12.01.12 | I like concept albums. Reading the lyrics and figuring out the story of a good concept album is fun. |
demigod93
12.01.12 | love a good concept album, I especially love it when they properly establish a certain setting and really make you feel like you're there.
Like Sufjan's concept albums. Illinoise really makes you feel like you're actually in Illinois. |
bach
12.01.12 | If the concept relates to nature and/or space, I'll throw twenties at it until I'm bankrupt. |
demigod93
12.01.12 | also I didn't know Young Team was a concept album. what's it's concept? |
sideburndude
12.01.12 | I like them, a theme or story can enhance music. |
ADM20
12.01.12 | I'm kinda naturally tuned to concept albums. I tend to look at an album as a single piece of music, no matter what, and I just feel a lot more comfortable when I'm supposed to see it that way. |
toxin.
12.01.12 | Linkin Park's concept album was sweet |
AdamK
12.02.12 | 5 is fucking amazing |
DrMaximus
12.02.12 | I think their fucking brilliant |
akimbo
12.02.12 | what adm said ^ it's cool when an album feels like one piece of art and not just a collection of songs written inbetween albums. based on yr digs, check out trainwreck by boys night out, some people think they're gay, but when you listen to the whole album it's actually really fuckin sweet. lost ground and travels by defeater are cool too if you like hardcore |
Chortles
12.02.12 | they're annoying unless executed really well |
AdamK
12.02.12 | i second Defeater- Travels it's really good |
wacknizzle
12.02.12 | Like Sufjan's concept albums. Illinoise really makes you feel like you're actually in Illinois. [2]
Concept albums are really cool when the band can pull em off but good music written based off the artist's emotions in life usually brings out the best music concept or not. Would I wanna hear an artist like Elliott Smith do a concept record? probably not and that's why I didn't. |
Squidplane
12.02.12 | Lost Ground and Travels are both excellent |
Crawl
12.02.12 | Colors |
menawati
12.02.12 | yea love them when they are done well, even if it's not a full concept but a general loose theme running through the music it's preferable than generic stuff all thrown together |
Dolving999
12.02.12 | Concept albums are awesome. Just look at Jane Doe, Precambrian and every single Defeater album. |
MiniatureHorse
12.02.12 | List needs more Alesana (Yeah, right.) But seriously, where's Jane Doe? |
ViperAces
12.02.12 | wish you were here |
MiniatureHorse
12.02.12 | Good one, Viper Aces < 3 |
MiniatureHorse
12.02.12 | ANIMALS, btw. |
ViperAces
12.02.12 | yea also dsotm |
minty901
12.02.12 | mono's hymn to the immortal wind would probably count, i suppose. every song has an accompanying chapter in an overarching short story. it's more of a "meta" concept album, as it requires extra reading. |
PaddyPooHead
12.02.12 | what's the concept behind 1? |
derho
12.02.12 | yeah since when is 1 a concept album? |
Squidplane
12.03.12 | These aren't concept albums, just digs |
