this is correct
dont listen to these starfuckers:

stadium arcadium
>>52693518
good pic. never would have thought of it off the top of my head but i totally agree.
>>52693640
"Starfucker" was be reasonable insult if they were supporting the more popular album, but they aren't.
>>52693655
l i t e r a l l y came here to say this

yes.
Also, Baroness - Yellow and Green.

This is acceptable.

stop
>>52693640
shut up,both are equally good
>>52693502
Please. That entire right side is forgettable filler. Reznor should have just released the left side as the album and nothing more.

>>52694480
no one cares about pitchfork lmao
These four tracks are far too interesting and dense to be considered filler in my opinion.
I think to a lesser extent, the same principle applies to this >>52693497
>>52694415
I want to agree, but I wonder about Lover's Rock. I don't mind it when I listen to the album but I would never listen to that song by itself.
Ah, what the hell. I'll second.
>>52694380
The Fragile has mediocre and awkward tracks, but The Frail is not one of them. It's beautiful and makes the perfect transition between The Day the World Went Away and The Wretched.
>>52693909
Not quite, but still my favourite double album ever.
>>52694415
That's one disc.
>>52693422
Agreed.
>>52694415
Agreed, except for Wrong 'Em Boyo. Always hated that track.
Pic related is my entry, come at me p4k drones.
>>52693948
But that's their worst album, and I'm not counting anything Faux Floyd came out with after.

The second disc huffed mad dong though.

>>52694621
But Where Boys Fear to Tread has one of the coolest intros on that album.

>>52693422
>>52694547
But the concept of filler doesn't really apply to ambient or drone albums, frankly. Or very rarely. Unless you want to be a smartass and say that all ambient is filler.
>>52694621
...These are the tracks you consider "filler" on Mellon Collie? I don't understand your taste. The only one I agree on is We Only Come Out at Night; I could also do without Lily and Cupid de Locke, but that's it. (That would still leave a double album worth of great music.)
>>52694564
drukQs should have been one disc, it makes for an exhausting, ultimately boring listen in its entirety. I'd skip the second disc entirely if not for Meltphace 6.
>>52694558
>Double Album
>Triple Album
No cheating.
>>52694697
Yeah, bear in mind this is the same asshole who gave De-Loused a 4.9.

>>52694734
true
it might be cheating but OP never said
>no ambient
>>52694757
...is a fantastic song
>>52694750
Wouldn't it be more impressive if it is a triple album with no filler though?
>>52694621
I feel like the only one who really and truly loves stumbleine
>>52694751
I legitimately can't tell what you're implying
The White Album
>>52694838
I'm saying De-Loused is good.
>>52694621
Fuck off, this album is perfect.
And it's the best double album ever too.
>>52694610
I love Trout Mask Replica as much as the next guy, but I wouldn't go as far as to say there is not a single ounce of chaff in those 28 tracks. I'll probably never understand it fully or be able to appreciate all that went into it and all that Beefheart was trying to say.
>>52694757
But that's one of the best tracks on the album, you could've at least chosen one of the spoken word tracks as filler.
>>52694883
Oh, ok. I like Deloused too.
>>52694860
>Wild Honey Pie
>Piggies
>Honey Pie
>Revolution 9
>>52694889
>the best double album ever
>>52693573
What, this is questioned?
>not even in the thread yet
>>52694921
The only track that qualifies as slight filler is Hair Pie Bake 1 for me.
>>52693573
Believe it or not there are people who consider themselves NIN fans that actually think the opposite of this.
Pretty twisted.
>>52695021

you know the song, horse
>>52694558
motherfucking this. a triple album without a single throwaway moment. my favourite song on this album changes every time i listen to it
>>52694621
>the songs I don't like are filler
Tales Of A Scorched Earth makes disc 2
>>52694480
>The city of Brent DiFaggotenzo
ayyy
Everyone seems to be forgetting that Year Zero was the best NIN album.
hej
>>52693422
>>52694543
>>52694610
I think these are the only correct answers so far...
Every other album may be very good quality, but they all definitely have a track here and there that could be easily taken out without really hindering the alvum..
With a lot of these the whole is worth more than the sum of its parts, so I'm not saying that some of these are bad, Have One On Me for instance is fucking excellent, but the three I mentioned are the only ones that really need every single second of music in them.

Okay thanks friend

whatever
>>52693518
all Zappa is filler B)
>>52693753
not a "proper" double "album" "tho"
>>52693753
Not a proper double album, two separate albums released simultaneously
>>52693909
Even Billy thinks certain tracks should have been left off the final version
>>52696126
As much as I love Quadrophenia, I always skip Is It In My Head
>>52695074
yes, and there are people who consider themselves Prince fans that actually think the Sign o The Times is better than Purple Rain
and they're both correct
this is the correct answer
>>52693518
never see this discussed on here. heartily agree
>>52694804
nah b, i love that song too, one of my favourites on the album
>>52693502
i agree
>>52694804
Stumbleine is one of the best on the album

>>52694610
great album, but what does The Dust Blows Forward really contribute?
>>52693375
the classic there is filler in a double album see those things only work media like television and film to pad and space out certain moments in the plot. It makes 0 sense for an artist to intentionally put filler as it probably cost more money to produce those filler tracks. The perception of there being filler is solely from the listener who can't be arsed to sit 2 hours straight and sees some songs superior and inferior.
>>52697588
yes
>>52694564
>>52694734
Richard said that drukqs isn't meant to be listened to in one sitting. The intended way to listen to drukqs is to take out the songs you like and listen to them.
>>52696092
fuck, I love this shit
>>52695053
It's because most of neo-/mu/ has shit taste and thinks that this album is some sort of meme. Not like it matters since this album is an acquired taste. In fact those few anons months ago who tried to delegate this album to meme status came out to say that they wanted to be special snowflakes and keep the album to themselves.
Pic related is the best double album of all time. Prove me wrong.
>>52694558
>>52694750
>>52695210
It's 120 minutes.
Sure, it's on 3 CD's/LP's.
But it fits on 2.
It's a double album.
In Defense Of The Genre.
Getatme.
>>52698961
There have been numerous accounts artists recording a song because they didn't have enough material to fill an album hence the term "filler." A famous example is stairway to heaven. Contrary to everyone in this thread filler doesn't mean a song you don't like.
>>52699215
Hmm, fair enough but I just wouldn't see the point of putting it on a double album.
Since I understand that they want to get an LP of music and need some filler to meet that mark but for a double LP I would argue why even reach for that if you don't have enough solid material. I say this because if you're aiming for a double LP but need filler to meet that chances are you have a solid amount of material for an LP
>>52693502
Fuck that album was ruined by filler
>>52694380
The frail is goat
>>52697042
nah
>>52698946
It's one of my favorite tracks personally
>>52699390
this is a double album?
>>52699431
fuck, didn't read the title
>>52696126
yes
>>52695053
I love that band a lot but I'd argue that "Red Fire Coming Out From His Gills" is not a very good song.
>>52699630
1 song on there that you might think isn't that great
but ya got
>Odd Even
>Eat it up worms hero
>Wireless
fucking the vocal performances alone make the album
>>52696373
theres a lot of good albums itt, but this one the best example
>>52699630
I love that one.
The only bad track is Quiet As A Mouse, but it's just 90 seconds long, so it shouldn't really count.
>>52694528
love this
>>52697588
>>52697042
>>52699390
>>52694734
>>52694528
i can get behind these
also how did everyone forget about the best swans album?
>>52693553
Watch them throw on a track of 1 minute of silence before the album starts just to piss you off.
>>52694863
this isn't a double album
>>52693909
This album is pure bliss.
>>52695141
Jesus fucking christ I forgot that Corgan went insane.
>>52694738
Oh my God this fucking band makes the most beautiful emo music there is
If you haven't listened to Elliott (the band) you should
>>52695018
It is though
>>52698978
that should be the "intended way" for every album
tracks you don't like =/= filler
Someone please define what filler is
How has this not been posted ?
Did u know this was a double LP
>>52700451
material put into an album to try to fill up space rather than for artistic purposes.
>>52700432
but most albums aren't deliberately constructed for that
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
On the turntable now, not a bad track on this album.
Also I nominate Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding as the greatest opener of all time.
>>52695472
That's a single album. The bonus disc is just an anthology of singles and wasn't included in every version of the album.
About a third of it is filler anyways, LCDs weakest no doubt.
>>52701972
>David Comes to Life
>No filler
lol, good album though.
Physical Graffiti
>>52699830
Oh, Dirty Boy alone makes up for any problems with the album. It's just the electronic drums on Red Fire are so cheesy. The chorus is really cool though. Eh, I change my mind. 10/10.
>>52693518
I thought this was a triple album
>>52693948
yes
Depends on how we're counting "Apple Jams". Ignore it and it does pretty well
>>52694612
Agreed.
ITT: People don't know what a double album means.
>>52693375
>nobody has posted Zen Arcade
Ya'll a bunch of faggots.
>>52694690
Oh boy, my favourite track off of To Be Kind!
"Horse".
>>52703770
lol
it is their best album tho
Tindersticks' first two albums
>>52703875
zen arcade is composed of entirely filler.
>>52703770
This is mostly filler. Some good stuff on there though

I'm so sorry.
>>52704080
>someone else who thinks this
I love you holy shit I honest-to-god believe that album and band are utter shit and nobody ever takes me seriously when I say it, because you're just "supposed" to love them
their entire discography has like 10 good songs, if that
>>52703770
lol Revolution 9 is playing as I'm reading this. As much as I love the Beatles, this album is full of bullshit and mediocre songs mixed with a few brilliant ones.
>>52704162
not counting that dumb sounds of the studio interlude of course
Skeletonwitch - Forever Abomination
>>52704324
Whoops, misread the thread, sorry.
