Fort Minor's The Rising Tide. Worth the price for "Remember the Name" alone, which is ostensibly a history of the band but really a meditation on being an artist: "Ten percent luck/twenty percent skill/fifteen percent concentrated power of will/five percent pleasure/fifty percent pain/and a hundred percent reason to remember the name."

The album also has lots of politics and social commentary, including "Kenji," a song about the internment camps for Japanese-Americans based on the history of the songwriter's grandfather.
