I am asking for your best mindfuck songs and/or albums. (Music that shakes ones previously held beliefs or assumptions about the nature of reality)
Edit 2:
Examples include:
Father John Misty - Pure Comedy
Pink Floyd
Wookiefoot!
Honestly more of Hans Zimmer is fantastic. The Dune soundtrack was phenomenal, as well as Interstellar. M83 is also excellent. Get the best headphones you have, plug in with the lights off, and listen to Outro. Thomas Bergerson has some good albums as well with TSFH. I bet you might really enjoy some of Bach's cello concertos too.
Happy cake day! Already done that many a time. Don't want to do that anymore bc leads to bad things for me. Thanks though.
Yes that is where I got the idea from tho. Lol
This is good, thanks.
I personally find it hard to get this experience sober through instrumental music. Thanks for your input though.
I've listened to BtTIGtP before as a result of the same question by another person. I have my understanding of why I consider it this way but the album is very complex and has layers beyond mindfuck etc. solely. Why do you consider it such?
Maybe I can get into this all. lol idk thanks for the recs
Albums- Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals, and Holy Wood by Marilyn Manson
Album- The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Albums- Aladdin Sane and Outside by David Bowie
Song- The End by The Doors
I'm not sure an album has ever "mindfucked" me, but I could see this album doing it to someone. Interesting methodolgy behind it, obviously a strange nd somewhat off-putting sound palette, lyrics that dance around issues nd themes with a lot of irony and dry humor... Not sure this makes sense even, the album made me feel a lot but I guess I rarely feel the need to think about why or whatever
Johann Johansson, Gorecki, Steve Tibbets
Thanks for your reply. I personally think the album mind fucked me when I started listening to it after the rec. I had listened to and loved it a lot before but when the first track comes on and he just starts speaking to you I took it on a road that lead me to believing it to be about revolution. It assumed you already understood everything they were going to say was given fact. Listened to it again recently and it sounds like that still but then blurs towards the end into it being about addiction and that (possibly) being the end of their band mate. (still havent looked too seriously for that info but thats what knees sounds like it talks about)
​
This also could also mean that they too hear the message of revolution in music these days but often see people around them high on weed or drunk not really getting the message and killing themselves instead of actually gathering and doing anything. idk, just thought of that but maybe that idea could pan out idk. lol anyways if you read this thanks for partaking in my theories.
​
edit:
the instrumentation alone on this album being as cold and calculated as it is might just be enough to mind fuck some people. i know superman that was really hard for me to get into at first because of its angular and disjointed arrangement
Humanity absolutely fucks.
This is nice. :)
I am now having a very personal moment with this song. LOL
Asunder Sweet,And Other Distress from Godspeed You!Black Emperor is a 41+ minute emotionally exhausting,often skull-crushing masterpiece!!
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard Polygondwanaland
Id argue that Intersteller Overdrive is more of a mindfuck but both great tracks
Listened to all 4, holy fuck it's so good. Sun is what I'm listening to now. This is great.

Eat a couple hits of acid. Every song will be a mindfuck song, each one with the best tune you've ever heard and will ever hear- until the next one comes on
