Metallica's 1991 self-titled album has become the fourth studio release ever to reach a historic chart record. The album, affectionately known as The Black Album, has officially spent a total of 750 weeks on the Billboard 200. It's the fourth record in history to spend that amount of time on the chart, following Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), the Bob Marley and The Wailers compilation album Legend (1984) and Journey's Greatest Hits (1988).

Psychedelic rock is unlike any other genre. Hitmakers like Pink Floyd, The Doors, The Flaming Lips, and more changed the musical world with their new takes on the rock genre. Some artists, though, only delivered a single album before calling it quits. Let’s take a gander at a few of the best (and most underrated) psychedelic rock bands that only released one album!

The Smashing Pumpkins have announced that their new album, Aghori Mhori Mei, will officially be released on August 2nd! This will be the band’s 13th album so far. According to consequence.net, the band’s frontman Billy Corgan shared his creative process behind the new album in a recent statement. Corgan says, “In the writing of this new album I became intrigued with the well-worn axiom, ‘you can’t go home again.’ Which I have found personally to be true in form but thought well, what if we tried anyway? Not so much in looking backwards with sentimentality but rather as a means to move forward; to see if in the balance of success and failure that our ways of making music circa 1990-1996 would still inspire something revelatory.”
