Double albums usually blow cause making 24+ songs all good is really fucking hard

That makes cases of excellence—that is, double albums someone deems excellent—even more outstanding, since it's an extended exercise in quality control. Double albums also have various other creative advantages, though, e.g. potential for more emotional impact, space for extended narratives that create continuity between tracks, etc. They can feel less like vignettes and more like contemplative experiences, even if there isn't some overarching concept.

I'm not allowed to post pictures for some reason but Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is wall to wall bangers.
London Calling has some rocky moments but pulls it all together at the end

Lincoln Wilson
you sound like a pretentious cunt. fuck off back to RYM you egotistical prick.
Jordan Peterson
extremely shit album
Adrian Ward
This is the definitive version. But the 1973 film soundtrack is worth a listen too, because the two original songs are really good and Judas absolutely fucking kills it.
Nolan Howard
Grayson Martin
Jackson Thompson
Leo Sanchez
anything under 80 minutes isn't a double album since it can fit on one disc
Jordan Mitchell
Chase Howard
good choices
Cooper Rogers
nice
Asher Allen
This album has grown on me so fucking much throughout the years. It's my favourite rock double album of all time now.
Caleb Lewis
based scaruffi drones
Landon Gomez
Aside from Sing to God each of those albums has universal acclaim, even that is generally well repsected these days.
Nolan Powell
Big agree

Liam Thomas
actually their worst album, black hole black canvas is better
Henry Price
The Who was the best of their contemporaries. There, I said it.
Liam Mitchell
Great pick.
Jose Anderson
Greatest double album of all time
Jacob Flores
Hardly counts as a double album, considering the 20 minute headache it ends with
Cameron Young
Henry Sullivan

But Dylan's best double album is pic related.

This might be the definitive double album of this century for rock music so far

>if an album has a twenty minute song it’s not an album
Samuel Adams
Brody Hall
But thats a triple album wtf?
Adam Reed
2 discs.
1st disc 79 minutes
2nd disc 77 minutes
Unless you're talking about the vinyl version?
Landon Long
nah, any album longer than 55 minutes is a double album desu
Ryder Walker
>Unless you're talking about the vinyl version?
Yes, i guess everyone is talking about the vinyl versons
David Peterson
a shame that it hasn't been posted yet.
Blake Cox
If its buffed out with a 20 minute song of all the other songs mixed together then yes, it's not a good example of a DOUBLE album. Great album otherwise, but that 2nd to last song is a mess
Gavin Richardson
>he completely missed the raga riff and thinks it’s nothing more than a mix of all the other songs on the album
Caleb Foster

Grayson Flores
The Who and the Kinks are severely underrated since in terms of musical innovation they were the only other British Invasion groups to rival the Beatles.
The Stones just followed the Beatles wherever they went and it was well known. They were just outstandingly competent musicians and pretty good songwriters so it didn't really matter that much to anyone at the time.
Aiden Rogers
Herod's Song sounds so limp though, like someone accidentally turned the instrumentation down all the way while turning Herod's weak voice up all the way. Prefer this version
Joseph Gutierrez
Woops disregard that, the 1973 version is pretty good. Was referring to the film version of Herod's song when I was thinking of the weak voiced one
Jordan Reyes
*1970
Austin Sanchez
The thing about double albums is that it doesn’t have to always be so that every track is great or worth standing on its own, it’s like in a comedy movie or tv show the main person needs a straight man, or just some kind of buffer. A flimsy track can still serve to add space to the album’s vacuum so long as it isn’t drastically awful or removing something from the album altogether. Probably a favorite example of something along this kind of thing is the Jarvoe track Volcano from Soundtracks for the Blind. In the flow of the album it’s just so startling and unexpected and deranged, and in the album’s unexpectedness and derangement works to the album’s benefit.
Juan Carter
This album has that annoying ass "EVERYBODY MUST GET STONED" song so nah nigga, bad try.
Hunter Gonzalez
The Wall did this pretty well I think. Not every track was going to be something that people were looking forward to hearing on a second listen, but they all had their place in the story and they were all competently done.
Noah Carter
Misplaced sense of cringe on your part, how cringey
Kevin Moore
thats my favorite dylan song

>Dylan's enigmatic magnum opus.
I like Bob Dylan but if you find any of his work "enigmatic" then you're actually too dumb for first position four chord progressions, the most basic possible compositions.
Easton Stewart
just skip it, there's 13 other masterpieces to get into on blonde on blonde
Levi Clark
>souless pleb
Landon Lewis
not even OP but enigmatic seems like a fitting description for blonde on blonde lyrically. also i think you severely overestimate people's ability to get into roots rock, especially the further we drift from folk, blues, and country in modern music.
Hunter Baker
Michael Ramirez
i heard this right when it came out and thought it was hot trash. maybe i'll give it another listen
