myturn2drive Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Ged says they took great care to make sure that, even though it is a concept album, the songs can also stand on their own individually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Dudad Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) Quick Hits so far (please correct anything I got wrong)... - Award in Canada last week was nice...lots of food and booze - Liked the children's choir rendition of The Spirit of Radio - Seemed ambivalent about RRHOF (even though it wasn't mentioned by name)...artists appreciate the recognition, but... - Thinks the young Japanese girl that plays YYZ solo on a piano/synth is amazing - CA is definitely a concept album built around a central story, but the 12 (yes 12, not 14) songs are specifically designed to stand alone...no recurring musical themes/passages a la 2112 or Hemispheres. - Basic story is a young boy/man with a naive "the world is a good place" view of the world who ventures out into that world. Reality is different and how his naive world view evolves in the face of that reality is a central concept. - Prog is a confusing epithet..to them it basically means "that we overreach". - Complex music akin to the complex machinery of a steampunk world. I'm sure I missed a bunch and got much of the above wrong... Edited May 10, 2012 by The Mighty Dudad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yes. In a sense, most Rush albums have a lyrical theme of some kind (TFE is all about communication, PoW is about power, etc). But...when I think Concept Album, I'm thinking something like 'Operation: Mindcrime' from Queensryche. Just my opinion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
