There may be a point when getting too diverse just makes the music a mess. Fortuantely I don't know if I have a diverse album in my collection.

I think the Secret Chiefs 3 stuff is just as equally diverse, although Secret Chiefs 3 blended the wide range of genres more than Mr Bungle. that said, I can never argue against Disco Volante. It's been one of my favorite albums since it came out so very long ago

+1 Sign O the Times - Prince
+1 The 2nd Law - Muse

Surprised to see that no one has mentioned Evil Urges by My Morning Jacket. Very diverse.

That's probably one of the least stretched on the list since there's practically a whole song dedicated to it. I'd like to know which song is rockabilly.

While a think you're stretching it a bit with a bunch of those, I agree that Disco Volante is one of the most "diverse" albums I love. Used to be on my chart, fantastic album.

I challenge any of you to find an album more diverse than Mr Bungle's 'Disco Volante'. Hell the last song by itself is more diverse than half of the suggestions I've seen posted. I'll do my best to list then genre's with in this album, but some of the stuff is hybrid and transcends any genre. Noise rock, metal, rockabilly, techno, middle eastern, operatic italian, outsider music, soul, cartoon orchestra, avant garde, ambient, swing, 50's sci fi soundtracks, pop, death metal, electronica, country styled crooning, and a multitude of different jazz styles. There's some stuff on there I'm not sure how to describe. Anyone know of something more diverse, please let me know, because I doubt it.

It's not good or bad, It's just a way to make an album.

Brother in Arms - Dire Straits. And you know what? The album might've been great without the rewarding bonus of diversity.

Yeah, I was kind of stretching it for that one. Like I said, I didn't think all of them through in detail.
