Albums that are like a full song in themselves So last year I happened upon a band named Marianas Trench, and found their album ‘Ever After, and it’s fantastic, and I’m still listening to it as a full list now. All of the songs link into each other, the ending and beginning of each track are made so they switch in a way that flows, and the first song, ‘Ever After’ and last song ‘No Place Lik…

What are your personal “most disappointing albums”? We probably all have an artist/band who’s output we’ve loved and it seems like they can’t miss. Then they drop a new album and you listen to it. Then you listen to it again. Then you give it one more try. Finally, you realize “I hate this”. Mine are Mos Def: New Danger. Loved Boack Star. Loved Black on Both Sides. Wait 5 years for a follow up an…

Albums that rock from beginning to end? What are some albums that from the get go the end just keep the party going? Not to say they don’t have a ballad or two, but that generally consist mostly of rockers. For me, examples would include Master of Reality by Black Sabbath, Back in Black by AC/DC, Ragged Glory by Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Some Girls by the Rolling Stones, and the ver…

What are some great albums that tell a story from start to end? I’m listening to The Streets – A grand don’t come for free, for those who haven’t heard it, the album tells the story of a lost £1000, the effect it has on Mike (the performer), a rocky relationship with his girlfriend, a huge fall out with his best friend, and ultimately everything coming back together for a happy ending. It’s a really well put…

What are the heaviest albums ever that are NOT part of any Rock or Metal genres? Like okay, obviously death metal or mopey sad emo rock or whatever is heavy. I want to know what’s heavy that doesn’t depend on heavy guitar riffs and loud distortion. I want something that sounds dark and grim, or that makes you want to jump up and break shit, or just cry. I’m inspired by the Run the Jewels album RTJ4, which is all rap and hip …

To Pimp A Butterfly should be in the conversation for the one of the best albums ever Does To Pimp A Butterfly deserve to be in the conversation for the one of the greatest albums ever? I was never a big fan of rap/hip-hop and always listened to older rock albums like DSOTM, Animals, Wish You Were Here-Pink Floyd Abbey Road, Revolver-The Beatles Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust-David Bowie Thriller-Michael Jackson But I heard so …

Are there any albums that were remastered that actually took them from bad to great? People always talk about albums that have good songs, but the production makes the album bad. Has remastering ever completely flipped an album from bad to great? submitted by /u/UmbertoEcoTheDolphin

Your favourite albums that everyone hates Just noticed that a lot of my favourite albums by my favourite artists are hated by critics, fans and even by the band itself. Why is this happening?? For example: Radiohead: Hail to the Thief (hate is a strong word but critics and fans alike feel it’s their weakest album). Thom Yorke broke my heart saying he dislikes the song Backdrifts. Linki…

Artists that covered full albums? Is there some artist that covered a full body of work by some other artist? For whatever reason. I tried to google it but didn’t find anything. submitted by /u/cheesegrandey

Do you hold onto your physical albums or get rid of them after a while? I’ve heard of people selling or donating their music albums that they’d had for a while, as some people seem to prefer to just stream music these days. I’ve even heard of some people who have said they’d thrown away their whole collection of CDs into the garbage. I got to wondering, is this a common thing these days? I still have my collection o…

Bands that didn’t fade away. (Albums didn’t just get lame as the band aged) So many bands age poorly. Some of my favorites just don’t really hold up as they age and change their sound. Not a lot of bands have put out an album that I would consider ‘my favorite’ 20 years into their career. Tool. Tool did it with Fear Inoculum. I get the complaints of many about MJK’s singing not having the intensity it used to. Having b…

What modern bands have great latter day albums? Modern meaning 80s 90s onwards I guess. A few that come straight to mind are Sonic Youth, Blur and Dandy Warhol’s. All these bands have released good records well into their career. submitted by /u/TechnicalTrash95
