In recent years it seems double albums have been somewhat coming into fashion - both Iron Maiden and Metallica have recently released one, and Mastodon were initially planning the same for their upcoming album. However, Swallow The Sun in 2015 went one further by releasing a triple album, as did Schammasch in 2016 with Triangle. Including three discs within one self-contained package allows bands to offer up both more music, and potentially explore different genres by separating stylistically different material onto different discs. However, when releasing all this music as a single collective piece under one title, one can argue that there is both a need to link the music together, whether tonally, thematically, or otherwise, and also to optimize the quality and the pacing of the album, such that it can be enjoyed and consumed as a single whole. For this review I will cover each disc individually (all with very similar runtimes), and then the combined experience. Read more ›› |

Want this ASAP. I do not have problem with long albums at all, and they did pull out a long album previously masterfully.

Written by [user id=4365] on 23.02.2016 at 22:08 Ah, sweet! I actually decided, right after posting my comment, that the smart thing to do would be to Google "Schammasch Triangle". Maybe next time I should try thinking about doing that before asking dumb questions...

Gonna be great. Contradiction was so captivating I didn't see those 80+ minutes pass, so I'm expecting something similar. The picts about the recording sessions are also kind of intriguing with the different display of instruments. Bring it on!

If this is a triple album then I can see myself getting tired of it no matter how good the music is. They want to pull a Swallow The Sun.

Well, it's not like you have to listen to all the three in a row or anything...

Are they just going to keep adding disc-length as they progress in albums? Like...4th album has 4cds, 5th has 5 etc... Also I was hoping this band would break up so I wouldn't have to sit bitterly in the corner mystified by others' enjoyment of the band.

^ Oh, so you also quite didn't get the fuss? i thought it was only me and Maco... In fact I may never liked their previous works but somehow I'm still looking forward for this. This band is still intriguing. It's like they are on the right way, but aren't quite getting it right, so I keep expecting them to nail it at some point

Welcome to the club Alex. I still think this band can be truly excellent if the vocals were out. Hell, I may enjoy Contradiction more if it was only an instrumental album.

The only way I can see this working is if there's a fundamentally different style employed on each disc, as Joe said. Like.... one being black metal, another being death metal, and the final one being some nonmetal dark ambient kind of shit, or something. I'm not gonna hold my breath for that, but overall I think (I hope) this'll be 7 material at the very least

Chill down guys. This isn't like a case with last year's StS album as It is just gonna be a 100 minutes album and I frankly don't know how it is gonna be a triple disc album but these guys sure as hell can make it work at that length.

Written by 3rdWorld on 28.02.2016 at 03:55 Oh no, don't get me wrong, I definitely think these guys are more capable of succeeding at this than StS  80 minute + albums usually bore me though if they can't strongly justify their length. I mean stuff like Blood Geometry and Foulest Semen Of A Shelter Elite, those are excellent of course, but those are rare examples of such a technique actually succeeding. Usually it's no easy task to take on. I'm not pessimistic, just a bit skeptical

I'll be more surprised if they don't pull it off, to be honest.

Written by Zap on 12.03.2016 at 14:19 My point is that 100 minutes is not really long, for a talented band at least.

Written by mz on 12.03.2016 at 14:41 100 minutes is long for any band, but some bands can pull it off. I don't see Schammasch doing so since they barely got away with 80 minutes on the previous album.
