Bands Where I Struggle To Listen To The Full Album

[@BlasphemousVerses]

I skip the song and only listen to the horror samples when I listen to Mortician.

[@747jono]

Couldn't play a AC DC album all the way through sorry. Totally agree

[@leonscoretzka801]

Would love to see a Deep Purple Album ranking!

[@alexhrycaj8429]

I can relate, but I’ve made it a discipline to listen to albums in their entirety. Just hit play and let it ride.

[@rokko9815]

Devourment is definitely my second fav band of all time, focus on the instrumentation, thats the focus, devourment's in obscene majesty are extremely creative and interesting, in butcher the weak and MTD, they're also pretty dang creative and interesting, production is raw but its just a matter of your ears adjusting to it

[@YONATOOTH]

I mainly listen to music on vinyl and that format makes it so you kinda need to listen to the full album or atleast one of the sides all the way through, so my Ulcerate records, even though I love them to absolute death, it can be almost kinda daring to put on one of their albums. Like I need to catch my breath for a second 😂

[@leonscoretzka801]

@@YONATOOTH understandable😂

[@Questformetal]

Ye ulcerate is pretty dense same as like a gorguts or deathspell but I do love them

[@jessebrennan7130]

I agree with you on a lot of that. Some albums I literally listen to half then later on listen to the 2nd half. That's where vinyl is convenient

[@jimmycampbell78]

AC/DC have had two singers on their studio albums, Bon Scott and Brian Johnson. You did an impersonation of Brian Johnson (Back in Black). I am not a huge fan of Brian's voice and I much prefer the Bon Scott era/1970s AC/DC, so if it's just about that then I agree with you. I do like Bon Scott's vocals though- or are they both similar to you and other people?

[@Questformetal]

Bon Scott is better for sure but I still haven’t managed a full album yet just half album listens with breaks inbetween

[@brockspence6833]

Devourment slander will not be tolerated

[@lydiarey262]

I agree 100% with your list except for Rush. Rush is my fave prog rock band ever, though I understand where you're coming from with the vocals thing 😂

[@officialwillieg2001]

You just don’t like the Brian Johnson vocals, You didn’t mention what you’ve thoughts were on Bon Scott🤷🏻‍♂️ same issue?

[@Inferius666]

Totally agree on AC/DC. The vocals are horrible

[@jimmycampbell78]

Both Bon Scott and Brian Johnson?

I also dont like the vocals and will never understand why so many people love them

[@PortugueseMACPOW]

@@bluewinter6660 Because in the 70s there weren't a lot of bands to listen too like today

[@DavyDredd14]

AC/DC - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (1976) This is their release, where I like to listen to the full Album.

[@jasonboardman2796]

Oh my god bro I was listening to Rush last night and I always love them I always will be especially with AC/DC.

[@stevsh89]

I often struggle with Megadeths albums due to Daves vocals, even if they have great individual songs I cant take too much

[@Messihaz]

You're so right about Geddy Lee's vocals

[@TheRealJoeNathan]

Gojira. It's a push-and-pull of songs I like and songs I don't like, all within the same album, so I skip around a lot. They're good every once in a while, but they get old quick. Coheed and Cambria. I like some songs, but the full albums can't keep my interest. Orbit Culture. Groove metal isn't my thing, and melodeath is hit or miss, but I love their blackened symphonic elements. The Shadowing is the only song I truly love, but they have some other decent songs like Behold and From the Inside I don't mind listening to, but a lot of the groovier stuff, like Vultures of North, does nothing for me.

[@TundraCH]

There are many for me... Queen, Rihanna, Beyonce, System of a Down, Korn, Soundgarden, Rage Against The Machine, The Police, the list goes on. I enjoy radio hits from all of these groups. However, I cannot sit through full albums, i get bored very quick. Just repetition of the same thing over and over becomes mindnumbing, it just becomes background noise eventually.

[@ThePuka]

Lorna Shore for sure. Sleep Token. Modern Megadeth. Modern Rob Zombie. Sick Of It All. Maybe it's not Metal but Pulse Demon by Merzbow....10 mins is enough

[@deadliestassassin3092]

I listen to my cds mostly at work which makes time go by quicker so i dont really struggle there. But if i'm at home nearly everything i listen to i never finish because i'm too busy with alot of things and i'd rather have peace and quietness unless its me playing my guitar. When i was younger i loved exploring all kinds of music but now today its nothing new and i dont really bother listening to newer bands. I stick to what i like and i know i wont struggle with it.

[@bdawg3942]

I’m seeing a bit of GNR hate. Try Estranged and Rocket queen. Try reading the lyrics & stories behind them. I maybe a bit biased towards Estranged, but I knew a few to suicide growing up and this song takes me back 😢

[@kingnotail3838]

Honestly, I struggled with Deathspell Omega.

[@paulfaulkner2855]

I struggle to get through Quest for Metal videos, even the short ones. I skip half of it and just pay attention to the ranking or bands being listed and cut out the talking parts.

[@synystersanta1017]

I agree with AC/DC. And rings sucks. But Devourment is great. I feel the same way as you about black metal such as burzum or dark throne or immortal. It sounds like one giant long song. :)

[@paulwhite1109]

Back in Black is excellent and I can listen all through but some of their other albums the quality lets them down. Slipknot for me, like the singles and some others but no all of any album. Testament Formation of Damnation. People go mad for this but for me I like More Than Meets the Eye but then nothing else, and I love Testament. Morbid Angel - this is slightly different, I can listen to Altars of Madness, brilliant, but their other albums aren't for me. People won't like this but Bolt Thrower. Some bits are good but the riffs get a bit boring after a bit. A bit too simple and the riff goes on for ages, sometimes I can't make it through a song.

[@honzivideos1471]

Let There Be Rock is only AC/DC album, that I can listen full

[@FaerieGoatmother]

I'm from the mixtape era and seldom listen to a full album by one metal band all at once. But a partial list of partial albums would include Once Was Not - the last four songs. It would be an impressive accomplishment except that all of the only good Cryptopsy songs are on that album. Sacrament - if they stopped at track seven. Again, the only LOG that anyone needs. Grand Declaration - enough said. And shout out to Envenomed by the always competent and workmanlike Malevolent. It's three songs too long to be a perfect DM album. Very common phenomenon, Pierced From Within is about four songs too long to qualify.

[@ElGuapo8]

Hard disagree on Rush and AC/DC. It's almost essential to listen to a Rush album all the way through to get the best experience. AC/DC, at least with their very best albums (Highway to Hell, Back in Black, etc.), are easy listens all the way through due to the sequencing and production. A band that's hard for me to listen to all way through is Deafheaven. Even with their really good albums like Sunbather, the music and the vocals just wear me out. Same with The Mars Volta.

[@greatloverofmusic1]

Thank you getting the Rush experience.

[@detkorista5900]

Tho only one I just couldn't get through whole album was DSBM especially Gris. But then after half of the year I came back and listend to the rest of the album and I really enjoy it. And now I can say that DSBM is my favorite Black Metal genre and I can finally get through the whole album in a row. That's how far I get.

[@PortugueseMACPOW]

ACDC are a better band than Kiss, but at least Kiss has 2 vocalists which add variety to the whole album

[@metallicjohn1986]

Agree with you on Slam. Any Slam album that's longer than 30 mins isn't getting a full listen from me. Its quick, to the point music imo, shouldn't stretch it out.

[@arto2533]

Rush songs are all fine until the moment the guy starts singing. I guess the weird one for me is Behemoth. I initially thought that I just loved some of their songs way more than others. So, I made a 50-minute compilation of my favorites, but nope...can't listen to that in full either.

[@Rosterized]

not gonna lie I mostly listen to 30 minutes at a time anyways so even if an album is good but its longer its most likely going to be a 2-3 part listen from me. Unless its a *really* captivating album which flows so good I dont notice the time flying by

[@threestringsomg]

Tool, Thin Lizzy, Megadeath, Mastadon, Ne Obliviscaris....I will add more as I think further.... Elvis Costello, Fear Factory, Machine head, Motorhead ans Led Zeppelin - ive listened to whole albums repeated in the past by all these bands....and i cant finsh these days from boredom and sometimes inexplicable irritation....

[@frankmathiesen1779]

I Have no problem listening to the AC/DC Bon Scott era full albums but from Back In Black and onwards a couple of songs is fine. Megadeth and mustaines vocals pains me after a couple of songs and Axl Rose too. Most modern metal albums that are overproduced and have that very clean sound gets to static for me im more into the raw oldschool sound.

[@Mason1729]

I enjoy technical and progy kinds of metal (extreme or not) quite a lot, as I find they can get pretty clever with the songwriting when done well, even if it can enter the realm of wankery at times. But Rings of Saturn genuinely sounds grating to me. It feels like a parody of the style.

[@evanwhitaker3196]

Rings of Saturn, Archspire, any of that type of modern, over processed tech death stuff I personally cannot stand. It all sounds fake to me. Like it's A.I. generated. Robotic and completely soulless.

[@TundraCH]

Well I'm going to explain to you why it's my favorite style of death metal, you dont have to agree of course, just saying where I come from. I'm a fan of metalcore first and foremost, it's always been my favorite style of metal. When I listened to these modern tech death bands it had a modern production akin to these melodic metalcore bands, be it Trivium, or Killswitch Engage. I enjoy the clinical nature of the music, and just really clicks me. I can, of course, see your side of it, however. Overproduction is very much a thing that happens in modern death metal, just not a thing that irks me much.

[@evanwhitaker3196]

@@TundraCH I can understand liking modern death metal if you like metalcore or deathcore. I never cared for metalcore personally, but I did like more well produced, polished metal back when I was a teenager. Now I'm in my late 30s and all I want to hear is weird, obscure, terrible sounding black metal haha. Crazy how tastes can change over the years.
