Line 19:
* Add in names of remixes and you can get some ridiculous stuff indeed, like the [[Pet Shop Boys]]' "I Don't Know What You Want But I Can't Give It Any More (Peter Rauhoffer New York Mix)".
* JLIAT (aka James Whitehead), obsessively fond of pristine sine-wave ambient devoid of embellishment. Not all of his CD titles, however, reflect this desire for simplicity. Most notably ''A Long Drone-Like Piece of Music Made With Synthesizers, Samplers and Digital Delays Which Attempts in its Minimalism to Be A Thing In Itself Without External Reference, Having an Analogue in Certain States of Consciousness Where Being is Experienced Also''; another example would be ''When We Focus On Nothing as Opposed to The Set Or Subset Of Infinite Events with Whatever Intellect We Have in That Moment the Conscious State Becomes Aware of the Alternative to the Infinity of States Which in its Apprehension is Enlightenment.'' (yes, the period is included)
* From ''life changing moments seem minor in pictures'' by C418, including the title track, "Long songs are for people who don't have time to make them short", "Lack of creativity is dangerous in Berlin", "If you don't know what to do just steal the amen break", "Kitchens are best for making sound effects" and "I will perhaps never meet you in person".
* [[Bring Me the Horizon]]'s 2019 EP ''Music to listen to~dance to~blaze to~pray to~feed to~sleep to~talk to~grind to~trip to~breathe to~help to~hurt to~scroll to~roll to~love to~hate to~learn Too~plot to~play to~be to~feel to~breed to~sweat to~dream to~hide to~live to~die to~GO TO.''

== Metal: Or, a genre of rock music that uses a thick, massive sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion, extended guitar solos, emphatic beats, and overall loudness. ==
Line 56 ⟶ 74:
** Nile loves this trope: in fact, Karl Sanders has said in an interview that he does it on purpose so he can annoy his managers. The worst offender so far is "Chapter of Obeisance Before Giving Breath to the Inert One in the Presence of the Crescent Shaped Horns," though "Papyrus..." comes close.
** There's also "In Their Darkened Shrines III: Destruction of the Temple of the Enemies of Ra" and "Libation Unto The Shades Who Lurk In The Shadows Of The Temple Of Anhur." The last one is rather ironic, since it's an interlude track, in the time it takes to say the name twice, the song's almost over.
*
* Gamma Ray have a live DVD called "Hell Yeah!! - The Awesome Foursome (And The Finnish Keyboarder Who Didn't Want To Wear His [[Donald Duck]] Costume) Live in Montreal." .
* Bal-Sagoth likely takes the crown on this trope. They have an ''album'' called ''Starfire Burning Upon the Ice-Veiled Throne of Ultima Thule'', which contained no song which had less than seven words (the biggest one had twenty). And, of course, there's ''The Dark Liege of Chaos is Unleashed at the Ensorcelled Shrine of A'Zura Kai (The Splendour of a Thousand Swords Gleaming Beneath the Blazon of the Hyperborean Empire Part II)''. Go on, check Wikipedia.
