The pure agony of listening to those wonderful albums...

[J.]

I am now a God. I just made it through the entire Today is the Day catalogue in one day, all albums back to back. Bow down, my minions!

Sadness Will Prevail has got to be the hardest album in history to listen to all the way through. 144+ minutes of pure unlistenable chaos and madness. God, it's beautiful. It makes Nattens Madrigal look like Soilwork.

So what are some kick-ass hard-to-listen-to albums you guys enjoy?

 

[MajestikMøøse]

Sadness Will Prevail is a monumental work. I think I've only listened to it all the way through in one sitting once. I was considering giving it a listen all the way through recently, but I don't think I've be able to make it again.

 

[Black Winter Day]

In the Eyes of God is pretty good but that one album they did sucked. It had a gray, spiral cover.

 

[NAD]

Sadness Will Prevail is the definition of insanity. When I first got it I thought there was no way I would EVER make it through both discs, let alone in one sitting. Done it several times now, each time better than the last.

 

[Nate The Great]

Atomshasher and Phantomsmasher are pretty hard to get through, but when I do I think 'That RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULED!'

 

[Krilons Resa]

Thats one of my all-time favs and have listened it through plenty of times. So surreal and staright fucking chaotic.

Ya, the first couple Esoteric albums are tough too.

Khanate can be pretty grating, like piss you off, want to go crazy kind of feeling.

 

[Black Winter Day]

Khanate makes me want to puke, in a good way.

 

[MFJ]

I'd say Absu - Tara qualifies for this discussion. Indeed, it is nonstop haunting thrash terror, and it takes a lot to sit through entirely. Face melting speed.

 

[NAD]

I've never made it through Khanate - Things Viral.

 

[Nate The Great]

I love Khanate so much I want to touch my anus when I think about them.

 

[Krilons Resa]

I love Khanate so much I want to touch my anus when I think about them.

Just do it man. Quit talking about it.


PS - In comes the buttplugs thingy again.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Oh ya, Khanate spits on all of your pansy asses.

 

[NAD]

Yeah I didn't say that Khanate fucking splits my bung in half, because it so god damn doies.


FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK that is a RUCKED up albuem.

 

[Demonspell]

I've heard many bands that sound suicidal (and who would qualify for this thread as I can only listen to them in small doses), but few who sound like they're actually slitting their wrists during the recording process like Khanate...

 

[MajestikMøøse]

Where can I find the first three Today Is The Day releases?

Bad experience?

 

[MajestikMøøse]
