>this reached #3 on the Billboard charts
Holy shit. I'm not a le wrong generation guy, but can you imagine something like that happening today? An album divided into 3 10+ minute songs with lengthy instrumental passages reaching that level of commercial success?

playboi carti is basically ween so
Isaiah Garcia
I haven't ever been able to get into playboi carti. Can you elaborate further?
David Stewart
it would be pretty tits to have an album released like that today. It would definently need to be a hiphop album, curious what the instrumentals of the songs would be like and how psychedelic it would be. Maybe it would work if the song just decended into jazz madness for like five minutes in-between the parts of the song with vocals.
Logan Thomas
Idk it is the best album ever made so it makes sense.
Christian Baker
Maybe Tame Impala could get away with it but that would entail a massive leap in skill on his part. It’s pretty much impossible now.
Cameron Hughes
It's one of the greatest albums of all time. When music is that magical, it doesn't matter how long it is. You can be a kid with the attention span of a goldfish and still be blown away by Yes. They're YES.
Matthew Sullivan
I would be thrilled if kevin did this. Although i dont he will as it would go against the recent trend hes been pushing his music in. Also, i think its a lot easier for artists to make money off of streaming multiple shorter songs than it is for them off of streaming fewer longer songs. Its a shame what streaming is doing to the music industry. (I say as i download discographies off rbt asia)
Evan Parker
they gain nothing from streaming so they dont care
Adrian Richardson
Swans reached the Top 40 this decade, so fuck off, OP.
Evan Rogers
I highly doubt that.
Connor Powell
Tool reached no 1 for a brief time. And fear inoculum is shit. That should be proof that people still like this kind of music, but no one is making it.
Brody King
Hudson Edwards
Wrong.
Justin King
>US Billboard 200
>Peak Position
>37
you are fucking retarded
Connor Sanders
Idk man when i was first getting into progressive Rock this sounded like a barely musical mess to my virgin ears.
It took me some time to appreciate it.
I know that this is far from peak chaos rock, but it is still enough to scare normies left and right an make them go "there is no melody".
Samuel Turner
wtf michael gira is a better pop artist than charli xcx????
Dylan Moore
This makes me remember that To Be Kind charted 60 positions higher than How I’m feeling now
Josiah Harris
Oh fuck didn’t see this lol but basically, yes
Adam Taylor
We stan a REAL popstar
Lucas Bailey
Francis The Mute hit #4
Owen Taylor
>2014
>"this decade"
retard
Leo Kelly
"this decade" goes from 2011 to 2020
decades start with a 1 on their last digit because there is no such thing as the "year 0"
Carson Mitchell
As expected for a retard to post.
Dominic Adams
second best* red is actually the best album ever
Nolan Kelly
Tyler Taylor
who the fuck cares about albums retard? Roundabout reached #13 as a fucking single imagine that today
also fragile is way better
Elijah Allen
I think an album like CttE could chart today. There's definitely still a pretty large audience for virtuosic, ambitious, even self-indulgent/pretentious music -it's just not being made, as the trend right now is overproduced, easily streamable music.
Luke Hughes
Words cannot describe how much I despise people who unironically argue about fucking decades. Just shut the fuck up
Julian Butler
i'm not the one who started arguing you fucking moron
Jacob Reed
Just because you didn't start it doesn't mean you're not a pedantic twit for arguing about whether the 2020's start on 2020 or 2021. Nobody fucking cares, you get what he meant by "this decade."
Ian Bailey
>you get what he meant by "this decade."
and nobody asked him
and also, he was wrong
John Howard
This reached #9 on the Billboard charts last year. Their previous album made it to #8. The more well-known prog bands of today are doing fairly decently.
Benjamin Roberts
Red is KCs worst album and overrated reddit garbage
Lincoln Garcia
Newfag here, what's a "ween"?
It'll come back at some point, I know it. No genre of music is completely immune to the boom and bust cycle of popularity, not even rap or EDM, which will eventually go by the wayside and be picked up again. Progressive rock will come back in the same way.
Brandon Roberts

fuck off and leave
