It's easy to find an album you like, but have you ever found an album that blew you away due to its sheer beauty and ingenuity? Any albums you trully think are masterpieces and near enough flawless?
Note: This isn't a favourite album thread, this is a thread where you share absolute masterpieces. Don't mix the two.
It's difficult to find totally flawless albums, such a thing cannot exist. But to me, there are a few albums that are perfect for my ears and continue to blow me away with their sheer beauty everytime.
So question: What are your masterpieces? What is a
Masterpiece to you?
A
Masterpiece to me is an album that can continue to completely leave you in awe with each listen, a consistant and complete album with no real outstanding flaws. Near perfection.
The albums I think fit this description are:
Estatic Fear - A Sombre Dance
The reason I chose this is because simply enough, it's a masterpiece. Nothing is thrown in, everything in this album works, it's a totally amazing and complete
Fusion of classical, folk, and
Doom Metal which is totally unique to this band alone. This cannot be recreated by anyone.
Empyrium - Songs of Moors and Misty Fields
See above, really. It is a sound that cannot be covered or recreated by anyone else but
Empyrium, and the sound is simply perfectly executed.
Moonsorrow - Verisakeet
They're my favourite band for a reason. The perfection, diversity, and total ingenuity of this album is matched by no other band. 5 amazing songs, each of them unique and different in their own way, but you can still evidently hear it is Moonsorrow. Awe inspiring.
Share with me your masterpieces! Albums you believe to be totally faultless. Favourite albums are different because even if it is your favourite, it's likely to have faults which you've forgiven. I'm looking for albums you believe to have no outstanding faults.
I have been a Sword in the Hand,
I have been a shield in a
