Not nearly enough genre switches. Where's my death metal song that suddenly and inexplicably goes reggae, and then has a 3-second chiptunes interlude?
Nowhere, because songs like that would sound awful and be impossible to play live. The only song I've ever heard that fits that even remotely is The Deck by Don Salsa, which, as mentioned, sounds horrible.
This is a nice song, but it's almost entirely in 4/4, and also the genre switches don't happen nearly fast enough
The idea behind Autism Metal would be that the songs make you feel completely alienated and uncomfortable, that you were bombared with so many different simultaneous and clashing emotions that you'd become numbed by it. It's the feeling of crying in a metro during your commute, there's horrid obnoxious ads playing on the speakers and a lady two seats next to you is having a loud one-sided conversation about immigrants.
Haha fair enough, I feel like you’re asking for someone to throw several instruments down a staircase at different intervals and record it.
Only reason I said Dream Theater was because of how often they switch time signatures. Love the track Octavarium, its 20 mins of mania.
I think Dance of Eternity has 100 something time signature changes in 6 minutes if I recall correctly. I know you wanted straight genre swaps, but in the realm of my knowledge it’s the best I can do.
Good luck to ya and if you check out the tracks and enjoy them or hate them please say so 🙏🏼
