Favorite Concept Album(s)
Elysiana:
That's fair :D
David_Dovey:
I never would've had In Absentia pegged as a concept either. Especially interesting because everything they've made since then has been overtly conceptual.
KharBevNor:
What do we define as a concept album though?
Does it have to tell a story or can it just be something where all the songs explore similiar lyrical or musical themes?
Elysiana:
I usually see concept albums only as being epic - telling a story that arcs over the entire album - because really don't MOST albums explore similar lyrical/musical themes, whether consciously or not?
In Absentia does both, but David Dovey is right, usually that's not the one people bring up when they list Porcupine Tree's concept albums. It just happens to be the one I like best heh. Fear of a Blank Planet is a close second.
Vulcan:
I was forced to make this thread the site of my first post, for fear someone would mention my personal favorite concept album before me.
Between the Buried and Me - Colors.
That is all.
