  • Reply with quote
Alright, there's a lot of projects I want to make but for all I know, there may be things like it out there already. Here's where to share dream album concepts that maybe you haven't stumbled upon yet.

10 3-minute-long tracks, all of which have the same first 10 seconds and last 10 seconds. Played on shuffle or repeat, there's no end nor order.

A rap album like I AM JUST A RAPPER by Gambino, except instead of rapping over your favorite indie music, freestyling over existing post-rock.

(This one kind of exists stylistically but not lyrically): An album of that somewhat common post-hardcore sound of whispered verses and yelled/screamed chorus and/or 1 track of whispering under 1 track of yelling, written from the perspective of a person struggling and slowly slipping deeper into paranoid schizophrenia.

An album of post-rock with the texts/IMs/emails/fb messages/equivalent of an actual couple that broke up from before, during, and after the relationship being read just outside the room, with only some of it audible.

An album that sounds entirely the same played forwards or backwards.

A normal album by any band that wants to make it which is broadcast once normally and fully on a radio station, and is recorded from a car driving through, adding whatever static and road sounds would occur.

An ambient album which carries a variety of shofar notes underneath it the entire album.

If any of these actually exist, please let me know. In 5 years, I'll bet you Flaming Lips will have tried at least 2 of them. If anyone wants to make these, feel free to steal the idea* and I'd love to help any one of those come to fruition.

*not the first one I'm doing that

Anyone else have dream concept albums?

I so want to try freestying over Do Make Say Think... These are great. I definitely have had a few ideas like this in the past that I will try to remember... Brandon and I do have one solid-gold concept for an album but that's currently on the dl

Ooooooooh

an album of a day working on a spaceship or normal job (going to work, transit, wake up, being fired)

an album that the intro is the third song and there is two intros (each one of them being singles)

An album with a cover that is not a photo but a gif (well l......future is coming in the store)

An ambient album about going to a dark abandoned house that come with special glasses to you see the adventure......oooh it looks so real

an album for dogs made by dogs (guitars previously tuned)

an album that can only be played with a "rock band" guitar in the tv, also you can interact woth the band members (but don't break the guitar on them)

you know that song in pink flag that only last 28 seconds..... we shoud do an album of 51 songs lasting exactly 28 seconds, and some 8 secpnds


An album that the guitar starts to play in the first song and only stops in the last song, this will need transitions, it doesn't stop, but I can change progressions


an album (in the style of dsotm) played in random order like the transitions break one over other

an album made by every voice of regulars singing "we blame ben" featuring the best users......wait it's not an album



good Idea for a song anyway

I like this one. 10 seconds might be too long though, that would make 11% of the album (more than a song's worth in this case) repeated.

No offense but this one sounds kinda pretentious 8-

I've always wanted to write and record an entire album while upside-down.

An album where each song has different instruments. No instrument is ever used twice throughout the whole thing.
