Get the Concept (Operation: Mindcrime, The Bedlam in Goliath)

Everyone loves a good story. We talk over 2 albums that not only are interesting musically, but also take the time to tell a story. In 1988 metal group Queensryche released their an ambitious record detailing the adventures of a brainwashed hit man working for a secret organization trying to overthrow the government. It’s pretty much a an action movie set to music. And we also dig into the lore surrounding The Mars Volta’s haunting 2008 release that involves a Ouija board, an evil spirit and a flood. You gotta hear it to believe it. Nerd it!
