Best album I own, well, choosing one particular album is always hard. However, I recently made a top 20 list of my favorite albums of all time (which is, of course, ever-changing, but well) so I'll just pick the album I listed as #1 - that one being Fiona Apple's 'When The Pawn...'.
Picking a highlight on this album is pretty much impossible, as simply every song is astonishingly great - although Paper Bag is a particular favorite. The way the whole album is performed is simply perfect. Although not anywhere near over-produced, it ís in fact flawless - every single sound seems to be in the exact right place. The lyrics are amazing as well - an excerpt from Paper Bag:
Quote:
And I went crazy again today
Looking for a strand to climb
Looking for a little hope
Baby said he couldn't stay, wouldn't put his lips to mine
And a fail to kiss is a fail to cope
I said, Honey, I don't feel so good, don't feel justified
Come on, put a little love here in my void
He said, It's all in your head
I said, So is everything, but he didn't get it
I thought he was a man but he was just a little boy

Thinking this through once more, I am in fact 100% sure that this is the best album I own (and it's the best album ever made, imo). Simply outstanding.
