I don't know if you've heard the new Trans Am album, but it may be among my top 5 albums ever right now. For them to go from a silly party record to a relevant and political record like that shows that they are the kings of concept albums. Even if one of the new songs totally sounds like the Cure. But whatever.
Your favorite concept album? If you say Tommy, I might have to call you a jerk. But please suggest your faves.

Yeah, I guess Bowie would win here. What the hell am I thinking?

that Sleep LP is crazyness!
i heard they blew half the recording budget on weed and the other half recording a 60 min long song, and immediately got dropped from the label

yeah, that's pretty much it. they turned in a 1 hour long song to london and refused to change it, they broke up instead. that's inspiration.
