What are some albums that tell a story, /mu/?
Do yourself a favor and listen to Tommy by The Who
>>53311215and Quadrophenia
Whole thing is one long story, has skits too.
>>53311190The Constructous Corporation - The Ziggurat
lola vs powerman
Murder Ballads
Do yourself a favor and listen to Zen Arcade by Hüsker Du
WHEN I WAS
Red Headed Stranger by Willie NelsonTells the story of a cowboy who found his wife with another man. One of my all time favorite albums
>>53311432Nice. I was so disappointed when 36 seasons was basically a reiteration of this great album.
>>53311559This is a story? I don't think it's a story...
A lot of DBT albums tell stories
A bit cheesy. But great story. Best story best concept album imo
>>53311702Goddamn I love DBT
>>53311636It's not one story all the way through exactly, but it still feels like a few different ones, at least to me
>>53311788gotta disagree here, the story felt kinda pointless and didn't really have anything to saygood album though
their whole discography is all part of the same story.>inb4 babby's first prog
>>53311559There are recurring themes in every song. The guy who gets arrested in "Fall of the Star High School Running Back" is the subject of "Jeff Davis County Blues" and "Jenny", for instance.
>>53311947Haha i think you're one of the very few on /mu/. Most people here listen to like the same 5 bands I never heard of before this website
>>53311969>particcian pretense is happy with near unlistenable music looking for messages, meaning, feels, a
>>53312011>coheed and cambria
I'm going to post some dadrock.Cry me a fucking river.
>>53311788>>53311969>>53312131
>>53312161
>>53312198
>>53311969>And the ending draws near>Spirits rise through the air>All their fears disappear>It all becomes clear>A blinding light comes into view>An old soul exchanged for a new>Familiar voice comes shining through
>>53312221
>>53312246
>>53312151sick meme bro
>>53312246Def was done more in the 70s and stuff when people weren't as worried about putting out a good single.
>>53312272True. You're not going to get much of anything good put on the radio anymore anyways though now, so we may be seeing some more modern takes on the rock opera concept soon.
>>53311952Ah okay. Yeah it's basically a collection of stories all taking place in West Texas. So I guess it could be considered a concept album, but yeah, not really a cohesive story like others ITT. Fantastic album though. Can't wait for the new Mountain Goats album.
Not so much an "opera" but the whole album is about Carnival and Mardi Gras
>>53312376Still wish that America was more involved in Karneval, outside of just NO.
>>53312424New Orleans would hate that though. It's the only thing that keeps that shithole relevant.
>>53312530True. Unfortunately, my concerns are entirely separated from those of New Orleans.
>>53312480>liking Kamelot
>>53311559>>53311636i mean much more obvious is pic related
>>53312685True. Also Tallahassee and We Shall All Be Healed (kinda).
>>53312779I was typing about this but duplicate file detected.It's he absolute pinnacle of story-album perfection. Seriously listen to it if you want a beautiful and emotionally intense fairy tale set to folk rock with dabs of sludge metal influences.
Kind of
>>53311190You first OP
Children of God by Swans
>>53311190Wayne actually said that Yoshimi isn't a concept album.
>>53313133>>53313133chances are he probably doesn't even know what a concept album is
>>53313181>>53313181Why's that? The band has covered Tommy in it's entirety before
>>53313195He's shitposting>>53313133Yea he did, I think just because of some tracks in the second half that sort of lose focus. I still view it as one though
>>53313294This is still wrong. There is no concept on Yoshimi.
>>53313195dunno,the whole aesthetic behind the band and him made me think that.He's seems to me as that ignorant kind of guy, in a good way, the always-tripping-oblivious-to-everything way>>53313294>He's shitpostingsays the trip fag
>>53313426Glad to see you bought into the myth without knowing anything about the band.
>>53313359There is if you want there to be
>>53313476did not change my mind btw
>>53313506then there's no point to further discussion ITT
>>53313506Not how a concept album works. >>53313517Most people who fail to have informed opinions do.
>>53311380No
>>53313426What does my trip have to do with anything? Nice straw man, guy>>53313506Lol exactly, even tho it's not true
>>53313590See? What was so different about that post from having a trip?
>>53313546I was half kidding. You get my point though I hope.
>>53313613next time you enter a discussion don't start by calling someone's post shitposting.If,at this point, it's not clear enough to you yet, never attack a person's character instead of refute his arguments.The fact you did that under a trip does not help you either.>>53313839sorry, I didn't, do you mind actually proving me wrong with substantial facts
>>53314103>sorry, I didn't, do you mind actually proving me wrong with substantial factsI just meant that you can make your own concept/story when listening to an album.I think you might have thought I was the other guy you were arguing with.
>>53314222>I think you might have thought I was the other guy you were arguing withyes,my bad m8
>>53312058Different Anon here, but DBT Is one of my top 5 bands. Brighter Than Creation's Dark is my fav album and Uncle Frank is my fav songalso, pic related is all about a friend committing suicide and the aftermath
the story is:>AAHAHDHJSIFKBKbfKLBFLKJFBDLKJBF
about an android developing romantic feelings and getting rejected by a human
>>53314103Dude. You said WAYNE COYNE doesn't know what a concept album is. That's a fucking retarded thing to say. Of course I'm gonna call you a shiposter. Like did you completely forget what you said?
>>53314445and I actually gave further explanation why I think so, or did you completely forget what I said
>>53314519Yea I saw you call him an ignorant kind of guy, but it sounds like you're just speculating without knowing anything about him. he's really a very informed and talented musician with an extensive record collection and musical knowledge. Watch one interview with him and you'll retract your statement
Fuck I love this album
>>53314597fucking finally.Was it really that difficult making full statements expressing your actual opinion instead of just bringing defensive reflexes up? btw I'll check some stuff out
>This is the story of three Texas boys
>>53311190There's a pretty new genre called opera, it's named after rock opera, it like specializes in stories.
>>53311306You beat me to it! I'm listening right now. It's very interesting and well done.
Not Sgt. Pepper
>>53312266This album is really really good
>>53314619my gf cheated on me not too long ago. Now im listening to this shit :c
Fairly obvious yes, but brilliant record none the less.
L.A. makes people lonely: The Album.
>>53316142I tried listening to this a while back and turned it off a couple tracks in. finally listened to it all the way through like a week ago. no brakes on the feel train
