In popular music, a concept album is an album that is "unified by a theme, which can be instrumental, compositional, narrative, or lyrical".

The page goes on to cite a lot of more non-traditional "concept album" systems which don't necessarily need a progressive narrative thread. It doesn't have to be Operation Mindcrime or Ziltoid The Omniscient to be a concept album. Sometimes it's like Infinity.

what nin album has no concept? i can only think of the slip
phm has a simple concept: "life sucks, let's dance!"

Then he's a conceptual kind of guy.

Now, The Offspring's Smash? No real concept there that pervades each of the individual songs. Just a bunch of tunes that sound similar.

It's more "life sucks, you're a bitch, let's dance and then cry a bit"

Actually, that sounds like ecstasy.

Isn't The Slip's concept about relevance (or fear of a lack of relevance, more specfically) and aging? I think Trent discussed it (very) briefly in a couple of recent interviews, and listening to the lyrics it's what struck me immediately. Or would that be more of a theme?

this kind of concept was present long before The slip, you can feel it in The fragile easily. i think it's not "fear of a lack of relevance" but "fear of a lack of driving factors other than lack of relevance". see how movies became a safety belt for Reznor?

I see your point. I just saw it become clearer in The Slip, but you're right about it being present from before The Slip was released. Also, I'm pretty glad that he's found a safe belt with film scores. So excited for the Dragon Tattoo score. smiling smiley

This song would be rather difficult to pull off live.

Trent hasn't played it live in many years, and, seeing that he no longer likes the song, it's unlikely he'll ever play the song live again (if he ever plays live again, that is...).

I came out to one of my friends with this song, haha.

I love this song. "I'm not sure of what I should do"

I prefer the Purest Feeling version, but I like the Pretty Hate Machine version too.

I really like this song!
I like all of the songs off of PHM, honestly.

PHM is my second favorite album and I love every song on it. I like the sound of quite a bit.

I can relate to this song more than I would like to, unfortunately.

always been a mystery to me - what he kinda wants to?

I always thought it was another song about fucking.

This made me laugh. As I did/do too. smiling smiley

I enjoy the song. I'm not really sure why some people don't like it and frankly, I really don't care! I like it and that's what matters to me.

ETA: Wow, I already responded to this thread. I feel like a douche. Haha

I gotta disagree, not a deep concept, but an important one... women, cars and growing up.

As for kinda I want to, fucking, drugs and being different in general. Just my two centssmiling smiley
