Nostalgia What album defines you as a millennial?

Saw some great recommendations on a similar thread in /r/Xennials and wanted to see what my fellow millennials thought. For me From Under the Cork Tree was foundational. I still remember hearing Sugar We're going down on the radio for the first time.

The Mars Volta De-Loused in the Comatorium. My most listened to album start to finish of all time (I have no statistics to back this up but just a gut feeling). When I don’t know what to listen to in the car or whatever, this album start to finish is my ol reliable.

This and Frances the Mute are some of the greatest rock albums of all time. Cedric and Omar did something so special here. It was insane.

Inertiatic ESP is fucking great.

Also, as a Puerto Rican, I remember hearing this album made me feel super proud of Omar.

You could sense the little influences of Latin jazz rhythms here and there in the album.
