TheSpirit

EVedder27
02.03.10 | pretentious list is pretentious |
eternium
02.03.10 | Needs Still Life and Oceanic.
The Ocean's next two albums have an even better concept. |
Knott-
02.03.10 | best concept album would be gavin castleton - home |
Nagrarok
02.03.10 | Not having The Wall on this is pretty fail tbh. |
liledman
02.04.10 | have a nice life - deathconsciousness
75 page booklet for that shit. |
Phil
02.04.10 | Porcupine Tree's The Incident and Fear of Blank Planet. They are fully pretentious. |
SeaAnemone
02.04.10 | It's a big pet peeve of mine that people here completely butcher and misuse the term pretentious. |
TMobotron
02.04.10 | Lol you think 75 pages is a lot? How about that new Coheed album?
Also yeah, don't want to be too harsh here but this is not even close to what pretentious means. |
EVedder27
02.04.10 | philly the Incident is hardly a good concept album. There really isn't much to it. And in all seriousness, list definitely needs The Wall, Quadrophenia, The Lamb Lies Down Broadway, and many others. |
Phil
02.04.10 | Vedder, I never said it was good. |
EVedder27
02.04.10 | yeah I know I should have phrased that differently. What I really meant is that it isn't well developed or complex at all. |
scissorlocked
02.04.10 | the human equation is a good choice for sure!and ok the wall is maybe the best concept album!!I was just trying to find some really perplexed concepts!!!Quadrophenia is also a must,I agree with evedeer!Maybe i must expand the list!!! |
scissorlocked
02.04.10 | I havent added any cohhed album because the whole story is based on the amory wars comic,and its essentila to have read those in order to understand the concept.But if you had I bet it would be very enjoyable and interesting. |

02.04.10 | /feeling ignored |
Knott-
02.04.10 | anenome you would agree that The Earth Sings Mi Fa Mi is a pretentious concept no? the earth's tonal output as it orbits the sun... |
Acre
02.04.10 | Yeah, I guess you could say the concept is pretentious, although the band rarely make any specific allusions to earth's tonality.
Also, if we're talking pretentious concept albums, as much as I love them, De-loused/Frances the Mute definitely belong on the list. |
Jips
02.04.10 | uh Styx- Mr. Robotto... so pretentious it broke up the band... |
Meatplow
02.04.10 | I do like Tommy |
qwe3
02.04.10 | the wall |
Mordecai.
02.04.10 | yes ^^^ |
TMobotron
02.04.10 | isnt the earth sings mi fa mi just named after the idea that the earth makes those tones as it orbits? i thought it was based off something that was an actual belief at some point, not a concept album. |
Knott-
02.04.10 | well yes im struggling to see your point
the albums idea (read: concept) is all the tonality bullshit
isnt that the same thing
im confused |
