Plus I boosted the treble slightly across the whole album to give it a bit more bite. I also shaved off a few microseconds from that first abrupt note of Soul Sacrifice on the same album, it makes it sound less messy. CtC now starts when the first proper riff comes in at around 50s.
On Cathedral's "Forest of Equilibrium" (one of my favourite albums), I separated the intro (Picture of Beauty and Innocence) from the following track it morphs into (Commiserating the Celebration). I find myself doing this quite a lot, if something annoys me enough, or I think it would work better. For me personally, having the songs go without the interludes works great, and I can listen to the interludes if I just want to hear the story. Starting with Victim of Changes and ending with Island of Domination has never made any sense to me.įor me, personally, I swapped the tracks into two albums: One with the interludes and spoken word tracks, and another one with the actual songs. The album flows much better this way and it's a masterpiece. The album is clearly meant to start with Prelude and end with Deceiver, in other words what is normally labelled Side A should be Side B and vice versa. The only one I do religiously is Judas Priest's Sad Wings of Destiny. If you trim Rust In Peace down to the first two and last two songs (Dawn Patrol is an interlude, not really a song) you have the high point of Megadeth's career. If you take the best tracks off Load and ReLoad and put them on one CD you have the second best Metallica album after Ride the Lightning. It flows a lot better from what I remember. I also once made an iTunes playlist of Queensryche's The Warning in the track order as the band originally intended where N M 156 is the opener and the title track is second to last. Nostradamus might've been the one that worked best with the approach.

There’s a bunch of albums where I habitually skip the opening intro track, but that’s simple enough to do without removing it.īack when I was writing for Indy Metal Vault, I used to have a review series where I chiseled double albums down to a single album format. I cut the interludes out of Nightfall in Middle Earth. I'll have to do that again some time lol! One time I made a completely different album cover for Rotting Christ - Thy Mighty Contract since I felt like it wasn't very interesting for me, but that was a long time ago. Sometimes out of boredom and/or some instinctive creative tendency/drive of mine, I have occasionally edited some album artwork like Ride the Lightning and Hvis Lyset Tar Oss where I changed the color schemes a little bit for fun. I cut out all the segments with the ridiculous clean vocals from a bunch of As I Lay Dying albums at some point. The only part that doesn't work as it is, is the last one, which should be in order Attitude - Prince Charming - Low Man's Lyric - Fixxxer. For example, and I should warn, this will be considered heretical: if you switch The Thing That Should Not Be and Leper Messiah around, the album flows better.Īlso, whereas Load clearly has two parts, Reload to my ears has three parts (1-4, 5-9, 10-13). Re: Any metal album you have edited yourself?
