You do realize that an album such as the wall is based around one charcter losing his mind as his various phobias and life experience growing up in britian registers, it's not just random tunes and has nothing to do with cover art, don't you?
Claiming what I wrote referred to slick packaging only tells people you had no idea what those floyd albums are and represent.
It's not a knock on Led Zep, but floyd did put concepts better together and a lot of people like that better.
well no shit it's a concept album. Does that mean you'd like the music LESS if it were packaged in a brown paper bag?
Wasn't In thru the Out door originally packaged like that?
or are you thinking solely of John and Yoko's "Two Virgins"?
to be honest i'm thinking of LZ IV... the album that officially went unnamed because LZ could sell a record based solely on their music rather than packaging.
Led Zeppelin's fourth album was released on 8 November 1971. There was no indication of a title or a band name on the original cover, but on the LP label four symbols were printed—. The band were motivated to undertake this decision because of their disdain for the music press, which tended to label them as hyped and overrated. In response, they released the album with no indication of who they were in order to prove that the music could sell itself.[22] The album is variously referred to as Four Symbols and The Fourth Album (both titles were used in the Atlantic Records catalogue), and also IV, Untitled, Zoso, Runes, Sticks, Man With Sticks, and Four. It is still officially untitled and most commonly referred to as Led Zeppelin IV. In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine in 2005, Plant said that it is simply called The Fourth Album.[54]
