Twin Fantasy was one of my favorite albums last year and still is one I come back to quite often. Beach Life-in-Death is one of my favorite songs of all time.
Have you listened to the original version before? The 2018 remaster is great, but to me there's just something about the messy DIY aesthetic of the Bandcamp release that punches you in the gut with emotion. It's hard to explain, but once you get it, it'll slap you in the face and you will feel sad. Beach Life-In-Death is a huge highlight for me as well, so good.

ITAOTS is a classic and I adore all 3 parts of King of Carrot Flowers.
ITAOTS was
the album that got me into music. It was also the first album I ever bought on vinyl.

I also really love Radiohead, but it's hard to choose between Ok Computer, In Rainbows, and Kid A for my favorite album of theirs. I also really love the Bends.
I'm admittedly not a huge fan of Radiohead. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they're a bad band, but aside from OKC, nothing really stands out to me. Kid A has never been my cup of tea, but I can definitely see why people enjoy it. Idioteque is fun, and The National Anthem is pretty cool, but other than that, I'm just not the biggest fan. Same with The Bends- I can understand the appeal, but for me it's just not my thing. I do really enjoy Thom Yorke's solo stuff, though- Anima is one of my favorite records of the year so far.

. King Gizzard is also a great band. Haven't gotten around to listening to their latest record yet, but Nonagon, Microtonal, and Fishing were all great!
King Gizz is incredible. I got to see them live a few weeks back and it was genuinely one of the craziest experiences of my life. The setlist was perfect, nothing but bangers the whole way through. Insanity. Also, listen to Infest The Rat's Nest. It's wild.

Wasn't the biggest fan of Arctic Monkeys' latest record, but their old stuff and AM are great rock records.
Can't say I blame you on not liking Tranquility Base as much. It's a cool concept, but it's definitely their weakest album.
