Depending on the genre, the quality of the concept, and the popularity of the artists, it could either be a raging success or a horrible failure. Even still, sometimes the concept album approach doesn't work if the songs are still picked apart and played separately. <br /><br />For example (and to reference what Stephanie mentioned), I have heard of Coheed and Cambria and I've heard some of their songs... but I was not aware their albums were all concept albums with a unified science fiction storyline! I've only ever heard the songs out of context. If I had heard the songs in their rightful context, I probably would have appreciated them more the first time I heard them.Zoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11055615952142153705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591371683268132492.post-80153155820548116152011-04-12T23:39:39.099-05:002011-04-12T23:39:39.099-05:00Are you familiar with the band Coheed and Cambria?...Are you familiar with the band Coheed and Cambria?<br /> <br />All of Coheed and Cambria's albums are concept albums that reveal a science fiction storyline: The Army Wars. It is a story written by the lead singer Claudio Sanchez.<br /> <br />The band has released five studio albums. In 2008, Coheed and Cambria held a four-day concert series, Neverender, during which they played their first four studio albums in succession. <br /><br />Interesting stuff!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00330073229454816784noreply@blogger.com
