Concept Albums (That I Like)

"You are the subject of sketches I made for a sculpture in sound." -TOTC
I don't really use instagram or tiktok, but my accounts are @thatfunkedude there.

Here's a Spotify playlist of my favorite songs from the albums mentioned:

...Here's a Youtube playlist instead too.

Instrumentation is by me even though this video will probably get hit anyways haha. i'm laughing.
(except for banana man, and the windwaker song played during the dream segment)

[IronPineapple]

This is incredible, you’re honestly too good

[ShrekIsGod]

I agree, Funke, “Sorry for Party Rocking” by LMFAO is the greatest concept album ever made!

[FUNKe]

I'm seeing a few people get lost at the video's condensed pacing, so if you're still confused just keep in mind every album I talk about picks a central theme/concept and then frames a bunch of songs around them. The video is me spitfiring all the different albums under that definition that I really enjoy.

And my apologies if it's hard to follow at times, I didn't want to bore you with the details but I also wanted to pick specific parts of each album to highlight.

7:31 "The Sun Wasn't A Metaphor, It Was Just The Sun" would make a great concept album title

[Coupi]

the cinematography in this one is next level

[Cyranek]

Impeccable presentation, timing and animation. Just too good. Listening to black foliage now.

[CoreyLaddo]

One of my favourite concept albums is "Time" by Electric Light Orchestra, listening to it from start to finish is a great experience. Some of Jeff Lynne's best tunes imo with a fun narrative - a man from the 80's being transported to the year 2095. You mentioned it in passing, but absolutely worth a listen for anyone who hasn't yet.

this is one of the best youtube videos i’ve ever seen. time to watch all of your videos.

[SonicHaXD]

This is like TV quality content. Love every second of it XD

[rigsmig]

The animation and the editing makes this video so much better from any commentary channel

[bonsai]

Production quality is absolutely world class. The sound production is also incredible.

[Xaero]

The synth playing animation in the beginning is almost 100% musically accurate! That's some dedication I must admit👍

[yakkocmn]

incredible stuff as always! now i gotta watch it 20 more times to find all the little details

[Huggbees]

The greatest one lone song album of all time is Art of Life by X Japan and I will stand by that assertion.

[Bakers]

FUNKe is a concept album that de-evolved into a YouTuber and we love him for it.

[justanotherschmuck]

I'm so starved for tally hall recognition that I will flip the fuck out when Marvin's is referenced for like 3 seconds

[Vailskibum]

My day is better when a FUNKe video randomly drops in my sub feed

[ieatatsonic]

My favorite “one long song” is Since I Left You by The Avalanches. It was originally planned to have a more cohesive narrative, but that was scrapped eventually. However, echoes of it still remain throughout the album, giving it a dreamlike feeling bouncing between lucidity and free form thought association.

[runformyfreedom]

Never would’ve guessed that the funny guy I started watching for his tf2 videos would’ve made one of the best videos about music I’ve ever seen. You’ve come a long way Funke, from scripting to animating, this video is immaculate, thank you.

[Eishous]

It always baffles me how much effort you put into everything. Even the smalles side gags are well animated. Just like a good album its so dense you have watch it multiple times to appreciate how much thought went into it. It makes me want to double down on my stuff as well!
