I like to look towards roger waters/ pink floyd for concept albums such
as the wall and dark side of the moon. dark side for the music, but the
wall for a story..though it's a bit difficult to decipher the story on
the first listen. the only prob with roger waters after floyd is that
he concentrates too much on the lyrics and story that the music
sometimes suffers, but i don't think that would happen with the oils
doing it. :)
agreed, that it would be great to see them do it, but i'm almost afraid
of the pressure of such a project might cause a bit of a rift within the
band too. you almost need an egomaniac to helm the project and become
the director kinda like when david byrne became a control freak and
refused the band (talking heads) to have cups of water on stage for
their stop making sense tour.
c'est tout, (hope that makes sense..if not..guess trudeau's plan didn't
quite stick with me huh?)
