 Topic: Biggest Transition Between 2 Albums
Posted: October 30 2014 at 13:02 |
What are the biggest transitions a band has made from one album to the next? Try and keep it so most of the members have stayed the same/there isn't a long gap or hiatus the band took (e.g. King Crimson's Red to Discipline). A couple of my favourites:
Genesis: From Genesis To Revelation - Trespass Harmonium: s/t - Si On Avait... The Moody Blues - The Magnificent Moodies - Days Of Future Passed Mike Oldfield - Earth Moving - Amarok
As always, thanks for any feedback  |

Ulver's done that with just about every album. Some of the transitions were somewhat gradual but a few of them were complete 180s (like, as in Black Metal to Acoustic Folk to Electronica to Post Rock). It makes them interesting to follow, but it's a little creepy too.

 Yep stop the search, Doug found the winner in Dedalus. Wow...talk about taking the road less travelled. I made an indecipherable review of it a good while back and I still stand by my words. Free jazz fusion meets the loony bin locals.

Oh, that would have to be Tales From Topographic Oceans to Relayer (I went for the obvious).

To say Ok Computer was a shock is an understatement, The Bends was an ok indie pop album with a hit single
