Concept Albums

Neutral Milk Hotel's In The Aeroplane Over The Sea's music is one that evokes conceptual tones.

Basically all prog rock.
It's really rare outside of that.

too pretentious for normal genres of music

>>48413622
He just doesn't want to acknowledge it's a concept album because he doesn't like it.
Hell, I don't like half the albums I posted, but they are all definitely concept albums.

>>48413164
Damn I'm loving this shit

>>48413644
No, I enjoy it and other of montreal, but I worded it badly. The so called transformation into georgie fruit on "the past" is very vague, to me it's too ambiguous to be a clear cut concept album

>>48413858
Is ITCOTCK's concept too vague for you? Because as concepts go, that one is pretty vague.

The concept is about Kanye West's life and relationship with the media.
