Re: Concept albums
Aren't Coheed doing 5 albums all part of the same story? Pretty intense...DaNextSlash wrote:Nostradamus by Priest is the one that comes to mind for me. Also, Coheed's albums and Mastodon's.
RUSH have had a few, and if you listen to them you'll discover where Dream Theater got so many of their ideas, riffs... drum tone.. *runs for cover*
Mars Volta - Deloused in the comatorium is great. Really like The Wall and DSOTM
Re: Concept albums
If memory serves, weren't there rumours (back in 'the day') of that one being made into a movie, with ever-since rumour of masses of footage lying around somewhere. (I've seen the footage for "The Hare....(etc)", but that's the only bit I'm aware of being shot.)ash wrote:Jethro Tull - A Passion Play.
I have these two great stories that I always thought would make great movies, but since I know nothing about movies, I'm thinking that they would make great concept albums. I'll get around to it one day...

And Mars Volta's 'Frances the Mute' is a concept album too I think.
Pretty sure all of TMV's albums are concepts, I know the first 3 definitely were.
And +infinity to the Empyrean

Something like that. They did a tour playing just that album as a kind of stage show with The Hare film played as an intermission.RUDENBARK wrote:If memory serves, weren't there rumours (back in 'the day') of that one being made into a movie, with ever-since rumour of masses of footage lying around somewhere.

Re: Concept albums
Just realised the coincidence.
Got some songs (and further song ideas) that just happen to have similar themes running through them. I've been thinking I might try and arrange them into an EP-length "concept album", with fancy cover etc to boot (sort of telling a story).
Yep, blame JT for that idea, lol.

Re: Concept albums
I wrote one once.
It was recorded live, the only time we ever played it the whole way through.
It has some mistakes in it.
It is also a silent movie soundtrack.
It's sitting on my hard drive waiting for my website to get fixed so I can send out copies to people on the mailing list.
Michelle says it's really a rock opera.
