i think im starting to understand why some people don't really like this album.

though to be fair, i don't listen to music to read a story. So.

You're missing out if you've never heard Alice's Restaurant Massacree by Arlo Guthrie.

i would post something culturally relevant here, but your root instance is funny to me, so that will suffice instead :)

I don't even "hear" lyrics in songs! Is it typical for albums to have songs that tell an overall story?

[-] Neato@ttrpg.network 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Yeah. There are Rock operas which are albums that tell a unified story, but not one which is meant to be acted out like an actual opera.

The ~~Doors~~ Who album Tommy was one of the first to be billed as such. As well as most of what The Protomen and The Mechanisms have put out.

The Doors album Tommy

You mean The Who?

Now I'm imagining what Tommy performed by the Doors would sound like.

a lot of times albums will have a flow from song to song. Sometimes they just have a collection of different songs, usually a thematic album will have an overall feel to it.

Idk if common. It does happen tho.

[-] TimeNaan@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

It happens often, yes. But I wouldn't say it's "typical". Depends on what the artist wants to convey.
