Song Puzzles: One Song In Several Parts On Different Albums

Some stories, themes or concepts are presented not just in one single song but are split in separate tracks that (often) share the same title but are distinguished by a number of the corresponding part of the song series.

However, sometimes these parts are not found together on one album, but are included on different releases of the artist.
They can be found on two (or more) conceptually linked albums (where they function as part of an ensemble together with the other songs), or they can be included on independent releases (where only they alone continue their story).

Therefore, the main purpose of this list is to give an overview that enables the reader to find the missing song pieces - or even to inform that these pieces exist at all.

Please feel free to find and suggest more examples of these "song jigsaw puzzles": one song(concept) in separate parts on different albums.



1.After Forever - Prison Of Desire
2.Agathodaimon - Higher Art Of Rebellion
3.Agathodaimon - Phoenix
4.Alestorm - Sunset On The Golden Age
5.Alestorm - Curse Of The Crystal Coconut

My Symphonic/Atmospheric Metal Albums List

Here's my list of symphonic metal albums from the bands that I know of, this list is defined by the terms of "atmospheric/bombastic sounding". This is my first time of making list on this site, so some of this might not make any sense as I'm still a bit confused myself as well, and I don't really prefer to see these in particular orders.

1.Nightwish - Dark Passion Play
2.Within Temptation - The Silent Force
3.Epica - The Divine Conspiracy
4.Xandria - Neverworld's End
5.Nightwish - Once

M0rkeleb's Overall Favorites

Simple ranking of all my favorite albums. Favorite song from the album in the notes. Sure to change/expand as I learn and explore more within metal.
2023: This was starting to get too long so I split it into separate lists for albums at each ranking 10 to 7. This list will no longer be updated.

Favorite Albums By My Favorite Bands

I picked one album by each of my favorite bands for this list. Keep in mind that after the first few albums I put on the list, it became increasingly difficult to figure out where to place artists in my list. Also, this is kind of how my favorite bands lie now, as far as how often I listen to them - whereas some of these bands used to be much more frequently played, years ago. But this is, more or less, a list of my favorite albums by my favorite bands.

1.Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory
2.Seventh Wonder - The Great Escape
3.Symphony X - The Odyssey
4.Circus Maximus - Nine
5.Haken - Visions

Top 10 Most Underrated Albums

Ever loved an album which everybody seems to hate? Ever discovered that sometimes the overall score isn't what it "should've been"? This is a typical occurrence in general every metal bands. A good band will always eventually end in the "lesser corner" where we constantly compare to the "better corner". These are the most underrated "shit" ever in my opinion. In no particular order.

1.Evergrey - Monday Morning Apocalypse
2.In Flames - A Sense Of Purpose
3.Sonata Arctica - The Days Of Grays
4.Metallica - Load
5.Kamelot - Poetry For The Poisoned
