Today at More Discos, we're spinning tales of iconic albums that not only showcased an artist’s evolution but also transformed their entire musical trajectory. Let’s dive into some of the most pivotal albums that did more than just sound good—they turned the page to a whole new chapter.

Taylor Swift / The Tortured Poets Department

When Taylor dropped "The Tortured Poets Department," it was clear—she wasn’t in Nashville anymore. This album took us from catchy country tunes to deep, reflective ballads where every lyric felt like a page from her diary. Moving away from her country roots, Taylor embraced a pop persona that was darker, deeper, and way more dramatic. If you thought you knew Taylor Swift, this album was her saying, "You ain’t seen nothing yet."

Mac Miller / NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

This isn't just any performance; it’s Mac Miller stripping down his music and his soul at NPR's Tiny Desk. With his raw lyrical genius on full display, Mac delivered a set that was both intimate and eye-opening, showing sides of himself that were usually hidden behind upbeat tempos. This album is a profound glimpse into his personal evolution, recorded just as he was reshaping his musical identity.

Aphex Twin / Richard D. James Album

Talk about a game changer! Aphex Twin’s "Richard D. James Album" broke all the rules—sonic norms stood no chance. Known for his enigmatic presence in electronic music, this album was Richard D. James dialing up the complexity and the curiosity, merging haunting melodies with erratic beats. It was clear: Aphex Twin wasn’t just making music; he was engineering an entirely new sound.
