Pretty much every Tom Waits album has a good spoken word piece in it
Jeremiah Scott
This one had some hilarious skits in between the songs
Brayden Morris
When it comes to spoken word, Coil are the ones who do it best imo
Jayden Turner
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Eyes Like the Sky

Julian Morris
doesn't really count, but Hendrix is the best ad-libber
very good choice bud
Isaiah Price
Not sure why this album isnt praised often here, its so fucking good
Luke Hall
lift to experience- The Texas Jerusalem Crossroads. Also just generally an amazing album that gets nowhere near enough love.
Angel Rodriguez
not spoken word
Hudson Taylor
musically it's not as good as some of his earlier ones and it's not as sad as it could have been so it doesnt get the "le so sad" kids praising it
Blake Carter
He said great albums.
Nathaniel Stewart
>but hes speaking words
Joshua Foster
Minutemen - Double nickels on the dime
Wyatt Hall
Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada by Godspeed You! Black Emperor. The second track has a lot of it
also their albums Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven, and F#A# Infinity
Have A Nice Life has some good spoken word samples. The song Cropsey, as well as Destinos come to mind
others have suggested Giles Corey's self titled album-- I wouldn't call it "music" but the other album "Deconstructionist" has repetitive, dark vocal samples similar to Soundtracks for the Blind
The album "666" by Aphrodite's Child is a psych-rock re-imagining of the Book Of Revelation, which has some spoken word portions
The violinist from Godspeed was involved in a one-album project called Valley of the Giants. The track "Whaling Tale" is the only one with spoken word, but it always stuck out and really resonated with me
youtube.com
The Evpatoria Report has some spoken word samples, particularly on their album Maar, which IIRC, has at least 2/4 tracks with some spoken word. They're similar to Godspeed but less interesting, however they're like, one of the best who imitate them
Finally, worth mentioning is Blithe Field. It's a nostalgia fueled ambient project that makes me feel like a kid when i listen to it, and is the most positive emotion-wise out of the group. Lots of samples of the artist's home video audio from when they were growing up. The album Old/New Songs is my favorite. This is from a different album, but to give you an idea what the sample are like, it samples a voice mail message left by a friend of the artist
