While re-listening to Bitches Brew tonight it occurred to me, there’s never been anything that sounds quite like it since, and there never will be again.
What are your favorite unicorn albums?

Not only are none of those unicorn albums if you randomly select timestamps in most of them, you can’t tell you even jumped. I used to love this kind of music, but you’ve failed the assignment. The question was not to solicit albums you like.
Entombed - Left Hand Path is an example where it helped redefine a genre, and nothing before or since has sounded like it (because they innovated the ‘buzz saw’ guitar sound).
Pierced From Within didn’t define the sound of Brutal Death Metal?
Nattens Madrigal didn’t innovate for Raw Black Metal?
There’s not a single record that sounds like Nihility does, nor does anything sound like Burial both in production and composition.
This question is asking for subjective answers. There’s no such thing as failure as you so kindly put it, only difference of opinion.
Your suggestion that LHP is somehow more appropriate of a response ignores the fact that it did the exact same thing for Swedish DM as Suffocation did for BDM.
The crux of my question was “unicorn”.
So if I can listen to 100 random metal tracks and they all sound derivative, it misses the point. Reach for albums that actually are unique in your suggestions.
I used to be a serious metal fan, so I’m no hater, but let’s be real.
I researched and listened to much of what was suggested in the comment, it all sounds exactly the same as every other death/speed/thrash/grind that’s been done to death aha. At least with LHP there’s a sound that can never be created again due to the unique equipment they borrowed, and their special configuration thereof. I don’t even think LHP qualifies as an answer to my own thread but at least there was effort in that suggestion, and I’d put money down that you can’t reference another album that sounds like it, where I can post 100 for every in the parent comment.
Metal folks ITT seem to be profoundly missing the point of my post.
