    I'm seeing a few people get lost at the video's condensed pacing, so if you're still confused just keep in mind every album I talk about picks a central theme/concept and then frames a bunch of songs around them. The video is me spitfiring all the different albums under that definition that I really enjoy.
    And my apologies if it's hard to follow at times, I didn't want to bore you with the details but I also wanted to pick specific parts of each album to highlight.

    My favorite “one long song” is Since I Left You by The Avalanches. It was originally planned to have a more cohesive narrative, but that was scrapped eventually. However, echoes of it still remain throughout the album, giving it a dreamlike feeling bouncing between lucidity and free form thought association.

    One of my favourite concept albums is "Time" by Electric Light Orchestra, listening to it from start to finish is a great experience. Some of Jeff Lynne's best tunes imo with a fun narrative - a man from the 80's being transported to the year 2095. You mentioned it in passing, but absolutely worth a listen for anyone who hasn't yet.

    Surprised that Nine Inch Nails’ The Downward Spiral didn’t make an appearance. Themes of self-hatred, desperation, substance abuse, and similar subjects aren’t at all uncommon in music, but the way The Downward Spiral handles that narrative is unparalleled and makes for one of the most sobering musical experiences out there. It’s sequel, The Fragile, is also just as good, and serves as an arguably darker continuation of that narrative. Phenomenal albums, couldn’t recommend more.

    It's not every day I get to hear someone talk about Tally Hall, Blind Guardian and Jethro Tull in one video. Hell I consider it a treat to hear any one of them come up in conversation. Of Montreal's "concept album" was news to me too!
    Some personal reommendations for anyone who cares:
    Kamelot's Epica and The Black Halo are a retelling of Goethe's Faust
    Virgin Steele's House of Atreus is an adaptation of the Orestia
    Insomnium's Winter's Gate and Jethro Tull's Passion Play are more albums that are one long song
    The Art of Noise's the Seduction of Claude Debussy mixes
    impressionism, old school hip hop, and opera among others
    Gloryhammer's whole discography is a parody of Apex-style albums that tells its own story
    Sabaton's Carolus Rex tells the story of the Swedish Empire's rise and fall
    The Dolls of New Albion is a steampunk morality play about learning to love selflessly told over 4 generations
    Avantasia's work is just about all concept albums but I find the stories can be difficult to follow, same with Blind Guardian's original story concept albums. They do an excellent job of alluding to existing works but it feels like they continue to allude to a story that doesn't exist anywhere else
    Ayreon is a little better in that regard imo, The Human Equation and 01011001 being good examples
    If you really like prog and want lots of it, The Decameron: Ten Days in 100 Novellas is a massive 3-album collaboration with 100 tracks

      it was a very out-of-body experience to randomly watch a 800k subscribers ex-tf2 youtuber just absolutely splurge for a whole video about avant-garde music and dropping tons of prog metal/rock and jazz fusion references, but given he was always very musically inclined i think it's just a natural *prog*ression he'd eventually engage with this type of music.

    0:56 this transition right here blew my mind. The way the hand gestures initially is displayed as a normal mannerism before being recontextualized as it holds the images being transitioned into, which gives a paprika esk feeling of reality wrapping, as the TV in the background is held by the hand in the foreground. It is posed as though you are presenting the explanation physically. I like the subtlety of it. I was not even aware my mind was blown before a good second when I actually held a thought of awe. You are an incredible artist and I wish to reach those heights, which you have shown me someday.

Or in another a single person, named Simon (one of the demo's for the mind electric mention it) living though his own thoughts in a fragmented mind. Or really the simplest one, 9/11. though this really can only apply so much to the entire album in my opinion. It itself is a fragment of ideas that converge around each other into a concept itself, and you're going to believe whatever hits you the strongest.

    Also, I can’t help but feel like the “cheesy script jar” bit is kind of a commentary on how it’s okay for songs and lyrics and things in general to be cheesy, based on how your character goes from denying your script is cheesy to being angry at it for being cheesy to purposefully going to admit the script is cheesy. Maybe I’m just looking too much into it.

    Would Everywhere At The End Of Time count as a series of concept albums because each stage was released one by one, or would it count as just one large concept album because you can buy the full thing on bandcamp now?

      It's definitely a series of concept records. It's so much a concept it barely makes sense without it.
