![]() ![]() ![]() Some often claim it to be an experimental masterwork, while others claim the absence of Jimmy Chamberlin and the sudden change in the band's image dragged down the impact of the record. After creating such a soul-bearing and exhausting record, where else can your creative spirit be free to roam? Billy Corgan experienced this exact conundrum after Mellon Collie, and the follow-up Adore is easily the most polarizing album in the Pumpkins' discography. However, once an album such as El Cielo is written, it often leaves a band in creative limbo. dredg (for the most part, at least) has been able to leap masterfully from one musical goal to the next, fulfilling their prospective alt-metal sound on Leitmotif and an atmospheric, more mature technique on the band's masterpiece, El Cielo. In order for a band to keep a strong, fervent fan base intact and still be building a respectable collection of music, altering or changing the main scope of their sound is nearly always an effective, if not wildly successful tactic. Variety and relevance go together in the music industry like bread and butter. That's really all that I listen to, along with metal, but as a whole almost any of my top picks are rock songs.Review Summary: While it is of course a step down from the excellence of El Cielo, I honestly can't imagine the band's follow-up sounding any other way. Red Hot Chili Peppers - By the Way (Why so much hate for this album?)Ĭounting Crows - August and Everything AfterĪnd many others just not coming to mind right now. Sting - Ten Summoner's Tales and Soul Cages Comfortably Numb is easily one of the best songs ever written (in my humble opinion.)Īnyway, a couple of others that I like are: Of course, that was also the album that got me interested in music to begin with, so that may be why it has particular meaning to me.įinally, if you liked Dark Side of the Moon, check out Pink Floyd's The Wall and Wish You Were Here. My all time favorite album, though, is probably Simon and Garfunkel's Sounds of Silence, especially the songs Blessed and The Sound of Silence. Peal Jam's Ten and Nirvana's Nevermind are two of my personal favorites. ![]()
