lowkey GOAT concept album right here

Are there instrumental concept albums, or concept albums for people that don't care for lyrics? probably not since just the idea of a concept album seems to appeal to lyric listeners, but I dunno

I'm not sure if it's a concept album, but Miles Davis' 'Kind of Blue' has reoccurring melodies in the songs. Great cohesive album.

>>64335883

No. It does not have similar melodies. It's 5 standards that are all in different keys and modes. Nothing repeats between songs. Clear lack of basic jazz knowledge ur displaying.

>>64335834
Because of the time signatures, right? Or is there some deeper thematic significance I never noticed?
I love this album, but I've never thought to consider it a concept album.

A lot of Leyland Kirby's stuff is conceptual, especially An Empty Bliss Beyond this World. The source of the samples and the way they're manipulated all convey a really specific theme.

Also, Sleep Research Facility has a few albums which convey a specific setting or atmosphere. The Antarctica one and Nostromo especially.

Also, Robert Rich's Somnium is all about sleep and sleep cycles.

Sorry, the only ones I can think of are ambient.

Hadestown(super freaking underrated around /mu/)
La Vida Boheme-Sera
The College Dropout by Kanye
Illinois and Carrie and Lowell by Sufjan stevens(I believe Age of Adz was explicitly said not to be be a concept album)
TPAB and GKMC
Lupe Fiasco's The Cool

Not a concept album, unless you really want to push it

>>64335883
"No"
You don't know jack shit about jazz do you?

There are classical music pieces that could be considered a concept album, such as Vivaldi's 4 seasons

Maybe Thomas Dolby's "Golden Age of Wireless," a sort of concept album about the early radio era.

Some of those songs (like "Airwaves" or "Cloudburst at Shingle Street") are classics:

Not my absolute favourite concept album but it's a good one that tends to be overlooked imo

Invisible Cinema by Aaron parks

Also, it's called a tone poem usually, though I would call IC a concept album

>>64336566
Not him, but probably he's mad because you're referring to a suite written before the album was a popular format

>>64335849

Trippy and kinda dark. Some may say pretentious, but I enjoy the head-space this album puts you in.
