Ziggy Stardust
Joe's Garage
The Black Parade

I just found what the album falls under which is a "rock opera."

A rock opera is a work of rock music that presents a storyline told over multiple parts, songs or sections in the manner of opera.

Now, really I'm looking for more general term that includes all genres. So I guess albums that have a storyline to them.

this is a joke right?

>>38663107
Listen to The Protomen.

Act II (The Father of Death) is my favorite, but Act I (The Protomen) is very good too.

Act II:

>>38663124
Ohh I totally forgot about Ziggy Stardust!!! Thank you!!!! And I have The Black Parade, too, that's a pretty good album.

The Protomen. The changes in style between each album is pretty great too.

>>38663172
No. I don't believe so. Why would it be?

>>38663242
>>38663265
Ooo, I'll look in to these two albums.

>>38663242
>>38663248
Opps, misclicked. I'll definitely looked into these two albums. Sounds very interesting. Thank you!!

The Hold Steady - Separation Sunday
The Mountain Goats - Tallahassee
Pink Floyd - The Wall
The Who - Tommy
The Who - Quadrophenia
The Decemberists - The Hazards Of Love

The list could go on...

Another album that I have; which is one out of projected tetralogy. It's about "The Armory Wars" and it spans over multiple albums.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Amory_Wars

>>38663385
Oh wow, I guess there are a ton of albums that have a storyline to them...

Well, on that note, what are really good ones that stand out to you? I'm really hoping there could be electronic/techno/trance ones.

Does ITAOTS count as a rock opera?

>>38663107
Kendrick Lamar- good kid, m.A.A.d city and Section.80
The Antlers- Hospice
Tyler, the Creator- Wolf
Ghostface Killah & Adrian Younge- 12 Reasons To Die
Janelle Monae- Metropolis, The ArchAndroid, and The Electric Lady (when it's released)
Lupe Fiasco- The Cool
The Roots- Undun
Deltron3030- Deltron3030

Other than than those mentioned already, these are all the concept with more present storylines I can think of. Hip-Hop and Rap music has a LOT of concept albums, the same with other genres, if you're looking for more concepts and individual stories other than ones with ones that span an entire album. I recommend the following:
Sufjan Stevens- Illinois
Neutral Milk Hotel- In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
MF Doom- MM...Food?
Madvillain- Madvillainy
The Who- The Who Sell Out

>>38663599
They're called concept albums.

>>38664254
Does ITAOTS actually have a story, or is it just centered around the same general idea/s?

>>38664542
Well, I could do without the hip-hop and rap. Thank you for the other recommendations. I've heard the name Neutral Milk Hotel before, but now I will definetly look into that album!! I am also looking for techno/electronic/trance concept albums.

>>38664254
I'm not necessarily looking for rock operas. More like just concept albums.

>>38664583
Thank you! That perfectly describes it!

>>38664653
Magnum said that the inspiration was anne frank, but the lyrics seem a bit more connected from song to song. I thought it was a couple coming together because they both had abusive families, then separating. The girl dies and he tries to cope. Thats the impression I got from the album at least.

All There's self-titled debut recently came out. It's an electronic dreampop album with a story that focuses on a couple's dissolving relationship over a year. Incredibly sad, but very well done, and with some awesome relaxing music to boot.

http://allthere.bandcamp.com/album/all-there

>>38664743
The Wall is a pretty good place to start. cohesive story, real world time frame. Even if you don't quite get it, you can watch the film which lays it all out. Daft Punk made their album into a conceptual album with Interstella 5555, but you can sort of understand the story through the album alone

>>38664921
Let me clarify, the Daft punk album is Discovery. my bad

>>38663107

>>38663107
You mean a concept album?

Try The Downward Spiral by NIN, it's a pretty good one that hasn't been mentioned yet

>>38665089
I was just going to tell him that too.

>>38663107
Have you heard 21st Century Breakdown?
That's a concept album too just like American Idiot (big Green Day fag here)

>>38664921
>>38665068
The Wall is a very good! I have it on vinyl!

>>38664861
Is it only available through bandcamp?

>>38665034
Probably my favorite from them.
Hell, their whole discography is out of this world.

>>38664872
Ooo, power metal. I have a couple Ayreon albums, and they are fantastic. I recommend the band to you. Thanks!

>>38664743
Honestly, if you're looking for albums with storylines that you are describing, Hip Hop is your best bet.

I guess if you're looking for a techno concept album I guess Cross by Justice technically counts, but it'd be pretty hard to make an album with a storyline that has no words in it.

>>38665298
Its pretty solid.

>>38665034
I have Homework, Discovery, and their live album Alive 2007, and I just got RAM last week! I need to have another listen to Discovery lol

>>38665381
go for it

>>38665157


but 21st century breakdown was kinda shit.


-fellow green day fag

you may disagree but I saw the story in this

>>38665157
I haven't been following Green Day for a years, but I still have a thing for their earlier albums (Dookie, Nimrod, Warning, American Idiot, etc..)
I'll definitely look into 21st Century Breakdown. Have they changed any of their styles since then?

>>38665411
far worse and more edgy that american idiot

Why the fuck is Reddit raiding us a bunch today?

did we raid them or something?

>>38665089
>>38665128
Ha ha, yes, I did mean that. Someone pointed that earlier out in the thread. Shame I can't edit my first post.

>>38665445
women are sluts and you shouldn't give them the time of day?

>>38665497
I don't believe so, but I just went on /b/. They are raiding 9fag with gore

>>38665460
less gritty, more piano

>>38665488

american idiot has the right amount of edgyness thats why it's great.

>>38665460
nah, they kinda went downhill after 21st century breakdown. I still listen to the 21stCB and the stale trilogy but I find myself listening to their 90's stuff. you talking to a guys here who has over 3000 scrobbles to greenday on last fm

>>38665497

Tyler's albums Bastard, Goblin, and Wolf fall into a storyline of his life.

>>38665597
agreed

>>38665334
>but it'd be pretty hard to make an album with a storyline that has no words in it.
Well, there are a couple electronic albums with vocals in them like Shaking The Habitual for example, but I suppose it would be difficult to find concepts albums under the electronic/electro genre. Thanks though.

Catch 22 - Permanent Revolution follows the life of Leon Trotsky, and it's one of my favourite albums.

Bomb The Music Industry! - Vacation is one album that I don't think is widely known as a concept album, but I would call it one, since a lot of the songs have similar themes and it has the same kind of feel to it as other concept albums. It's also another of my favourite albums

Queens Of The Stone Age - Songs For The Deaf is about a drive through the desert, and whether or not you're looking for concept albums you should listen anyways because it's great.

Titus Andronicus - The Monitor is kind of a concept album about teenage life in New Jersey disguised by a Civil War metaphor and it's one of the best albums released this decade, so listen to it.

>>38665460
Their last album (technically three, but they were all released in a short space of time) was fucking awful, but 21st Century Breakdown is at least decent, so you should look into it. Don't bother with anything after it though

>>38665571
I forgot 1,2,and 3. They are absolute garbage

>>38665411
>>38665488
>>38665571
>>38665597
>>38665733
>>38665742
I'm not sure if I will have an unbiased view on this album after all these posts...

>>38665598
I'm not a fan of hip-hop or rap. Thanks though.

This is the best Metal concept album of all time. It's a story about 8 characters (all sung by different people) taken from different periods of time and given the task of reaching Electric Castle.

>>38665334
I actually find it very fun and interesting to create my own story to an EDM album. Like deadmau5' Random Album Title, I've listened to that album so many times and It eventually became a story type thing for me. Like Interstella 5555 with Daft Punk's Discovery, that kind of thing.

>>38665779
I wouldn't call it shit by any means, it just wasn't as good as AI. You should definitely listen anyway though, but make sure to ignore the trilogy at all costs

>>38665779
don't get me wrong, I like green day but 21st century isnt the best. I tells an okay story and there are some good songs. Just take it all in

>>38665779
You've never heard it? Well, it's good in my opinion, just don't go in listening to it thinking it's going to suck, keep an open mind.

>>38665543
There's no gore, but there's some kind of feature where you can chose to start a gif, I wish other sites had that

>>38665859
I think it all depends on how big of GD fan you are to listen to the trilogy. If you're really into them, you should give them a chance because even if people say it's bad, it will be interesting to hear, especially for yourself.

>>38665859
>ignore the trilogy
yep. I thought to myself "oh look, my favorite band from high school put out a new album. wait... THREE NEW ALBUMS? YES!"
torrented them, listened to Uno as I claw at my copy of american idiot, hoped for the end, deleted all the albums. don't go down that road OP

>>38663107
Listen to defeater's discography
>broken family post WWII
>dad abusive bastard, drunk :3rd album and EP based on him
>mom: heroin junkie and cheater
>1st son: Golden child with fucked up life. second album POV. pic related
>2nd son. unloved and abused. kills father and brother. first album's POV

>>38665889
Ah, that would explain it.

>>38663107
>Saying American Idiot is a really good album
Mah niggah

>>38665733
>Catch 22 - Permanent Revolution follows the life of Leon Trotsky, and it's one of my favourite albums.

I haven't heard of the first two, but I will give them a listen!
>Queens Of The Stone Age - Songs For The Deaf is about a drive through the desert, and whether or not you're looking for concept albums you should listen anyways because it's great.
I like Queens of the Stone Age, they're pretty good!
>Titus Andronicus - The Monitor is kind of a concept album about teenage life in New Jersey disguised by a Civil War metaphor and it's one of the best albums released this decade, so listen to it.
>life in New Jersey disguised by a Civil War metaphor
I'm going to listen to this one first! This would be very interesting to listen to!

Thanks!

>>38665832
I have a couple Ayreon albums. Thanks!

>>38665950
I disagree, Green Day were my favourite band for a while and I was really excited about hearing that they had three new albums out, like >>38665975. Then it turned out that they were fucking awful. It sucked bad to realise that a band I loved so much had become that bad.
Fucking Kill the DJ man

>>38666043
Be prepared for some intense feels from Titus, that album's a fucking killer.

>>38666066
>Kill the DJ
I think I just threw up a little

>>38665859
>>38665868
>>38665886
I'll listen to tomorrow to figure how I think about it. If there's piano, I don't mind, I admire multi-instrumentalist. As long as it's not unbearably "edgy," I think I may like it.

>>38666263
Have fun! come back and tell us what you think. Igottogodosomething seeya

mfw after reading that. That is uh, very fucked up. Wow.

Is this a new band? I've never heard of them. I'm interested in listening to one of the albums.

>>38666129
Funny thing about Uno Dos and Tre is that they all got positive reviews haha.

>>38666343
I will be back some time around tomorrow, as I will be going to bed in a couple minutes.

>>38666486
yep, it was viewed as pop music. but then again, pop is a genre that quickly forgets its music. That unholy trinity is remembered because it came from the same loins as Nimrod and Dookie. Another example is MCR, they released that Danger Days shit and fucked up their credibility

>>38666124
>Be prepared for some intense feels from Titus, that album's a fucking killer.
Oh god. I thought I would listen to the first track before I go to bed, and I'm already liking it.

I thank every that participated in this thread, and for every one that suggested albums for me! I have received many which will take more than a day to listen to. I will be getting off now, as I am very tired.

>>38666709
Nighty night.

>>38666607
>Danger Days
>Shit
It may be my least favourite, but that's because the rest of their albums are fucking brilliant. It's still a great album, just because Gerard was in a happier place when he wrote it doesn't make it bad

>>38666709
Night OP, I hope you enjoy the albums!

>Dream Theater: Metropolis Part 2: Scenes from a Memory
I know /mu/ hates Dream Theater, but this album has a really great story behind it, and it's not overly technical or progressive like some of their stuff tends to be.
Give it a listen.

>>38666413
been around since ~2007-2008, Just released a new album a few weeks ago (letters home). If you can deal with yelling (not screaming. actually yelling) they are good. Start with endless days and sleepless nights. or if you want to be a puritan
>travels
>losing ground EP
>endless days
>sleepless nights EP
>letters home

There isn't an exact order to the events. they all kinda mirror each other. it's just following through their progression.

The last song on ED&SN (white oak doors) is really fucking heart wrenching. It cut's out on the 1st brothers last thoughts.

Read the lyrics with it.


also
>still searching - senses fail
you'd like them if you like older MCR

I'm too lazy to read the thread and find out if it's already been posted, but what you want are concept albums.

You need to check out Hospice by The Antlers.

i can't believe how nice most people were in this thread

>>38666911
Emo Fag Alpha Beta Straight Boy here, I love Senses Fail

>>38666966
I almost insulted him for completely dismissing hip-hop but I decided not to.

>>38666981
Thoughts on reancer?

>7/10 It was alright but it seemed t have a lot of filler tracks. even more then the fire

>>38666966
I was surprised too, but I just went with it, if it makes someone who doesn't seem to know much about music into someone who knows at least a bit about music, then honestly, is that not the better thing to do than call him a faggot and piss him off?

>>38667025
i was expecting some sort of patrician mob to come in with a bunch if implications.
it's a nice surprise though

>>38667060
I like Life is a Waiting room. Yellow Angels or Lungs like Gallows

>>38665230
I think there's a link to it somewhere on the archive but don't quote me on that. Other than that it's just bandcamp for now- it's gonna be on Spotify and all those soon but isn't there yet.

>>38663169
btw OP, the general term would be a "concept album"

>>38666966
Can /mu/ be like this more?
I want more helpfulness rather than attacking even tiny aspects of certain posts and ignoring the point entirely.

la disputes last two albums

>ctrl+f: Zen Arcade
>0 results

What you even doing, /mu/?

>>38668422
i'm sorry.
i should have known better

>>38667322
That's a good album

Sure, it's a story everyone knows but it's adapted so well. And instrumentally this album is a knockout.

>>38663107
Between the Burried and Me - The Parallax I and II. The story is pretty complex and takes some thinking, but it's prett great, and the music is amazing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxSMVkc6fh8 Here's II. I was an EP.

>>38663107
dude if you like American Idiot than you weill worship The Who, check out Tommy or Quadrophenia; lierally two of the best albums ever.

Don't listen to the haters, American Idiot is one of the better albums out there :)

this is a story about control...
actually most janet jackson albums have a concept or a story, so try those

This album is about a Norwegian qt who gets lured into the woods by trolls

Queensrÿche: Operation: Mindcrime

sound the alarm, under the boards, and daybreak in that order.

>>38663242
>Listen to The Protomen.

The absolute worst advice you could receive from this thread, OP.

Avoid The Protomen at all costs.

>>38663107
Protest The Hero - Kezia and Fortress.

Two of the best albums ever, of any genre.

Antichrist Superstar
Mechanical Animals
Holy Wood

Surprised no one posted this gem.

>>38664743
MM...Food? Is a godly hip-hop album if you think you don't like hip-hop because you've heard a few albums

>>38663124
>Black Parade
oh god no, their earlier two albums both tell better stories if we are going to include them with this conversation at all

Also:
Berlin
Zen Arcade
Franks Wild Years

That said I prefer concept over storyline albums but the above three are all completely essential classics

oh fuck i finally checked out /mu/ again after a couple years i'm leaving now
