Exile on Main Street is another double album masterpiece. All Things Must Pass is a triple album masterpiece. Hawt take? Use Your Illusion is too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick I think that's the charm of double albums though. I like the variety. The Wall is another one, IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can appreciate messy and chaotic (see The White Album), but the Illusions just feel simultaneously overcooked and underfocused to me. There’s good music to be found on there, but barely anything as good as the stuff on Appetite. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exile’s really interesting to me in that it barely has any of the Stone’s biggest hits (pretty much just Tumbling Dice), but it has tons of their best songs all across both discs. Not my absolute favorite from them, but worthy of all the praise it gets. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainy day Women. never liked it never will like it, lol but everything else.......prime Bob. Mick I guess if you had to point to one song on that album that’s clearly not like the rest of it, that would have to be the one. Works for me I think because I’d barely heard any Bob before I got that album, and I had no idea what the rest of the album was like, so I didn’t realize how jarringly out of place it is till I got pretty far into the record already, at which point I’d already decided I liked it.

Closest they got was Innuendo and Made In Heaven, which are double when on vinyl, but we’re really made for CDs and this have the feel and flow of long single CD albums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 Oh and what did I listen to today??? Lol Gabrielle Aplin - Phosphorescent Björk - Vespertine The Killers - Pressure Machine Thoughts on the first will be posted later in the album a week thread. Björk is always evocative, and this is one of her best. Honestly, I think I like Pressure Machine more than Sam’s Town. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a double album you might be interested in. Gami Gang by Origami Angel. They're mostly a punk/emo duo, but this album experiments with jazz, hip hop, metal, and more. It's only a little over 50 minutes, but they consider it a double album, as there's 20 songs, and their first album is about half as long. I've seen them live twice. The first time, they opened for State Champs. The second time they opened for The Wonder Years, along with Save Face and Spanish Love Songs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
