It's like a regular album, but with more pretension*. *theme Like the Beatles' Abbey Road (I think..) and David Crowder's A Collision, if you're into him. |

I didn't know A Collision was a concept album. I haven't looked at it very closely though. _________________ Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth. Oscar Wilde |

Abbey Road is not a concept album. You may be thinking about how the second side of the album forms a 'suite' of sort where one song flows immediately into the next with out a gap. Thematically the songs have nothing to do with one another - they just 'threw' some song fragments together. Pink Floyd's The Wall is an example. basically all the songs are tied together thematically and tell a story of sorts. _________________ I am Torgo.

yeah it doesnt really have to tella story. the beatles sgt peppers was a concept album, the concept being that the beatles were not 'playing" the songs, but sgt peppers lonely hearts club band was. any floyd album from dark side to the final cut (i suppose momentary lapse and division bell) are concept albums. just an album based on a theme, doesnt have to tell a story. though most do. _________________ Wil's excellent description of me. wilsmith wrote: You're the Anti-Censorship+Topless Twitpic Parodying+Youth Group Video Directing guy that's a champion for the 1st amendment, Videogames as Art, and unrepentant file sharing...

A friend once told me his mom, who was a childhood fan during the sixties, couldn't ever listen to Pepper's all the way through because it depressed her too much! I asked him why and he said, "Just listen to the songs next time." Loneliness a definite theme throughout, although I haven't really figured out how it applies to 'Mr. Kite' - perhaps the transient nature of circus life? Keep that in mind next spin, might subtly change the experience. _________________ http://www.twitter.com/drstrangeblog http://www.last.fm/user/getinline I can't find the time to write my mind the way I want it to read. |

All I can say in regards to the lonlieness of mr kite is that happy music doesn't have to mean happy lyrics. that being said  _________________ Wil's excellent description of me. wilsmith wrote: You're the Anti-Censorship+Topless Twitpic Parodying+Youth Group Video Directing guy that's a champion for the 1st amendment, Videogames as Art, and unrepentant file sharing...

I don't think 'derailed;' discussion of a concept album is germane in this case!  _________________ Mike=] |

I think those two songs are just them saying here is the begingin and end to the show. Since they introduce Ringo on With a little help as BIlly Shears. From then on I think it is still the sgt peppers band playing. a great album, but not the best idea of a concept album. floyd, tommy, quadrophenia. stuff like that, those are definitly concept albums _________________ Wil's excellent description of me. wilsmith wrote: You're the Anti-Censorship+Topless Twitpic Parodying+Youth Group Video Directing guy that's a champion for the 1st amendment, Videogames as Art, and unrepentant file sharing...

Ah, well actually I hear that the b-side to that album was supposed to be a concept album. John and Paul disagreed and John got the 1st side and Paul got the 2nd side.. obviously Paul wanted to do a concept-style. But I think you're right, I was probably just thinking of Sgt. Peppers, not Abbey Road, my mistake. And I don't think concept albums technically have to tell a story.. But if Eisley ever made one I'm sure it would. And it'd be a fun story! Cendrillon wrote: I didn't know A Collision was a concept album. I haven't looked at it very closely though. A Collision is DEFINITELY a concept album.. One of the best IMO. David Crowder literally had a Word document with all the songs written out with the help of his pastor friend (who died tragically during their Collision tour) before ever recording anything. The intertwining theme has to do with death, redemption, suffering, and finding God in the middle of it all, I think. |
