Just discovered The Dear Hunter on Last Fm. They're writing a conceptual rock opera that currently has 3 acts, each album being an act. It is amazing. So much instrumentation, so many rich harmonies, and so prog. If you take a listen, I highly recommend you start with Act I and go from the beginning. I've spent the past week getting used to Act I and just got a hold of Act II. If I like them enough I will purchasing all 3 Acts. Edit: Also, with the Act III deluxe edition is an art book and illustrations for Act II. Love it. Edited by Palmer, Feb 14 2010, 09:41 PM.

He realized that the stuff he was writing didn't fit with the [gay] genre of the band so he broke off. I like this much better. Edit: Hm. Act II is pretty bland in the middle. Nothing very memorable. Liked Act I better. But an interview with the band said that they spent too much time dicking around in Act II, and Act III is much more to the point.* This is assuming anyone cares Edited by Palmer*, Feb 15 2010, 01:45 PM.

I just don't get anything out of it. Yeah, it's not for everyone. I'm just really into conceptual stuff like that. Reminds me of Dream Theater's Scenes from a Memory Part 2. Also, they employ such a variety of instruments. That's probably what I love the most. There's hidden brass and strings everywhere.

Reminds me of Dream Theater's Scenes from a Memory Part 2. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I dislike the concept. Hell, one of my favorite albums of all time is a concept album. Actually, I imagine that if I listened to this in the right mood, I might really like it. I'm just not in that mood right now.

I'm going to ask them if the art book was limited edition. Then I'm going to make my own illustrations for them and get rich. Right?
