 Topic: Albums that sound quite different
Posted: December 14 2005 at 11:39 |
I bought the Lamb lies on Broadway recently and I was surprised how much darker the sound of Genesis in this album is when you compare it with Nursery, Foxtrot and Selling. But that does not make it bad for my ears!!!
So, what albums from a band sounds difeerent than the rest?
An other good example is Relayer, which sounds also very different than the rest of Yes albums.
A...and this only goes for bands that have a sound that they mantained over the years...so no King Crimson!!! jejeje

Dredg - El Cielo, a major improvement after Leitmotif (which is still a great record). Dredg matured so fast, i couldnt believe this was the same band that made leitmotif only 2 years before.

Well I definately agree with what you said about Genesis, Did you read my review of 'The Lamb...' I Posted Recently. It's obvious but i'll say it anyway, Yes' first two records are so different from 'The Yes Album', But they're still both excellent. Pink Floyd always changed too. The sound of 'The Dark Side of the Moon' compared to 'Wish you Were Here' is extremely different, and then 'Animals' again.

My choice include:
Somnambulist - The Paranormal Humidor (much darker than their first
album)
Citizen Cain - Playing Dead (Darker with prog metal overtones not found
in the previous albums)
Yes - Relayer (Much darker than their previous albums)
Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (The darkest album in their
catalog)
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Each of their albums is darker than the
one that came before it. And stranger too.

You guys think The Lamb is the darkest album in the Genesis catalog? That's
interesting, I never thought that. Onto albums that are different sounding...
Most King Crimson, specifically "Lark's Tongues in Aspic."
"Frances the Mute"
"Tales from Topographic Oceans"

You can't say that. That eliminating the point of the post. Most Crimson
albums are different and don't sound like anything else. In fact I would say
Crimson is the King at writing completely different compositions not
resembling much of any other band, so this taking Crimson out would take a
lot out of this thread.

VDGG's 'Still Life' sound much lighter and "cleaner" than their other albums, IMO.
Also, Brand X' 'Masques' sounds more tight and slightly different that 'Moroccan Roll' and 'Unorthodox Behaviour'

I'd say that Rush is one of the most un-static sounding bands as far as
the music goes. Through the years, it seems every other album had
a sound change.
You can pair them up and notice the progression of sound. Take the first 10 albums:
- Rush & Fly By Night
- Caress of Steel & 2112
- A Farewell to Kings & Hemispheres
- Permanent Waves & Moving Pictures
- Signals & Grace Under Pressure

I was gonna say that. The difference between RUSH and FLY BY NIGHT is like night and day. RUSH sounds a bit (ok; a LOT!) like Zep, while FBN came out of nowhere. "By-Tor and the Snow Dog"? What the hell was that?
