It's a concept about Kevin Moore. The final song on the album is titled "I'll Never Be Open Again".

Is it about how he's retired from prostitution?

A self titled concept album? Hmm... that doesn't seem to make sense in my brain.

HolyHell's self titled debut appears to be a concept album.

Infinita Symphonia's self titled second album is a concept album also, and is quite good.

I guess I'm just thinking that the concept to the album should somehow be presented with a title. But, I guess if it's not a story and just a theme of sorts that drives the album... then it would work as self-titled. So, ok, I guess that would indeed make sense.

But, having said that, I don't think it will be a concept album though.

I doubt too that it's a concept album, and I have absofuckinglutely nothing to back up that statement with.

That's ok, because neither do the people that think it will be a concept album.

I hope this new album is good and has some some instruments on it.

On second thought, maybe it doesn't need instruments?

TheLordOfTheStrings · « **Reply #4595 on:** June 17, 2013, 12:26:29 AM »

Yeah, it's gonna be a spoken word album done entirely by John Myung.

It's going to be like John Cage's 4'33", but it will go for 75 minutes.

I remember MP saying back in an interview last year that they'd discussed doing a concept album for DT11 before he left. Maybe they've resurrected the idea?

Yeah, I can understand totally that they might have abandoned the idea when they got MM as their new drummer, because I guess they just wanted to prove to the fans that they were the same band, and they didn't want to try anything unexpected or out of the ordinary with ADTOE. But, perhaps, they've chosen to do a concept album this time (unlikely because of s/t album, but we can still hope

)

Yeah, he said that the setlist of the following tour would be the 12 Step Suite and the whole new concept album. But he also wanted to take an indefinite hiatus.

Anyway, as a '70s prog buff, I'm always looking forward to concept albums, in fact, I'll be slightly disappointed if one of the next two DT studio releases doesn't end up being one.

I think if it was a concept album, we would have a title.

Are there any "self titled" concept albums out there?

Edit: I could see it having a loose concept though... but that's like almost every DT album.

Wasnt Home released as a single from Scenes?

Yes, it was, and when creating the single edit, MP not only edited it for time, but also to remove the more obvious album spoilers.

That`s what I`m talking about.

Never say never.

I have absolutely nothing to base this on, but a gut feeling just tells me it won't be a concept album. Possibly an album with a "loose theme", but I can't see DT at this point doing a full-fledged concept album. Anything is possible, though!

I am very, very excited for this album. It seemed like DT has finally struck their balance with their new setup, especially after the "BALLS BALLS BALLS" idea that was brought to the forefront in their last couple of albums before MP's departure.
