10 Modern Albums That Prove Psychedelia Is Alive And Well

An album that can't be better summed up than by the musicians themselves: "It's a feeling."

Full of glitchy, out of this world beats and abrupt time signature changes that leave no songs sounding anything like each other, the debut LP by Shabazz Palaces stands strong as one of the best hip hop albums of our time. 

It's dizzying. The beats are quietly bizarre. The intensity doesn't come from a quick, aggressive flow but rather a gradual sensory overload. It may not be the kind of album that brings you in on the first listen - the hooks are far and in between on here. But its an interesting record that will reward nonetheless. 

The sonic lengths that it goes to are unlike anything I've ever heard. This is jarring music. The whole album is a trip. It bears a unifying feeling that is ridiculously refreshing and conjures up visions of music's future.
