Tidenes konseptalbum - Noen forslag?

[haarod]

Pink Floyd

[zeuhl]

Mekanik Destruktïw Kommandöh er tidenes konseptalbum uten tvil!!!!!!

 

Skapt av Magma!!!!!!

[Deadringer]

Jeg er skremt over at "Ulver - Bergtatt" ikke er nevnt her. Det er nesten kvalmende. Men nå er det nevnt, og i mine øyne det beste konseptalbumet noen gang, etter Seventh son.

[:utakt]

Pain of Salvation kan dette. Både "The Perfect Element" og "Remedy Lane" er perler der alt flyter sammen i en fantastisk helhet.

 

Ser at "Be" også er nevnt. Godt gjennomarbeidet konsept, bare synd musikken er El Stinko.

 

Men, oh, what's the use..alle bare nevner favorittartistene sine likevel. "<insert random band> er best!!!111"

[Joachricar]

Ingen har nevnt Porcupine Tree - In Absentia ser jeg.

Concept

 

Though never announced as such by the members of the band, many consider In Absentia to be a concept album. It is said to be an investigation of the causes of insanity and serial killing told through the story of man from childhood through marriage, as many of the songs can demonstrate.

 

Steven Wilson is always tight-lipped about the meanings of his lyrics largely because (especially on this album) they are loose and open to interpretation. He has said that he means for the lyrics not only to be understood as part of the album's concept (serial killers, rapists, child abusers and other "deviants") but also subjectively, according to what the listener brings and assumes about them. For example, the song "Gravity Eyelids" has lyrics which seem to suggest connection to the album's concept, but Steven Wilson has also noted that it was written about an "evening by the Dead Sea." The erotic feel of the lyrics also lend themselves to interpretation as a love song.

 

Aside from The Sound of Muzak, which is clearly a criticism of the modern music industry, and Wedding Nails, an instrumental, all of the songs have lyrics that can be linked to the theme. Some seem vague and hard to connect: Trains, which Wilson explained as being an evocation of his memories of childhood summers, includes the lyric "you're tying me up", which shares a theme with a line from The Creator Had A Master Tape, a song more clearly about an abusive family relationship.

 

In general, the first songs of the album seem lighter and less or more vaguely connected to the concept, as well as being musically lighter and more cheerful. With the eerie .3, the album transitions into its darker second section, which contains the songs Creator Had a Master Tape and Strip the Soul, which deal more explicitly with a family marred by abuse and murder. One fan reported on the official Porcupine Tree forum that Steven Wilson mentioned the killer Fred West as a notable influence on the album. West had a large family whom he abused physically and sexually, while he and his wife lured many victims to their home to be murdered and often buried in the garden or bricked into the walls of the ever-changing house; this theme appears many times throughout the album. A fan on an unofficial Porcupine Tree forum speculated in this post (http://www.porcupinetreeforum.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1110071130/89#89) that another serial killer, Harold Shipman, may have been the basis for the song "Lips of Ashes." This song evokes imagery of veins, needles, penetration or injection, and the death of a victim being observed by the killer. Shipman was a doctor who murdered patients with overdoses of injected drugs.

 

However, the meanings of the songs as Steven Wilson meant them are intentionally left open and are fair game for speculation. They are meant to have different meanings and significance to each listener, so an absolute statement about the origin or meaning of one song would be impossible to make.

 

liker dette albumet.

Tool-10 000 days.

Mew-And the glass handed kites

King Crimson-Power to believe

Tom Waits- Alice

[Gjest Slettet-W15cjW]

Jeg er veldig med på Sgt. Peppers og Thick As A Brick

[justanotherstar]

Jeg ser Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge allerede er nevnt. Så da får jeg nevne:

 

My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade

[Pasient]

Et konseptalbum er et album hvor sangene på albumet (og gjerne også rekkefølgen) har en sammenheng, som f.eks gjennom at de sammen forteller en historie, beskriver en stemning/følelse eller tar for seg et spesifikt tema.

 

Ps. Har ingen nevnt Sgt. Pepper?

Isåfall:

 

Kaizers Orchestra - Ompa Til Du Dør

Kaizers Orchestra - Evig Pint

 

Geniale album, og alle sangene henger sammen for og fortelle en historie. Kanskje ikke så "tøft" som Pink Floyd osv, men etter den beskrivelsen jeg fikk, synes jeg Kaizers passer godt inn.

[nest0r]

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Pictures at an Exhibition

 

Her er jo i hvert fall veldig mange låter hentet i fra suiten komponert av Mussorgsky, kan vel av den grunn passe under her.

[fbassbassbass]

Jeg tror det nye DImmu Borgir albumet "In Sorte Diaboli" vil bli det beste konsept albumet som har kommet

 

The main character is living in the dark medieval times and he feels the necessity to find god, and the more he explores and searches for answers and proof that god exists, the more he finds himself finding the opposite to be true. Then people start to believe that he is in league with the devil and perhaps even the devil himself. So, I’m writing the lyrics from that idea. It’s not like I have an answer to the story or anything; I want to leave that open. It’s fair to say that the plot is that you won’t find answers about the mysteries of life through religious beliefs. If you find an answer at all you will find it inside yourself.

Sikker på at Glass Handed er et konseptalbum? Jeg synes det handler om hummer og kanari, selv om sangene henger sammen. Jeg har ikke gått så mye gjennom meningen, dog.

 

Også vil jeg tro at Sigur Rós' ( ) kan være et konseptalbum. Dette er jo kanskje det albumet i popkulturen som er mest åpen for egne tolkninger.

 

Så nevner jeg Pink Floyds Animals, for musikken i konseptalbumet, og The Mars Voltas De-Loused in the Comatorium, for konseptet.

[Katabombos]

The Mars Volta - Frances The Mute

[Caress_the_Pale]

Mye bra som er nevnt her.

 

Er igrunnen svak for Grand Declation of War (og WLA siden den er del 1) av Mayhem.

[Gjest]

Hva med Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. Det er min IM favoritt ihvertfall, men har ikke hørt så mange Konseptalbum, så jeg kanikke si så mye. Thirck as a Brick med Jethro Tull digger jeg, og Dark side of the Moon er jo også dritbra da

Er enig med de som har foreslått 'Frances The Mute'. Selv om De-Loused er et bedre album, så virker FTM bedre som et konseptalbum.

[PatSharpX]

Mye bra her!

Leste ikke gjennom hele tråden, men det jeg så var ikke Roger Waters - In the Flesh nevnt. Det syns jeg er det kjempe bra album/en kjempe bra dvd.

[Mushaboom]

Sufjan Stevens - Illinoise

 

Meget bra konsept-album.

[Anathema]

Oops, dobbelpost! :/
