Hey yo, I’m just like my country
I’m young, scrappy and hungry
And I’m not throwing away my shot! |

08.28.16 | Check out The Decemberists - The Hazards of Love, it is exactly what you're looking for |
Drifter
08.28.16 | The Dear Hunter's Act 1-3. At least check Act 2. They sound like they belong in the theater. Plus they're concepts |

08.28.16 | Check Buck Tick's 13kai. Based loosely on the famous Russian ballet Petrushka with its own gothic and demonic twist, multiple listens and reading the lyrics are highly recommended :3 |

I thought Act IV was kind of a dud. I still give it a 4, but it was too inspired by TCS and Migrant and just felt for the most part a rock album. (I.know they all are) That's not yo say it doesn't have classic "act" songs like Old Haunt, The Bitter Suites, and Night On The Town. |
Drifter
08.28.16 | Plus, it was very over produced and just too perfect. The first three acts had voice cracks and squeaky guitars which is what gave them such charm tbh |
Frippertronics
08.28.16 | Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
X Japan - Art of Life
David Bowie - Outside
Electric Light Orchestra - Eldorado
Harmonium - L'Heptade
Lou Reed - Berlin

08.28.16 | X Japan - Art of Life [2] |
Rik VII
08.28.16 | er, Art of Life is 5/5 but it doesn't tell a "big story with a clear literary structure". |
ashcrash9
08.28.16 | Drifter, I literally don't agree with any of that aside from the "classic" songs you pointed out being good
IV was easily my perfect Act to date for the reasons you disliked it lol |
