Rift as a concept album

i’v heard this many times before nad feel like there must be some storyline, anyone have interpretations? or know webistes with them??? im at such a loss hear. there’s so many sentences in the liner notes that aren’t in any of the songs or on the albums, so what does that mean? they prob relate to this storyline? somethin about troulbes w/ a girl?? ideas??

hey cokingbird:

there is a rift promotional video on the youtube thread. in it, trey describes the concept of rift. its a series of dreams that occur in one night. thats why it ends with “silent in the morning”. Trey does a good job of explaining…

woah. that is kickass!

Yeah, like “Rift” is him thinking about his relationship, FEFY is him falling asleep, a whole bunch of dreams in the middle, “Horse” is him waking up and “Silent” is… well, about being silent in the morning.

dude thank for you mentioning this, i had never seen it before and it was great! Great moment where Mike is talking about how ten minutes go by and your mouth is completely dry, then after they all put in example, Fish just goes , “or shit coming down your leg”. haha priceless.

here’s a link for anyone who wants to check it out:

Of course it’s a concept album.

And fascinating, at that.

Although there are times when I just cannot listen to it. :problem:

youtube link in case anyone is interested, great video, lot of funny moments :slight_smile:

It came out about the same time as Blues Traveler’s “SAVE HIS SOUL”. I think everybody was doing their quintessential concept albums back in 1992. See ya all on Horde Tour :laughing:
