How would you make a ____ album?
Basically, one person asks the next user, "how would you make a ____ album" with whatever that first user chooses filling up the gap, then picks another label to fill in the question. This would likely be easier with genres, but can also be used for anything you want, so if you can, get creative.
Example, if someone asked me, "how would you make a rap metal album," I'd say something along the lines of, "Picture Dalek with some Killing Joke riffs, but a balance between edgy noise and more melodic noise akin to a Deftones album."
OK, so how would you make a prog rock album?

How would you make a pornogrind album?
I'd call it "In Heat" and use growling dog vocals with some faint, atmospheric female moaning. Of course, it will be fifteen tracks and only last 7 minutes.
How would you make a new age album?
How would you make a new age album?
I'd combine the lush synth-driven soundscapes of Vangelis & Tangerine Dream with the soothing beats of Enigma & layers of silky Japanese-inspired clean guitar work from Marty Friedman & Jason Becker, all while summoning the ghost of Alice Coltrane to contribute deep religious mumbo jumbo over the top. An expansive Mike Oldfield production job wouldn't go astray either.
How would you make a schranz album?
Never heard of that genre so I thought it'd be interesting to look it up.
From what I can tell the highly compressed drums need to stay just as a genre thing, but I'd probably give the atmospheric sections and buildups a bit more variety or melody rather than just modulating the initial loop, which seems to be the preferred writing? Try and give the sections outside of the pumping rave beats more texture like a KOAN Sound or Author and Punisher to keep it on the dark aggressive side, it would probably end up veering into Perturbator Darksynth territory.
The only two albums I checked out to see what this was were Loudboxer by Speedy J and Inferno by Miss Djax, and I'd definitely stay on the Loudboxer side of sound design since Inferno seems to only have rave-style tracks that are meant to be overly-compressed festival songs. Without listening to the whole thing, the dynamics and overall feel/grooves of Loudboxer is way more interesting to me.
How about Avant-Garde Metal?
A war metal variant of Disharmonium Nahab with some Mico-style metalcore and grind. But I'd leave some room for Lovecraftisn vibes.
How would you make a cyber metal album?
If you're going for the epic symphonic Mechina/Neurotech style of cyber metal, the ingredients are the industrial electronics of Fear Factory, the djenty guitars of Meshuggah, the cinematic symphonics of Two Steps From Hell, and the progressive structure of Symphony X. Vocal styles may vary.
How about an epic deathcore album in the style of Lorna Shore? How would you make that?
How about an epic deathcore album in the style of Lorna Shore? How would you make that?
I'd recruit some very talented symphonic power metal musicians & would give them some neck tattoos & huge holes through their ear lobes. Then I'd pay them to create something called "death metal" which none of them have much of a prior understanding of. I'd request that they add a generic hardcore breakdown to each track where the vocalist should do their best to try to vomit all over the microphone.
How would you make an ambient album?
In other words, you'd make an average deathcore album :P
Ambient: Imagine if King Crimson and Tangerine Dream got together. It would be a little jazzy, occasionally folksy, throw in an emotional rollercoaster with some chamber and black ambient, and maybe include a Philip Glass cover.
How would you make a folk pop album?
