Can be from any genre. Mine is when an acoustic guitar comes in towards the end of a song and totally changes or reframes the mood/energy (see “Money” by Widowspeak)
I like it when a song turns to sounding like a large group of people singing the song.
acoustic guitar comes in towards the end of a song and totally changes or reframes the mood/energy
The Stage by Avenged Sevenfold fits the bill. Especially if you watch the video along with the music, that song is just all around fucking great, to include the ending.
BT - Firewater is a very extreme example of this. First part of the song is more ‘ethnic electronica’.

I was also reminded of A7X except I thought of their song Sidewinder. The guitar ending is my favorite part.
Aeolian/Dorian mode mixture
2, 5, flat 6 to the key change. Or a nice 4 minor chord.
Never knew I liked this too, but it sounds nice so I guess I agree.
I quite enjoy it when songs sneakily build up, starting out with a mellow rhythm and after a few minutes, you find yourself in the middle of an epic solo on top of this thick carpet of rhythm, and it’s all very much over the top, but it works, because of that slow build-up.

I used to get annoyed by pink floyd songs being so slow. I now realize it’s so much more powerful and overwhelming because it started slow
I don’t know you or your general taste in music but if you ever want something a bit more modern yet als doing the ‘start slow until you made a wall of sound out of it’ thing, I highly recommend you check out the band Motorpsycho! Pretty much every album they made in the 90s and early 2000s have always at least one great song which will build and build and build up to a great crescendo. Their other stuff is absolutely great too! Their song Vortex Surfer got played for 24 hours on new years eve (I think it was 99 to 2000) on a Norwegian radio station.

Breakdowns. Chug chug chug chug chug Random growls and barks
Mmmmmmmmmm. Soothes my soul.
I call them groove breaks, when the song takes a little break and just grooves for a bit.
The video version of Even Flow by Pearl Jam has a great one, Stranglehold has one, the album version of Sweet Emotions has one as the intro, so maybe not technically a break.
You might like Utah, Gateway to Nevada by A Plage of Locusts then. It changes back and forth between a slower, groovy chorus, and a slightly more energetic refrain.
Key change!
Y’all dumb motherfuckers want a key change?
So you should like “Golden Lady” by Stevie Wonder. Its key changes many many times from start to finish
BLEGH whenever the Singer in a hardcore show says BLEGH sucker punch yo neighborhood. See Hatebreed, Terror for examples of BLEGH
I love songs that completely change genre partway through. Can be slow acoustic songs that switch to fast techno; loud, bangy songs that turn calm and soft; rap songs with calm, piano-based choruses; whatever.
Examples would be:
- Still Loving You by Sonata Arctica
- Lost Winter Days by Alpine Universe
- Journey to the End by Windir
- Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance.
Scaretale by Nightwish and Little Piece of Heaven by Avenged Sevenfold are both all over the place in terms of genre.
Little Piece Of Heaven is the Bohemian Rhapsody of metal, I love it.

God yes, using changing genres to tell a story in your music is such a power move
Don’t forget Bohemian Rhapsody, the all-time king of this niche.
Stairway?
Yeah, Stairway is another great example.
Aqualung does it well, too.
Here is a song I think you are going to LOVE: Set to Stun - Walk Tall II
You’re right, I do love it!
Glad to hear it!! They are starting to talk about putting a new album out soon, too!

Stone Cold Metal by Ensiferum does that as well
On that subject, Sleep Token - The Summoning has a fun progression https://youtu.be/wJNbtYdr-Hg

This, but primarily more along proggy lines.
i love the “stepped sound” electro swing music has, especially when brass instruments come into play; the best example i can find is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGbW44AEHeM

Track 99 on CDs
I like when there’s a whole change in rhythm that makes the song totally different. Like this one: https://youtu.be/ibmk1RDHaEs?feature=shared

Like Cream - Layla, basically 2 songs on one, completely different genres
Yes!
I like short intros with only vocals like “Hush” from Stick to your Guns.
Multiple lines of a song being one sentence, with the candence carrying it through the lines. Eg. Snowman by Sia.
With Every Heartbeat by Kleerup and Robyn uses this in a beautiful way!
