[LaLaLand]

Anything by Janelle Monae.

And of course, probably the OG and BEST concept album:

How are they concept albums :suspect:

I mean the first two definitely are - they're both albums collectively about a character or universe. Blurryface is is album about the character of blurryface, Trench is album literally about a whole new universe they've created.

Save Rock and Roll not so much, unless you refer back to the 'film' that was made using all the songs.

[Morgan.]

Please no

Okay thanks for your input?

Why has nobody said ARTPOP

[TomC]

Okay thanks for your input?

any time

Why has nobody said ARTPOP

hmm is it a concept album? it’s certainly cohesive but I can’t think of a strong concept apart from ‘artpop’ which Is kinda arbitrary

Great album but it's not really a concept is it?

I’ve always thought of it as like a concept, and Wikipedia recognises it as a concept album so :shrug:

Idk I just didn't think the songs really linked together to create a cohesive story - but that's just me

A reverse warholian expedition where pop sucks the tits of art!

I gave Erotica another spin this morning and it’s a concept album if I ever heard one! It’s an album where the sum is definitely much greater than the parts. Played from beginning to end it’s just a wonderful exploration of inversions of gender and sex, as well as attitudes to sex following AIDS. The way the album is so cold and detached whilst hard-hitting is honestly haunting. Those bass lines, and the soulful beats that run through the album ugh. Someone said every young gay should give Erotica a spin. I totally agree; it’s almost an historical artefact from 90s pop culture.

i literally don't know a better album
