Was Sub-Lingual a concept album?

(1/2) > >>

Greg:
Was Sub-lingual a concept album? I've always wondered whether it was and whats the story behind the album and how Cable arrived at the idea for it.

I really like the art work to. Having to de-code the circets to find out the song stuctures?

It would be cool to find out what the rest of the story was with The spaceman in the video for 'Arthur Walker' and what his mission was? To build a band to bring Rock to the universe? (Who knows).

What ever happend to those big flashing letters of the Cable logo that were setup behind the band on there last few tours do they each have one? They were very spinal Tap. ;D

What dose everyone else think?

Greg.

Damon:
I remember reading in either Kerrang or Raw back in the day that Pocket Promise was about Matts house being broken into shortly after he bought it.

Benj:
Nah.

Corporate_Automaton:
Ahoy!

This idea really intrigues me.  I've never considered Sub-Lingual to be a concept album but I'm open to the idea that it might be.  Do you think it's a concept album, Greg?  If so, what do you think the concept is?

I've never really studied the art-work much.  I'll have to dig out the CDs and have a look.

Thanks,

Damon:
I found an old copy of Kerrang (being the person I am that never throws anything away) and it has a small interview with Matt and he mentions that Hexagon Eye is about a fly and how he was listening to Sheb Wooley?s Purple People Eater and simply wanted to write a song that good.

Do I think Sub-Lingual is a concept album ?. No, there is no common theme running through it that I have ever been able to see. I think it?s an amazing album and the band had really come into their own with it, its such a shame the band never got to make one more album as with Sub-Lingual the band were starting to point towards a new direction.
