Members Bunny Knutson Posted January 13, 2007 Members Share Posted January 13, 2007 I wouldn't call these "concept albums", at least not by the original definition. I never said they were. The primary point of the original question was "Recent albums you'd listen to from beginning to end." The "concept album" thing was tacked on as a secondary point. But, thanks for playing!

Members Ed A. Posted January 14, 2007 Members Share Posted January 14, 2007 I never said you said they were :D. I'm just saying that the person who started the thread seemed to be asking about concept albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NewYorkDave Posted January 14, 2007 Members Share Posted January 14, 2007 The only recent album in my collection which I can stand to listen to all the way through (in one sitting) is Ridin' The Reverb Range by Terry "Buffalo" Ware. Matter o' fact, when I'm on summer road trips, I might put the CD in and just let it loop for the duration of the trip. It's perfect music for driving to the beach. One of the nice things about the LP format was that it forced artists to edit themselves. Nowadays, we get the same 30-40 minutes of good music (if we're lucky!) and 20-30 minutes of filler. I guess that's how the record companies try to justify the jacked-up price of CDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Magpel Posted January 14, 2007 Members Share Posted January 14, 2007 I've listened twice now, fairly spellbound, to the entirety of Andrew Bird's album The Mysterious Production of Eggs. It's a little disconcerting, 'cause it sounds a bit like me if I were insanely great at what I do. But, you know, you get over that and appreciate beauty where you find it... And on a more poppy, rocky front, the Hot Hot Heat album Elevator is consistent delight beginning to end, esp. if you like quirky guitar pop heavily influenced by Black Sea-era XTC, and I do.

Members the stranger Posted January 14, 2007 Members Share Posted January 14, 2007 I'm afraid that the "album format as art form" is, if not dead at the moment, pretty close to it in this day and age of user compiled / burned CD's, iPods, iTunes, etc. _~ That's why I listen to stuff from 1969. *Charles Kynard The Soul Brotherhood/Reelin' With The Feelin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MahaAtTheVishnu Posted January 14, 2007 Members Share Posted January 14, 2007 Since 2000, there's a load. Devin Townsend, Dream Theater, Pain of Salvation, Sigur Ros, Kayo Dot, etc... Plenty of great concept albums if you know where to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UstadKhanAli Posted January 14, 2007 Members Share Posted January 14, 2007 Sigur Ros "( )" - is that considered a concept album? Whatever it is, it's one of the most beautiful, emotional CDs I've heard in a long time!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
