Sulpher - No One Will Ever Know
Fantomas - Directors Cut
...And Oceans - Cypher
Carcass - Swansong

These are not all good, in fact most are NOT good, but they all fit the bill
|
robertsona
10.07.20 | gotta include Spirit of Eden |
Colton
10.07.20 | I have this dumb fantasy in my head of some shitty pop musician like Nick Jonas or something releasing something like You Won't Get What You Want by Daughters and everyone is just like "wtf" |
Avagantamos
10.07.20 | I feel like GREATEST left turns in musical history implies that the albums should be good |
Donchivo
10.07.20 | Scott Walkers career after his pop boy band start with the Walker brothers. |
ArsMoriendi
10.07.20 | Ween did a Country album once and it's good |
Deathconscious
10.07.20 | Gorguts - The Erosion of Sanity to Obscura. |
Masochist
10.07.20 | Ulver going from Black Metal to Trip Hop to Ambient to poppy Synthwave. All of that.
But really, probably 'Perdition City'. |
0xME
10.07.20 | I can see the argument for Gorguts
also Ulver, they pretty much reinvent themselves every other album |
budgie
10.07.20 | celtic frost stopping their shitty early style and dropping cold lake, a masterpiece of the 80s |
0xME
10.07.20 | dang, sniped |
Ryus
10.07.20 | spirit of eden [2] |
JesperL
10.07.20 | hundredth's rare for me personally, hardcore to shoegaze |
Deathconscious
10.07.20 | What about Neurosis' The Word As Law to Souls At Zero? |
Rolling Girl
10.07.20 | Anathema maybe?
Or Dorian Electra collaborating with Rebecca Black |
SitarHero
10.07.20 | Genesis |
Kompys2000
10.07.20 | Yeah Genesis and Yes would probably both fit the bill
I'd also suggest Pantera, Cowboys From Hell was a pretty major departure from what they'd been doing up to that point. |
Sinternet
10.07.20 | colour of spring came before spirit of eden and heavily hinted at what they were going for, don't get why it's brought up a lot in regards to this |
bludngorevidal
10.07.20 | They've been mentioned already, but Ulver have got to be the kings of this move |
robertsona
10.07.20 | ^^^ huge yes |
0xME
10.07.20 | yuge |
Calc
10.07.20 | Machine Gun Kelly!!!
idk.... |
lz41
10.07.20 | U2 with Achtung Baby
Bob Dylan with Bringing It All Back Home
|
Jasdevi087
10.07.20 | Slowdive - Pygmalion |
Ecnalzen
10.08.20 | Cave In went from spastic 90s metalcore (Until Your Heart Stops) to progressive space rock (Jupiter). I legitimately thought I had the wrong band the first time I heard their debut since I had heard Jupiter first |
TheAntichrist
10.08.20 | megadeth - risk |
Cygnatti
10.08.20 | Spirit of Eden [3] |
Morningrise767
10.08.20 | Opeth - Heritage |
porcupinetheater
10.08.20 | “or Dorian Electra collaborating with Rebecca Black”
If you didn’t see that you weren’t paying attention
Also it’s less overtly dramatic a change, but Ben Howard coming out with Noonday Dream after doing Every Kingdom less than a decade earlier feels huge |
Wildcardbitchesss
10.08.20 | Cloud Rat randomly dropping an ambient post punkish EP was pretty cool. |
porcupinetheater
10.08.20 | Kiss the Anus of a Black Cat going post punk out of freaky droney psych folk was a trip, too |
EoinCofa
10.08.20 | Bjork (whole catalogue)
Beck - Sea Change
|
McP3000
10.08.20 | I agree with the earlier posters who said Ulver post- Nattens Madrigal
I would agree with the Opeth nods if everything they made after Ghost Perdition wasn't dogshit |
Kompys2000
10.08.20 | I guess you could also say Brian Eno, there were some hints of ambient composition in his early stuff but Music For Airports was still a watershed moment |
iambandersnatch
10.08.20 | Not sure if it counts because he makes lots of turns but Casualties of Cool is pretty badass
Heritage is good enough to at least be mentioned, it's not their best but it's still good
|
Donchivo
10.08.20 | I would agree with the Opeth nods if everything they made after Ghost Perdition wasn't dogshit [2]
well maybe not completely dog shit, but bland and boring... |
ChoccyPhilly
10.08.20 | Teethed Glory and Injury
An ok, repetitive established black metal band throw it all away and put out the best metal album of the decade that is nothing like what 5they've done in the past.... and then break up shortly after |
Zig
10.08.20 | The most notorious one that comes to mind is Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music. |
ReturnToRock
10.08.20 | MC5 - Kick Out The Jams to Back in the USA
Scorpions - Eye 2 Eye
Alice Cooper - Constrictor
