Boys Night Out - Trainwreck (w/ Sean from the Killer Pod From Outer Space!!!)

The Album Concept Hour

It's time to break out your eyeliner, squeeze into some skinny jeans, and dye your hair black, because this week we are diving into an emo masterpiece. In 2005, emo music was exploding into the airwaves and the bands were getting more and more creative with the genre. Sure, it all had a similarly macabre subject matter, but the stories they told were steeped in tragedy and romance, and as an emotion filled youth, they gave us ways to process our feelings. Understandably a lot of these artists gravitated towards stories that required more than a single track to tell, and a lot of them tried a shot at concept albums. Five months before Trainwreck came out, we heard Armor for Sleep's "What to Do When You are Dead?" (a guide to the afterlife) and then even My Chemical Romance gave it a try with The Black Parade the following year. It's no wonder that I started a podcast about concept albums... Anyways, Trainwreck is one of the true greats of emo concept albums and blows much of it's contemporaries out of the water. But be warned. This is a tragedy.
