I don't even "hear" lyrics in songs! Is it typical for albums to have songs that tell an overall story?
Yeah. There are Rock operas which are albums that tell a unified story, but not one which is meant to be acted out like an actual opera.
The ~~Doors~~ Who album Tommy was one of the first to be billed as such. As well as most of what The Protomen and The Mechanisms have put out.
You mean The Who?
Yeah, definitely. Thanks.
Now I'm imagining what Tommy performed by the Doors would sound like.
No, he's on first.
re: dark side of the moon
It happens often, yes. But I wouldn't say it's "typical". Depends on what the artist wants to convey.
a lot of times albums will have a flow from song to song. Sometimes they just have a collection of different songs, usually a thematic album will have an overall feel to it.
Idk if common. It does happen tho.
