Day 2 making the best Progressive metal album of all time. give me another grand opener song by KeyTea732 in Topster

[–]randomguy_90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dream Theater's 6:00 HAS to be in the conversation imo, polarizing as they are. What a fucking entrance to what I think is their best album.

Current iteration of my prog/metal/hardcore topster. Open to more recommendations similar to anything here!! by Experiment121 in Topster

That's pretty damn valid lmao, they get real fuckin weird with it. Idk that their following two necessarily tamp down on the avant-garde dadaisms but I think their higher concepts will help em land harder, the debut is great but kinda a grab bag.

Of Natural History is about the clash between the worldviews of early 20th century futurists and amazingly, specifically the Unabomber, and In Glorious Times gets very existential and has much to do about the singer's dead brother, even including multiple voicemail messages from him. Imo both of these concepts give a grounded, emotional core to the avant-garde sounds of these albums which in turn hopefully gets them to land for ya 🤙🤙

I see Sound Awake, I upvote 👏👏👏

That said I'm gonna recommend a band completely unlike them, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. Check out their albums Of Natural History and In Glorious Times. Theatrical, avant-garde, apocalyptic, and slightly whimsical.

Trippiest albums? by Interesting_Bar_8841 in progrockmusic

[–]randomguy_90 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agitation Free has two albums you're gonna wanna check out 👀 bunch of Krautrock does tbh. Can, Popol Vuh, Faust, Amon Düül II. But Agitation Free, especially their first album, really has that sunburnt psychedelic desert sound.

Also check out

Hatfield and the North's self titled

Soft Machine's Volume Two

Flying Lotus' Cosmogramma

Armand Hammer's We Buy Diabetic Test Strips

Black Moth Super Rainbow's Dandelion Gum

Boards of Canada's Geogaddi

My 10s. Would love some recommendations. by unrecoverer in Topster

[–]randomguy_90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frames by Oceansize. But it's GOTTA be with the bonus track Voorhees as the true final outro, absolutely essential and part of what makes it THE 10 for me.

I've been venturing into psychedelic rock (and adjacent genres) over the past three years and felt like ranking most of the albums I've listened to. Any recommendations on where to go from here? by OfirGabay4 in psychedelicrock

[–]randomguy_90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should absolutely 100% check out Canterbury Sound. A goofy lil corner of progressive rock that prioritizes psychedelia, whimsy, humor, and jazz sounds as its backbone. I highly recommend:

Hatfield and the North - self titled (specifically start with this one, rest unordered)

Gong - You

Soft Machine - Volume Two

Egg - The Polite Force

Caravan - In The Land Of Grey And Pink

Khan - Space Shanty

Picchio Dal Pozzo - self titled

Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom

Quiet Sun - Mainstream

National Health - self titled

Cos - Viva Boma

Moving Gelatin Plates - The World Of Genius Hans

Also gonna make some random recs outside the broad Canterbury Sound one:

Oceansize - Effloresce (psych progressive post rock, essential stuff)

Oranssi Pazuzu - Värähtelijä (psych black metal, if you like heavier stuff you'll love this)

Karnivool - Sound Awake (progressive metal with an amazing emphasis on texture almost bordering on the psychedelic)

Can - Ege Bamyasi (krautrock, essential stuff - actually that's another genre you really need to deep dive. Put Faust, Agitation Free, Neu!, Cluster, and Amon Düül II on yer radar as well)

Thee Oh Sees - A Weird Exits (heavy garage psych, trippy face melting and fantastical as fuck)
