Albums you'll never forget listening to for the first time

[Thomas P 18,479]

Beyoncé Lemonade

I remember the Saturday it was coming out SOOOOOO vividly. I made sure I had a lot of links to live stream ready. I then went on to watch the OTR Tour HBO special on my tv. I listened to nothing but Beyoncé for a week in advance. Then I remember catching the last 20 minutes of Jurassic World before Lemonade started. And then Pray You Catch Me started. I almost started crying. And then at the very end of Pray You Catch Me....every ****ing site crashed! I was in a rage, and I kept coming back here to get new links, but NOTHING worked! I finally got one that ended up giving a virus to my laptop. It was this guy filming his tv, and  the audio kept coming in and out. I managed to see Love Drought, Sandcastles, Forward, and the beginning of Freedom, and then it crashed. Then my phone buzzed, and Beyoncé had just posted a the Lemonade album art on Instagram with the caption that it was out now on tidal. I got a link on this site, ripped the album on to my laptop, and listened 23 times, I kept count. I kept making threads on here too. The next day we went to go visit my grandpa in the hospital, and someone had sent me a link to Lemonade on Vimeo, the ENTIRE thing was on Vimeo for me to watch. I used all of my data in the car watching it. I then woke up the next day and it was on iTunes. I had earbuds in all day at school ignoring my teachers and friends just to listen. It was honestly one of the highlights of my life so far, no exaggeration. 

 

I would really like to say a gaga album, but I normally ruin my expericance by listening to the leaked version. It completely ruins the album for me, but I give into temptation. I will remember listening to ARTPOP for the first time for a while though. It was a big thing for me.

Lemonade was a grower for me. I didn't think much of it at first but then I realised I had been listening to it way more than anything else. I remember ARTPOP and Glory the most, and I'll always remember watching the iTunes festival for the first time when gaga started with aura.

OMG it's engraved in my brain.

Born This Way.

Even though The Fame Monster is my favourite album, it took me a good few months to have gotten into it.

However, after the anticipation of BTW, after listening to the album for the first time, I cried (believe it or not). Hair and TEOG had be bawling  upon first listens.

Marry The Night still slays me harder than any other song, and to this day, it has been her "peak" for me. I love everything about it.

Embarrassing answer: Taylor Swift - Red ... Broke up with my BF the day it came out. It was raining hard and I walked to the bus stop without an umbrella. A close friend of mine is a Taylor stan so I gave it a shot. The whole ride home was horrible. I was freezing, emotional, and confused whether I liked the album or not.

Same here. BTW is an extremely personal album for me. "Hair" will always be near and dear to my heart because I went to catholic school and we had uniforms as well and I would always get in trouble for wearing neon colored socks. It ripped my heart out every time I was forced to change them to the school issued white socks. They weren't just socks to me. They were my identity. They were the one thing I could use to make myself stand out.

Spoiler

I downloaded the leaks and was so stunned by the album.

John Wayne surprised me, it's just different and aggressive in a good way and I didn't expect that cause the snippet sounded boring.

I thought Sinner's Prayer was going to sound ordinary but the studio version slays the sh1t out of the live version and then there's Come to Mama and Hey Girl which left me utterly speechless because of the vocal improvement and diversity. I mean she's never sung like this before.

Diamond Heart, Dancin' in Circles are really typical Gaga but Come to Mama and Hey Girl were really something. The enunciation in those songs...
