I remember hearing it at a party early 1991. The party stopped and we all just listened and asked questions about the band. Played it three or four times start to finish, even waiting for the “secret groove” on the last song.
It destroyed the poppy hair metal that dominated rock back then. There were maybe fifteen of us at that party and one Nirvana CD. In four days every one of us had bought the album.

The best album is always a time and place thing. If you're slamming an 80's Camaro on a county road with a couple road sodas in 1990, Appetite for Destruction from GnR is going to be a life changing experience.
If you're a teenager in 1980 and pissed off at your ex, Rumors will hit hard.
If you played dark side of the moon the first time you smoked weed with your friends you'll think you have witnessed a greatness that has never been seen before.
But the REAL answer is Tool. If you GET tool you get it in ways that other music just can't touch. For me, without exaggeration, micro dosing on mushrooms while solo hiking through the Appalachian mountains with 10,000 days at full volume might have saved my life.

Dark Side Of The Moon is obvious, it's a clichéd answer for a reason.
For anyone looking for an alternative answer, Metropolis Part 2: Scenes From A Memory by Dream Theatre is my pick. Just unbelievable.
