42 songs?

42 songs?

Yes. Every genre you can think of. Almost.

 

[Slunk]

Mellon Collie and The Infinite Sadness by the Pumpkins. Brutality next to love songs. A complete masterpiece.

 

[Jon Snow]

Beatles s/t

 

[Peter2903]

Diabolical Masquerade - Death's Design, 62 songs, overal duration about 45min, it's longest song is 2:10 and the shortest 0:06 i think

 

[Silent Dance With Death]

Led Zeppelin IV

 

[Ruun]

from the ones i like:

opeth - watershed

 

[Wander]

Weird question, which I can't answer.

The closest thing to a "perfect album" I've heard in years. Hopefully Mastodon's "Crack the Skye" will be up in the ranks once it comes out!!!! "Divinations" is a sick single.

not really diverse at all

there is no answer to this question. eos.

 

[sambojoho]

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - In Glorious Times

 

[Walls1441]

watershed and CTS are not diverse at all. lulz

I'm hoping Wintersun - Time will be the most diverse this year.


For some reason Dream Theater keeps coming to mind in this category. I know everyone in this thread is a hater because dream theater gets more public attention than opeth and you're butt hurt. But SFAM is a really amazing album.

I think my final answer will be Lesbian - Powerhor

 

[Vega Skater]

Mr Bungle - California

 

[Ruun]

if you compare watershaed to 90% of all music albums out there it definitely IS diverse.

 

[Chinese Whispers]

Dream Theater really aren't diverse at all.

In fact, diversity really isn't a calling card of metal to be honest. But in saying that, I don't want diversity in Reign In Blood, I want an unrelenting aural skull fuck assault or some other such stupidly descriptive phrase. Sure, metal has some contrast, but hardly much diversity - it still keeps coming back to a central sound pallette.

Good call by Slunk on Mellon Collie..., that album had so many differring styles on it that it was constantly described as 'unfocused' and 'self-indulgent' by the press when it was released.

 

[pyr0rrzzz]

Akercocke - Words that go unspoken, Deeds that go undone

 

[liveinflames]

Between the Buried and Me - Colors

 

[Ɛnslaved]

The 3rd And The Mortal - In This Room,this is the first that came into my mind.
