david said:Was Pet Sounds the first ever concept album?
duh i can't believe i never equated that album as being a concept album. then again, i don't really grasp the definition of concept album. but i love LOVE this album. it's quite possibly my favourite sting album. all of his stuff is so great it's really hard to pinpoint the best.scatteroflight said:Two of my favourite concept albums are Sting's The Soul Cages--possibly my favourite album by anyone

that being said, could ...nothing like the sun be a concept album too? i know the whole thing is about relationships with women: mothers and significant others. i shall go listen to it now. those two sting albums are definitely my favourites, though. can't wait till he comes out with his new one!
true. i never thought it of it that way really!scatteroflight said:And there are things like the "And he dreamed of a ship on the sea, it would carry his father and he..." bit first appearing in Island of Souls and then again in The Soul Cages, and the pipes at the very start of the album recur at the end of The Wild Wild Sea. It's funny, but I don't listen to The Soul Cages all that often. It's just that when I do, I inevitably listen to it start to finish, and it's always an incredibly moving experience. I think it's even more specialy because I do it only sometimes.

The best Floyd album is The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. And you have neither mentioned it. But you quote shit like all the Floyd albums after Rogers departure? Come on. They are a pile of shit. Admit it. Without fantasy. Old half baked reciepts, no messages... awful, really awful. Delicate Sound of Thunder still makes me vomit when I listen to it. Shine on played without one percent of the original feeling - congrats.

i said my part about Piper in " boy : best debut album " thread
and piper is not fully concept album , it's great , Syd's album . Gilmour is a good musician , we must look at the Waters-Gilmour conflict deeper , we can easily find over 50 reasons for each side , pointless discussion , Final Cut is a Waters record , Momentary Lapse of The A reason is a Gilmour record . etc etc

I think it is generally said to be so, although some have said it was Sgt. Pepper. But I've never felt that Sgt. Pepper was a true concept album.
