The four hundred and fourty-ninth album: Public Image Ltd - Metal Box
Metal Box becomes a post-punk mess at times, a collection of sounds that feels thrown together without much of a thought. The album was improvised, and that's clear from the different directions the tracks take, but it's done with a level of skill that keeps it listenable - as much as it may seem like a cacophony, it's one that draws you in with its ideas rather than becoming off putting. There's not much of an identity to the album, but the different parts are interesting to listen to with each song its own new turn.
