Blackwater Park and Ghost Reveries are concept albums about how much they hate stupid fans that think every album they make is a concept album.

This thread is getting sillier by the post... so I'll contribute

Opeth's My Arms, Your Hearse and Still Life are both concept albums. For the stories, look on the FAQ. Ghost Reveries was originally intended to be a concept album, but Mike wrote Isolation Years and that screwed the concept. Again, all on the FAQ.

How dare you disrupt the flow of silliness of this thread?

 

[metal_wrath]

Concerning Ghost Reveries, it was concepted as being a Concept album but with the contribution of Isolation Years, the concept could be conceived as being contrived containing the content. Got it?

I'm so sorry... I hope this helps contribute towards this threads already sterling silliness:

I think the problem is defining what a concept album is. SL and MAYH are both almost beyond concept, because their is plot development. Ghost Reveries I would call a concept, because it's a collection of works that share a common particular theme. Compared to an album like Deliverence, it much more conceptual.

^no wonder your name is "random" and what's with the man taking a shit behind the bushes on your sig?

 

[biggsy]

My one desire, my only wish... to take a shit without some bastard putting me in his goddamn sig

At least I tried to answer the dude's question.

Only joking mate... just a lighthearted stab. I think you're right though... I always think of a concept album being a story, though I know it's any album where all the songs contribute towards a common theme as well.
