The Chemical Brothers have two.
Surrender - masterpiece. The entire album is about surrendering to the experience. It’s a concept around dance and rave culture. The album cover is one person lost in the music holding their arms up victoriously, and I believe playing a tambourine. Musically, it was something that had never been seen before. An electronic music group making essentially the rock music electronic ablum, and they nailed it. The Cameos from Bernard sumner, noel Gallagher, hope Sandoval of Mazzy Star, and samples by missy elliot are perfectly laid. It’s an incredible psychedelic experience.
Further - they broke from vocal collabs, used a plethora of vintage equipment, and had multiple bridges between songs to make things feel incredibly cohesive. It’s another journey album And hilariously or intentionally named after the bud that the merry pranksters drove around in frying on LSD in the 60s.
