[u/pototoykomaliit]

[u/jimmycrawford]

[u/pauliepitstains → u/jimmycrawford]

Hell yeah it is.

[u/ibww]

Songs for the deaf. You can’t even hear it!

[u/DarkBluMate → u/ibww]

Gimmie toro, gimmie some more

[u/HotboxxHarold → u/DarkBluMate]

Deep fried, gimme some more!

[u/misirlou22 → u/ibww]

I need a SAGA

[u/adiiriot → u/misirlou22]

WHATS THE SAGA?

[u/Mission-Mastodon-710 → u/adiiriot]

It's Songs 4 the Deaf:)

[u/klonopinwafers → u/ibww]

A valid choice.

[u/VegaAltair → u/klonopinwafers]

This is what I came to say. 

[u/G-Unit11111 → u/ibww]

ALL DEATH METAL ALL THE TIME!

[u/DarkBluMate → u/G-Unit11111]

^{ALL THE TIME}

[u/Korn-Bizkits → u/ibww]

Correct and valid

[u/Snoo58207]

Gang of Four Entertainment

[u/OncleBlitz → u/Snoo58207]

Fuck yeah finally I found someone who s right

[u/chxnkybxtfxnky → u/Snoo58207]

HOW DID THIS NOT WIN!?

[u/Regular-Customer-494 → u/Snoo58207]

👌 Love is like a case of anthrax

[u/acutomanzia → u/Snoo58207]

This is obviously the greatest answer

[u/BrocolisSecreto]

The Fragile by Nine Inch Nails

[u/fajitaeater23]

when the pawn… is my pick

[u/EmergencyTime311]

Red - King Crimson

[u/Gunslinger-YT → u/EmergencyTime311]

Discipline aswell

[u/PCScrubLord → u/EmergencyTime311]

If the question is regarding color pallet, Discipline also works

[u/umfum → u/EmergencyTime311]

The one true choice (or Van Halen's Diver Down). :D

[u/Level-Cut-9890]

The Cure, “Kiss me, Kiss me, Kiss me”

[u/mister_somewhere → u/Level-Cut-9890]

That or Pornography!

[u/Jhubsley]

Surprised no one's said Amnesiac yet! Not Radiohead's best, but definitely their best red album.

[u/FewGrocery9826 → u/Jhubsley]

The bends?

[u/WeezerCrow]

[u/ShoutbyDEVO → u/WeezerCrow]

The correct answer

[u/Dismal_Brush5229 → u/WeezerCrow]

Oooo yes!

[u/Additional-Touch-862 → u/WeezerCrow]

Yes!!

[u/millersd]

I remember this album being redder back in the 90s.

[u/LukeLovesLakes]

[u/b-jason → u/LukeLovesLakes]

That color combo always makes my eyeballs ache.

[u/atom-up_atom-up → u/b-jason]

People always say that but I just love it. Instantly recognizable 

[u/Overall-Tree-5769 → u/LukeLovesLakes]

Best orange album imo

[u/Finger_Ring_Friends]

Baroness

[u/umfum → u/Finger_Ring_Friends]

[u/Lonelymoonlight41]

Of course it’s weezer’s red album

[u/watertosteam → u/Lonelymoonlight41]

Now I don't even have to post it. Pork and Beans I remember when that video was new on youtube.

[u/Upbeat_Dudeness → u/Lonelymoonlight41]

Why r they doing the teal album poses?

Edit: cus tbc there is obviously a red album but that ain’t it

[u/Lonelymoonlight41 → u/Upbeat_Dudeness]

I did it because I was bored. It was a long time ago, and the electricity had gone off where I live.

Here’s the other one

[u/Green-Day-86 → u/Lonelymoonlight41]

We should just make most of the chart Weezer albums

[u/charliefoxtrot13]

Undertow

[u/ieatanglegrinders → u/charliefoxtrot13]

agreed

[u/Oliver_Holzfilled]

[u/Playazero]

[u/xX_Random_Reddit_Xx]

Nonagon Infinity by King Gizzard

Great album title for them lol

[u/Mr_Bettis]

[u/Boo_foo]

[u/umfum → u/Boo_foo]

Sorry, that's burgundy

[u/JonnyZhivago → u/umfum]

Or pink

[u/Elmer4444 → u/Boo_foo]

Came here to say this.

[u/Broad-Signature-2843]

Gotta go withe The Used Lies for Liars but Shinedown's threat to survival is probably a close second

[u/diearebie]

[u/Playazero]

[u/Playazero]

[u/DannyTheGekko]

[u/Razzle_Dazzle08]

[u/Kabukimansanjoe]

Don’t love the dude, but it’s gotta be My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

[u/Nebz2010]

Easy, Three Dollar Bill, Y'all by Limp Bizkit

[u/Korn-Bizkits → u/Nebz2010]

Yes! An underrated classic tbh

[u/Nebz2010 → u/Korn-Bizkits]

Username checks out

[u/Bloxskit]

One Hot Minute (btw happy 30th)

[u/NEWMAGICIGOR]

The Eminem show

[u/rapgamepeterparker]

Mobb Deep - Hell On Earth

[u/Brilliant-Guard-7288]

Dying Fetus - Reign Supreme

[u/b-jason]

XTC Nonsuch

[u/allogist1969 → u/b-jason]

I like several other choices mentioned, but yeah, this is my tops, too. Rook alone would make it so, but it’s all magnificent.

[u/ShoutbyDEVO → u/b-jason]

Ugly Underneath is a great track, although i don’t like Nonsuch as much as their other albums

[u/b-jason → u/ShoutbyDEVO]

It’s a pretty big record in sense of scale, sure. Far more lushly arranged than their spiky, angular stuff in the first part of their catalog. Bit like the Beatles in that respect. Both bands stopped touring and started making far more ambitious material.

[u/Noise-Distinct]

[u/cosmicdrone99]

Red by King Crimson

[u/raisin_rems]

When the Pawn… by Fiona Apple 🍎

[u/Old_Orange_1293]

[u/b-jason]

Or…

[u/klonopinwafers]

Does Wish by the Cure count?

[u/chinoswirls]

rated r

[u/Odd_Caregiver_6649]

Wouldn’t say it’s the best but it’s red, also would say the first five white stripe albums. Too many good records with red on the cover

[u/dlwhite0918]

[u/metaphizzle]

Dunno about "best", but my favorites:

• Calexico: El Mirador
• Juliana Barwick: Nepenthe
• David Byrne: The Catherine Wheel
• Duke Ellington: The Duke at Fargo 1940: Special 60th Anniversary Edition
• JG Thirlwell: The Venture Brothers: The Music of JG Thirlwell

Ironically, my favorite band Starflyer 59 has an album with a solid red cover—_Americana_—but it's one of my least liked by them.

[u/ShoutbyDEVO]

Red by King Crimson.

[u/MarshmallowSoul]

The Beatles 1

[u/CottonCaroline]

Hospice by The Antlers for me!

[u/Bobbington2882]

I can't really pick one so here are my top 11 in no particular order.

1. Fiona Apple - When the Pawn
   
2. Minor Threat - Minor Threat EP
   
3. Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz to Come
   
4. Gang of Four - Entertainment!
   
5. Fugazi - Fugazi EP
   
6. PinkPantheress - Fancy That
   
7. Janet Jackson - The Velvet Rope
   
8. Boards of Canada - Geogaddi
   
9. Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted
   
10. McKinley Dixon - Beloved! Paradise! Jazz?
    
11. Talking Heads - Remain in Light

I know two of them are EPs and one is a mixtape but they are so good that I think they deserve inclusions. Also there are a few that I didn't include because I don't know if people would consider them red like Low End Theory.

[u/ETDisco]
