In 1976, Canadian rockers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rush_%28band%29 - Rush released their concept album http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2112 - 2112 . The title track was a 20.34 long piece that told the story of a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totalitarianism - totalitarian world in the future where free speech and creative thinking are non-existent. Some people believe that the story was based on the political climate of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Russia - Soviet Russia during the early 20th Century. Others believe that the story was heavily influenced by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayn_Rand - Ayn Rand's novel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthem_%28novella%29 - Anthem . The rest of the album consisted of songs that were completely unrelated to the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2112 - 2112 plot. The album was a landmark in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rush_%28band%29 - Rush's career and was their first multi-million selling album.
AHEM. I do believe that this pargraph contradicts itself...look closely. -------------

Ah yes -- now I see it: a "concept" album in which only half of the album is based upon the supposed unifying concept.
 Hmmm... what if an album had two distinct, unrelated concepts -- would it qualify as such?
 I don't think "concept album" is a formally-defined term. (It's not in either of my dictionaries here at work.) ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. |

Wikipedia is challenging Mastodon for most retarded people alive award. Then again, I'm not sure if Mastodon qualifies because in order to be a person, they must first be concious.

Well, wikipedia also had someone post that Samoth of Emperor was called "The Lord of Silence" because the British press nicknamed him that due to his inability to speak English (while he does have an obviously heavy Norwegian accent, samoth can speak English very good. Furthermore, his nickname i think preceded his fame-he signed a very early Emperor/Thou Shalt suffer offering with the nickname).
