Most Inaccessible Album of All-Time?
carrotosaurus:
In The Aeroplane Over The Sea might be the MOST accessible album of all time.
The Roman:
Delirium Cordia - Fantomas
One 75-minute long track consisting not much more than samples from surgeries and the odd 2-second long grindcore riff, separated by 15 minute long passages of noise and blip-blops.
I took it back to the store the day after I bought it. This was obviously during my "everything Mike Patton does is genius" phase.
I kinda wish I'd kept it now, just so I could own such a crazy album.
Plus, it'd make good homework music.

I'm surprised that Merzbow isn't listen in every post. 'In the Aeroplane over the Sea'? Come on. A decent album, but not remotely inaccessible.
Obviously Merzbow is way up there, I also found Wormphlegm's "In an Excruciating Way..." To be really, really hard to take. Really slow, really evil funeral doom. Khanate's Things Viral still confounds me to this day, and Neurosis's 'Enemy of The Sun' was way to heavy for me when I first got it and it's still a huge slab of (awesome) noise.
I haven't heard much 12 tone stuff but it sounds pretty hard to get (perhaps there is nothing to get?) so I'll put it up there.
Basically, a 3 way tie between Wormphlegm's debut EP, Schoenberg's 12-tone stuff and Merzbow's crazier albums. I imagine there are some albums out there that are nothing but really trebly blasts of arrhythmical white noise for hours on end, though.

Once I recorded an album constructed entirely from the sounds of cats being crushed slowly in a trash compactor reversed, bumped up an octave and fed through a flanger. I guess it's pretty inaccessible?
Can you really throw a question like this out here so openly? Surely it's just going to devolve into which obscure, misanthropic black metal band beats out which? In fact, we could probably save ourselves a whole lot of trouble and just PM Khar directly.

I'm listening to a band from my province named Wold which are remarkably inaccessible. It's black metal that consists solely of guitars, keys, drums and shrieking, with pretty much every instrument pushed so far into the red that half of the reviews I've seen categorize it under "noise." Seriously, it's tonal white noise. What's bizarre is that occasionally it's reminiscent of an overdriven Ride or a corpsepaint-wearing My Bloody Valentine.
