40 Best Noise Rock Albums of All Time

Zak Ben - Monday, April 14, 2014

We all know: since the birth of rock 'n' roll, the noise has contributed to blow your ears to thinking well, raise juvenile hormones and attract the attention of the police. But what happens when the feedback, distortion and drone of guitars are the soil in which to germinate strange and unexpected mixtures?

Discuss Noise means talk of experimentation, Hardcore Punk attitude, violence and sublimation of unsustainable.

From Nyc noisy of Sonic Youth and Swans, up to extremes of Noisecore and Harsh Noise, passing through progressions to neutral and limit of the audible coming from the rising sun, a ranking needed more stinging on the albums of all time, and not only.

Make sure you have earplugs, and good depth!
