 Topic: Favorite concept album´s concept!
Posted: May 11 2007 at 21:26 |
|
So, if the title is not clear enough, this is not a thread about your favorite concept album, but from your favorite concept! The story, the idea, just that. No music, just lyrics and theme, ok?
Ok then...
I must say The Wall is my favorite concept. It has everything, its so deep and yet so easily understandable, just a mastermind like Waters could do it
I will most some more eventually...

Wellll...Operation: Mindcrime is my favorite album, but I think it probably also has my favorite story of any album as well. I can see Savatage's "Dead Winter Dead" giving it a slight run for its money however.

Tweedles, The Resident's recent concept album about a sex-addicted evil clown wannabe. It's twisted and is full of penises, which is a really weird combination.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Nektar's Remember the Future: It's about a blind boy and his magical friend, a giant bird from outer space. What's more prog than that?!?!

"The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" and "Subterranea". The former is a very exuberant journey into the mind's deepest corners in order to find redemption from one's own selfishness. Freedom must be conquered on the surrealistic verge of madness. The latter is the tragic story of a former captive who attempts to conquer his own freedom and self-affirmation... only to find that his authentic fate is to be a captive. Accepting slavery as the very essence of your truest self... that's a major misery, indeed.
Kind regards.

Oh, hands down, The Who Sell Out.
Good album, but you can't beat the concept of the band becoming an ultra radio friendly pop band (especially in, what, '67?).

Tales From Topographic Oceans, though i can hardly understand it.
The Wall, Scenes from a Memory, The Snow Goose & Aqualung are other great ones.

Still Life by Opeth.
A guy is banished from a town where his true love lives, returns many years later to see her killed and himself hung.
How cool is that? Seriously. (I like concept albums that tell a story from beginning to end throughout the album, which surprisingly few of them do)

PoS's The Perfect Element has the best concept IMO (mainly because it blends with the music so briliantly). Brave, Christ 0, Still Life and Animals all have very good concepts as well.
