'''''34.788%...Complete''''' is the fifth studio album by English [doom metal](/source/doom_metal) band [My Dying Bride](/source/My_Dying_Bride), released on 6 October 1998. The track "Under Your Wings and into Your Arms" appears on both ''[The Voice of the Wretched](/source/The_Voice_of_the_Wretched)'' CD and the ''[Sinamorata](/source/Sinamorata)'' DVD, and the opening track, "The Whore, the Cook and the Mother" appeared on their latest live DVD, ''[An Ode to Woe](/source/An_Ode_to_Woe)''.

The Japanese version of the album featured a bonus track, entitled "Follower". This track was also featured on the 2003 re-release digipak of the album.

The album was dedicated to the memory of Richard Jackson, father of bassist Adrian.

==Album information==
''34.788%...Complete'' is the only My Dying Bride record to feature drummer Bill Law. It is also the first to exclude long-time keyboardist and violinist [Martin Powell](/source/Martin_Powell), who  became a live member of [Anathema](/source/Anathema_(band)) shortly afterwards.

The spoken word interlude during "The Whore, the Cook and the Mother" is based on the replicant interrogation method from the movie ''[Blade Runner](/source/Blade_Runner)''. Questions are asked in [Cantonese](/source/Cantonese) and reversed, and singer [Aaron Stainthorpe](/source/Aaron_Stainthorpe)'s replies can be heard.

The album's title was derived from a dream that guitarist [Calvin Robertshaw](/source/Calvin_Robertshaw) had where he was told the human race had a limited lifespan on Earth, 34.788% of which had already expired.<ref>[http://www.metal-rules.com/interviews/MDB-May2004.htm Aaron Stainthorpe interview] metal-rules.com. Retrieved on 2010-02-27.</ref>

==Musical style==
Despite a more experimental sound, the album continues the clean [doom metal](/source/doom_metal) style of 1996's ''[Like Gods of the Sun](/source/Like_Gods_of_the_Sun)'', highlighting the interplay of guitars played by Calvin Robertshaw and [Andrew Craighan](/source/Andrew_Craighan).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/34788-complete-mw0000601065 |last=Ankeny |first=Jason |title=34.788% Complete Review |website=[AllMusic](/source/AllMusic) |access-date=April 3, 2024}}</ref>
