What's the most inaccessible album you've ever listened? Especially for all of those who say that Trout Mask Replica and Death Grips are extremely accessible (which I don't necessarily disagree with)
Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished
I can listen to harsh noise just fine but not this one. It actually gives me a headache/makes my eyes sore.
any Bjork album. i can't stand her hardtry voice

>>75071700
Soundtracks for the Blind
>>75071700
Current 93 - I have a special plan for this world
Swans - Sountracks for the blind
>>75071700

>>75071830

There was some thrash metal with spotty production that drove me completely mad. I hate it when the bass and drums are completely clear in the mix but for some reason or another the guitar sounded like it was recorded in the hallway outside the studio.
>>75071830
A funny, funny, funny man.
>>75071878
why is The Drift on there? I'm a sucker for accessibility and I thought that album was fine
>>75071878
nigga a lot of these albums ain't that hard to get into it, btw from Brotzmann I would say that Machine Gun is more unaccesible than Nipples
>>75071878
which album is 50 hours?
>>75071911

Breakdancing Ronald Reagan (8/8) is 24 hours, idk about the 50h one

Is the Drift on there? I see Bisch Bosch.
Anyways, it is longer, has less consistent structures, some people could be unsettled by certain parts of the music and especially the subject matter.
>>75071926
Some of them are endurance from the length, i.e. one is pretty neat glitch hop but the album itself is four hours long, while a lot of people don't like music that goes beyond four minutes.
>>75071864
This is pretty neat, thanks.
>>75071864
The album wasn't that inaccessible tbqh, I clicked play and it started
>>75071848
Same. Didn't enjoy it
>>75071942
bitch, this is /mu/, not normieville, most people here konws about genres like Free Jazz, Avant-Garde, Harsh Noise, Rock in Opposition, or Musique Concrete so for /mu/ most of this albums are not that inaccesible.
>>75071700
If we're only counting albums I wasn't able to finish in one sitting and just gave up on and never finished (out of 4500+ including stuff like 4 hours straight of shortwave number stations), there's only like five and the worst may have been Want by 3OH!3 or Pink Friday by Nicki Minaj
But if you mean inaccessible as in can't enjoy it as much as everyone else, there's many other choices and it's pretty normal
Like a lot of obscure Krautrock that is praised as the best thing ever just sounds derivative or generic to me so it's inaccessible in a fashion
Like a lot of music will sound great if you listen to it a lot so I imagine inaccessible would mean if it turns you off on the first listen in which case something like TMR makes sense theoretically but it depends where you're coming from
Inaccessibility is all a matter of perspective, if you are going into an album, wanting something other than what it has to offer, it will be inaccessible
Like if you go into Metal Machine Music wanting Loaded (with Shit), it's a very inaccessible album, but if you go into it wanting some soothing goodness, it's a fantastic album
>>75071848
awesome album.
an album that threw me off how harsh it is when compared to how popular it is is Jane Doe. I never thought it would be that harsh.
>>75071878
how is Komara s/t difficult? it's just a fun zany prog record
>>75071841
you mean "that" album where a innocent looking girl on the cover?
>>75072516
i listened to it like a couple minutes ago because the cover looked nice
it's not difficult at all, it's actually really fucking good
>>75071878
roll
that one merzbow one
You're like a little baby, watch this
>>75072516
>fun zany prog music
Not even that, it's literally just pop music with heavy guitars. I don't see how more people don't enjoy this album.
>>75071878
what is doll doll doll doing on here
Just you try to get through a whole album of this:

Also even though I'm very likely the gayest fag in my whole state I will never be as gay as Blood on the Dance Floor. It's too gay, I can't bear to listen for very long.

reminder that narcissism means inventing ideas that lead nowhere and convincing people to follow the ultimate leader who knows best, i.e. you.
Smugness is NOT narcissism. Just stop it you shallow cunts, it's even more remote from its original meaning than autism.
>>75072009
This guy's onto something.

anklepants is pretty accessible man what are you on about

Bull of Heaven's 'Like A Wall In Which An Insect Lives And Gnaws' is literally 5.7 years long.
If we're talking something someone could actually tangibly listen to, then my vote'd go to Pulse Demon, it's a giant meme but fuck if it isn't a difficult listen.
Probably something by Nurse with Wound or Current 93

>By the time, 310: ΩΣPx0(2^18×5^18)p*k*k*k is their longest release, and lasts for 3.343 quindecillion years.
The Jonestown Death Tape deserves an honorable mention as challenging, but I would not call it inaccessible.

What do you mean by inaccessible? Do you mean like obscure? Something not a lot of people know about? Or judging by some of the replies accessible means it has a narrow appeal. Either way I'll throw this out there.
AMMMusic or Sun Pandemonium
I like a lot of modern EAI and glitch in general, but these two are distinctly abstract and unwelcoming that I felt lost as I was listening
Stabscotch - Uncanny Valley
You may be able to like it but try listening to the whole album in one go
honestly pulse demon. but it doesnt even try to be music honestly

>>75071805
That might not be accessible but it's not hard to listen to

fuck me can someone help me with finding that album? can't into moonrunes

Honestly it's easier to fall asleep to Public Castration than SftB for me...
>>75074304
I find StfB to be a pretty comfy album. It has some straight up jumpscares like YRP 2, but other than that I find that all the shrill synths and spoken word samples throughout the album almost gives it an ASMR quality
>>75071700
I'm listening to this for the first time. Not sure if inaccessible or just fucking shite.
