BOC was like sergeant peppers lonely hearts band. Rather than just abstract concepts they managed to blur an abstract into a meaningful concept per song without having it run the entire album but each one was enough production quality to run the next one into the other without it seeming too far away from the previous thing. So it had an odd phenomenon of being continuous without it being continuous and the abstract had a lot of reign.You could listen to the album itself and pick out some things here or there for a song, then take a song and throw it into a movie or something and it entirely fit the context without it being a running story. To appreciate it you sort of have to get lost in the song itself which can be more abstract from the last one and isn't a continuous thing like over recorded productions that would try to sound right rolling into one song the next but not a story that is consistent as a narrative. A lot previous things like psychedelic songs and disco and other factors were gigantic in how it was structured but it broke away from those for unique songs that weren't harmonious in theme but rather production wise in instruments and tune. So they could cover things that were radical different rather than just contiguous nonsense. In some ways they had taken a lot of popular stuff much further than it was previously, while still staying in the bounds of how it was done.

Yep. Yet all that rad discography was reduced to "cowbell hahauhuhuhu funnee moar cowbell!"

Maybe in some ways if you want to assign a specific meaning to a specific song. Veteran of the psychic wars could fit for someone arguing over differences in opinions or just radical science fiction concepts. Then you could have something like don't fear the reaper that could be the same in a way a person assumes their career is over, or something metaphysical, or just doing something bold. Even if you don't know the intent of the song conceptually you can fit it with other things and it's radical on it's own. The narrative isn't contiguous but could be construed that way. You could take each song individually and it typically has a lot of elements and structure that it's fine on it's own or fits with something else.

this. their earlier albums have god tier songs. shame they're not well known, or often talked about.

I've seen them talked about here a few times, but it still is surprising. they're probably the sole reason I truly appreciate music.

What's one song? Don't Fear the Reaper?

I liked boc's first 3 albums but every one after that was pop shit with a few catchy bass lines. except death valley nights on spectres, that's a great song
