Does a more frontloaded album exist?
Soundtracks for the Blind blows its load in the first 3 minutes and never quite reaches that same level, but I don't know if it's really 'frontloaded' its still good front to back.
Heroes
>>60971095
First 3 tracks*
ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space basically ends after the first song
>>60971074
literally every rap mixtape
4 best songs in a row then just 12 throwaways from whatever album they're working on
>>60971074
>implying that Houses in Motion isn't fantastic
>implying that Seen and Not Seen isn't one of their best songs
>implying that Listening Wind, while it is the worst song on the album, isn't great
>implying that The Overload is shit because /mu/ told you to think that
>implying that you're not a massive pleb
>>60971074
not even trying to be contrarian here, but I genuinely think side 2 is better
tbqh
>"hurr i need cheery dancing music or i'll be reminded of how pathetic my life is"
>"s-side 2 sucks g-guys"
>>60971206
The epitome of filler
The Joshua Tree comes to mind
>>60971115
The Sound though
>>60971368
idk. I like the version from Swans are Dead much better.
>>60971074
this exists
>>60971074
strawberry jam
>>60971416
Nigga what. Leave Me Alone is the best song on the album. Age of Consent can't hold a candle to it.
>>60971122
>liking that cringefest I WANT A LITTLE BIT OF LE LOVE TO TAKE LE PAIN AWAY XDDD
>not liking I Think I'm In Love, the actual only good song in the album
>>60971464
if there's only one good song on the album it's Cop Shoot Cop
>>60971122
literally the worst song on the album
>>60971464
>LE GIANT STEP EACH LE DAY AHHAHA XD
>>60971450
>implying the triple threat of Kekoo Kekoo, Winter Wonder Land, and Derek isn't #1
>>60971460
this anon knows what's up

Does a more backloaded album exist?
>>60971680
Abbey Road
>>60971680
Joy Division-Closer
Considering I like Listening Wind and Houses in Motion more than Crosseyed and Painless and Once In A Lifetime, I'd disagree.
Now pic related is frontloaded as fuck. The first 3 songs could've been my favorite EP of all time but nope, we hit Black Heart Romance and the album, while still decent, never properly recovers from there on out.
>>60971724
Swap Passover and Heart and Soul on the tracklist and you fucking nailed it.
>>60971074
Dopesmoker
>>60971938
Blast Doors and No Reptiles though
>>60971074
Hot Fuzz
Facelift
>>60971992
We Hate You and Dopethrone are great though
Depending on your tastes it's either frontloaded or backloaded since it feels like 2 separate 5-track EPs strapped together.
>>60971101
nah . the ambient tracks are quite delicious, although Low does it better
Fuck the middle of this album
>>60971416
You're uneducated
>>60971724
the last four songs are an experience. I've never heard and album that is truer depression. Not just sadness, but greyness
Side b is shite
Nobody likes to admit it though
>>60972203
Shellac records are even worse when it comes to being frontloaded
>>60971680
>>60972241
You know, I'll actually agree with this. Once you get past Optimistic, the album takes a slight but noticable dip in quality, and the first 2 songs are straight up the best on the album.
>>60972285
In Limbo 2nd best song senpai
>>60972241
I would agree if Motion Picture Soundtrack wasn't on the album
>>60972298
That's an unconventional opinion, but one I'll respect nonetheless. I don't think it's a highlight but it is unfairly shat on.
>>60972242
The first track in Terraform is worst.
Best one is the last as well.
>>60971579
>implying Kekoo Kekoo and WWL are actually good songs
>>60971368
>The Joshua Tree
Holy shit bingo
That album is so fucking top heavy
>>60971074
This. It's a great 3 songs, though, and Danger Zone kicks ass.
>>60971115
I don't agree with this.
>>60971680
This is essential frontload-core
>>60973084
>alvin row
FUCKING WHAT JUST KILL UR SELF
>>60973084
>Alvin Row
>ear-splitting, pain-inducing frequencies in the very first fucking song
ok
>>60973143
Except it's a masterpiece the whole way through
>>60973157
Alvin Row is fucking overrated. It's great, but April and the Phantom is the best song, and like the next six songs are all fantastic
>>60973253
Came here to post this.
>>60973253
yup
>>60973253
yep first two songs are the best
>>60973253
nah Vertigo is great and the interludes aren't half bad
>>60972300
I feel like that song is just a bit overrated
>>60973896
>Vertigo is great
UNO
>>60973253
Noooooooooooo no no no no no no no no
still good
>>60973922
what does that mean
fronted indeed
>>60973253
but Vertigo is the best track
the psychedelic extravaganza attempt in the second half is pretty embarrassing tbqh, they should just stick to chorus driven music
>>60972241
>Not liking Idioteque
>>60971074
I dont agree that remain in light is font loaded at all
first few songs are god tier rest are just good
>>60973253
objectively incorrect opinion
>>60971074
>seen and not seen
>houses in motion
>not GOAT
aight das cool have a bad opinion
>>60971095
>>60971115
Not true by the way!
>>60971095
>>60971115
The Sound isn't in the first three tracks my brugh
Yeah
Lee tracks suck
>>60971074
not remain in light. a frontloaded album has to have filler.
>>60971138
this
>>60971095
i disagree but i can see that.
>>60971101
no
>>60971206
no
>>60971416
literally just the first song
>>60972170
spaced cowboy made me want to kill myself
>>60972241
no
>>60972276
yes (except wake up, for some reason)
>>60973143
first three songs again
>>60973084
are you fucking stupid?
>>60973253
one song again
ITT: everyone is as wrong as possible
can someone find me an mp3 torrent of this album please mates im dumb
>>60973143
garbo alboom
>>60971206
No
>>60973253
>implying The Pecan Tree isn't the best
>>60975970
Yes
>>60976277
No
>>60971514
Good taste.
>>60971122
this is 100% correct
I know /mu/ hates this but it's literally the most frontloaded album i've ever heard
>>60978223
Came in to post this.
>>60978223
wut does frontal loaded mean serius
>>60971680
>>60973253
Heeeeeeeeeell no, actually pretty well-paced. Paced Tree is the best song
>>60978223
This is a contender
>>60978303
All the good tracks are in the first half of the album
>>60971206
Half the tracks are shit but its not frontloaded
>>60972241
How are the transition from Optimistic to In Limbo and the transition from Idioteque to Morning Bell not the best parts of the album?
>>60973084
Hahaha fuck no
>>60973248
The middle 7 songs being good on a 12 track album isn't front loaded. And Alvin Row is appropriately rated
>>60972124
>>60978223
>>60978279
We have a winner
>>60973943
I see where you're coming from, 1-3 is GOAT. The Old Black Hen and John Henry though. Both amazing.
>>60971460
Yup
>>60978223
Not if you have the superior 2005 limited edition. Besides
>On Top
>Believe Me Natalie
>Everything Will Be Alright
>>60977432
No way. The last two tracks are highlight of the album
>>60979850
feck off
>>60972203
ehh the only song i actually dislike on side b is kitty empire, mainly for its length
the rest is alright imo
>>60973143
i agree. i love the first 3-4 songs, after that it just gets bland as fuck
>>60979454
fucking thissssss
>>60977458
>Lee tracks suck
Honestly agree
literally no one cares about the other side
>>60971173
;_; after LoveStoned it's just not half as good
>>60972148
That's not the same album dude...
There's dopethrone and there's dopesmoker. He was making a joke because dopesmoker has two tracks, the first one being an hour long.
