| Best Album & Song Of All Time?
Thought i'd pay credence to my favourite song of all time and my favourite ralbum of all time. rBoth unconventional choices, especially in the last of rsputnik, i know. So what are your choices? rI doubt any of you will agree rwith me but it will still be interesting to see what you guys think. | | 2 |  | Olafur Arnalds
Eulogy For Evolution
Song - 3055: Interesting choice for some, I know. It surprisingly isn't a PT song but
something that is simpler, yet still has such a huge impact on me. Long story short, it's a
minimal/neoclassical song. Whether this isn't for you (NO RIFFZ, NO SONG) or you just don't
think it's that great then that's cool. Starting off with a lonesome piano and violin, it paints a
picture of misery and sadness of a hopeless nature where everything that could possibly have
gone wrong truly has gone wrong. It may be a slow affair but the atmosphere really is the
importance of this track, where a wind sample really adds to the effect of isolation. However,
this isn't what makes the song so great. What makes the song so good is the climax and wow,
does it sure as hell do that well. Everything starts to happen faster and bit by bit, there's more
optimism to be heard in this bleak situation until the track comes to life with drums, layered
strings and pirouetting above piano arpeggios that have now too come to life. Regardless of
how bleak it was, it makes me want to believe in anything and everything all at once all in just
over 5 minutes. This truly is the definition of the effect music has on someone. However, no
matter how many words I write, it will never do this track any good and I encourage you all to
listen for yourselves. I guarantee that you won't be disappointed:

MCMXC a.D.
Oh what's that? Not converge? or Opeth? or anything prog? What even is this thing you place in front of
me as the best album of all time!? No, it's something different altogether: a new age album that boasts
highs that are unparalleled with anything i've ever heard before. Is it something for everyone?
Certainly not but that's not what it tries to be. Like Jane Doe, you need to be in the right mood to listen
to this as it's a slow, repetitive listen that doesn't reveal its secrets all at once, or whenever you expect
them to really. Expect a relaxing, hypnotising album that MUST be listened to as whole for the full
effect, crossing themes of love, lust, religion, and the end. Like 3055, putting this into words is a huge
struggle, especially because I don't listen to anything like this either. However, at a time when you're in
perfect equilibrium with yourself and everything around you, give this a spin, for it is a sonic journey

and Dragon, Adored | Sabrutin
08.29.14 | Can't decide on a single favorite song, but my favorite album might be Queensryche's Rage for Order or Death Angel's The Ultra-Violence. | LamboGD
08.29.14 | These lists are completely pointless because we all know Jane Doe is objectively the best song of all time. | ChoccyPhilly
08.29.14 | Sorry, couldnt hear you over the subjectiveness of music.
The whole point of this list is to see variety, not a wankfest of Jane Doe. There are enough lists like that already here | jefflebowski
08.29.14 | just been checking that enigma album and early signs are highly promising
any other new age recs that aren't terrible? i mean i know the genre doesn't have the best reputation so i'm tentative | scottpilgrim10
08.29.14 | My favorite album is Pinkerton

08.29.14 | I'd be lying if i said I knew that one
Damn ars, I was expecting frank Zappa for sure | Archelirion
08.29.14 | Ridiculously tough questions! Album would either be 'The Ichthyologist' by Giant Squid or Cult of Luna's 'Somewhere Along The Highway'.
Favourite song? Nah forget it, right now it could be any one of about 20 songs. | laughingman22
08.29.14 | Agreed, Enigma > Converge, Opeth and other bands | ChoccyPhilly
08.30.14 | @aaron yeah I've thought about it recently and wanted to see what everyone else's choices were
@laughing I'd say that this album is better than anything that those bands have done, clearly but collectively, Enigma isn't all that consistent | ArsMoriendi
08.30.14 | @Choccy: Zappa has so many of my favorites, but Mr. Bungle is just perfection. | YakNips
08.30.14 | actually my fave album is Mr. Bungle - The Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny and best song is Anarchy Up Your Anus | Onirium
08.30.14 | 1 is indeed really awesome, I'll need to check out 2, I'm not a big new age fan but from your
descriptions it also sounds a bit like minimalist music which is always interesting.
My favorite song at the moment would be Deform to Form a Star by Steven Wilson, but it changes quite
often. And my favorite album would be either Si On Avait Besoin d'une Cinquième Saison by Harmonium or
Adventures in Your Own Backyard by Patrick Watson, but there's so much stuff out there | JokineAugustus
08.30.14 | Zao - Liberate Te Ex Inferis - If These Scars Could Speak | YoYoMancuso
08.30.14 | Album: Siamese Dream
Song: Mayonaise
shocking i know |
