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.
>>48412886
too pretentious for normal genres of music
>>48412831
Cult of Luna - Eternal Kingdom
About a man who killed his wife, but blames it all on a satantic owl-man creature that took her away to the "Eternal Kingdom" and his journey to get her back. Based on the actual murder.

Would all like to disagree with you. The concept album is a fairly common form.

Mastodon's Leviathan

>Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?
>concept album
didn't even read the rest. the Georgie Fruit self indulgence and wankery does not constitute a concept album
>>48413598
Whatever you say, friend.
He's looking at all of us...
(seriously, possibly the greatest concept album, maybe after S.F Sorrow)
>>48412831
first 3 gong albums are good shit
>>48413598
>having a common theme throughout and the progression of a story in an album doesn't constitute a concept album
then what the fuck does? you're retarded
>>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
the concept is sounding like shit
>>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.
It's about a drug addict falling in love with a nun in a conspiracy to overthrow the government and then being ordered to murder her

King Diamond - Abigail
>>48413598
It's half about Georgie Fruit and half about his split up and reunion with his wife. Learn your shit.
This is great.
about the end of the world, a generic idea but a very good album
>>48412831
Have you head A Passion Play, OP? I liked that one just as much. Currently have it on vinyl.
