    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.

I'm not a content creator myself, but I do appreciate the high production values. The script is tight, the editing so good it's usually invisible, the animation is both original and expressive, and you choose topics where you have a lot of experience, definite opinions, and a lot to say. Sorry if I'm gushing, but this really did leave me stunned by how good it is. Oh, and your voice is fantastic as well.

    This is the kind of video that makes me want to get into music. It’s so addictive to hear someone talk on end about some hint they’re clearly passionate about.
    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.

    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
    Honorable mentions to Symphony X's Paradise Lost, Angra's Temple of Shadows and Holy Land, and Devin Townsend's Ziltoid albums

Both some of the best rock albums I've listened to, with some interesting themes and ideas relating to authoritarianism, industrialisation, and what it means to be a hero. Deltron 3030 is another good one, with all the songs being set in a dystopian scifi future.

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.

    if you like tally hall and concept albums i’d recommend hawaii part ii, the only album from tally hall-adjacent project miracle musical. it’s very abstract but most people agree that there’s an overarching plot connecting the songs, though most interpretations are complicated by the constant allusions to 9/11. also it’s really really good music

      good news: he already knows about it! he said that yes, there is a concept... whatever it is but it's there

      It's very likely it's at least in one view, a sailor and other lost souls trapped in a siren song and or a lotus flower situation. 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.

      @@Foxlum my personal interpretation is twofold:
      1. it’s the thoughts of one of the twin towers as it collapses on 9/11
      2. it’s the second part of a trip to hawaii that began in the 90s
      this is based on what joe hawley has said about the album since its release, but the album is so abstract that loads of interpretations are feasible

      funny, i always associated it with pearl harbor. i guess that's 9/11's grandfather, so it checks out

    This is by far, one of your most masterful videos yet. Your form of mixed media is entrancing and your script is witty and smart. Everything is so intricately crafted and I can imagine the countless times you've returned to this video to refine and make sure every frame of the video is worthwhile; so much so that it seemed to pass in seconds rather than 10mins. Great work and I'm glad to support your channel for all these years.
    My unsolicited criticism has already been addressed by you is the pacing. You're suffering from success in that everything is so well done that everything is battling for my attention. Its a real shame youtube doesn't allow you to share song clips because I think that would have been the best and easy way to give to give the view the time to digest every phrase and visual eye-candy. Maybe a patreon exclusive?

      I've thought about making an edit with more center-stage clips of the songs mentioned, i'll give it some genuine thought about rendering out just exclusive for non-youtube uploads.

    Funke, I’ve been around for the gaming related videos as of late, and its how I discovered you. But between you’re incredibly stylistic and relaxing video style, and your soothing voice, I stuck around. And I gotta be honest, i’m glad I did.
