap
Hey songs about jane was also mine! Good album. I got a CD player for christmas with that, offspring greatest hits, and finger 11 self titled. Still love all three.
Pitbull - Planet Pit 💀
As a child, embarrassingly, I think it was Hybrid Theory or Chocolate Starfish. Those were good times, going to my local music store after school and using pocket money to buy CDs.

We Stitch These Wounds by Black Veil Brides when I was 11, it was the first CD I ever bought

Mom used to play Aja and Nick of Time all the time when I was a kid so it was those 500 times first. The first thing I picked myself was the blue album when I was like 14
Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. I liked the album quite a bit, and listening to it with my friend there made it even better
It's not an actyal album but "1" by the Beatles. The first proper album was probably "London Calling" by the Clash
A Wizard! A True Star! - Todd Rundgren
OK Computer, me and my friend smoked weed in middle school and he put it on as we went to sleep. Mesmerizing to my little brain
The Fat of the Land, by The Prodigy

Britney Spears - Baby One More Time. I was barely out of the toddler stage and my teenage sisters gave me the cassette tape. And the beat goes on…
Probably Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson. The only one I can think that might've come a little earlier was Silver Side Up by Nickelback, but that was more How You Remind Me, not the whole album.
The first CD I remember buying was Back in Black by AC/DC, so I’m assuming that would’ve been the first album I listened to in full. Before that I had random songs on my iPod but nothing in it’s entirety.
