    So what are some of the weirdest albums you've heard?

    I'll start with The Residents' Not Available album. Even sober the album is a total headfuck. (Then again so is just about every Residents album... this is their best, though, IMO.)

    Another one -- Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica. It took me forever to make sense of this album (if that's possible). Some of the lyrics are so bizarre they make me laugh to this day.

    Scott Walker's last couple albums have been extremely bizarre, but mindblowingly awesome nonetheless.

    Einstürzende Neubauten's (tr. collapse of new buildings - a reference mark on the Richter scale) album Haus der Lüge is pretty weird, German industrial.

    I saw them back in the Nineties in Clapham Junction, they were great, banging sledge hammers
    and firing sparks everywhere with angle grinders :D

    this clip must be played loud!

    That's a good one yeah, I've heard of them years ago and tried to listen to them but most 'industrial' kind of music isn't spend well on me at all... It all sounds weird and unpleasant to me, including Rammstein and Kraftwerk. My loss I guess :p

    A notable exception is of course Ministry - Psalm 69 (but it is just really good industrial metal, not that weird at all)

    I uploaded this back in 2011, the 1993 album Otis by Violent Onsen Geisha. To this day, this is the most absolutely insane album I've ever heard, by quite a lot. Good luck.

    ^ Holy shit, I haven't listened to that album in a long time, hearing it now is bringing back memories, lol. I've actually taken mushrooms and put that album on with the intention of focusing on it directly, and I think that was the moment when I began to believe in demons :D
