So, you're a music artist. A few things we have to get out of the way before I get onto the actual thread. These few things should be included in your reply.

What is your artist name?
What genre in music are you involved in?

Okay, now for the fun part. You're releasing your debut album in just a few weeks. You've spent a year working on the 14 track LP that will define your career as an artist, and get your foot through the door. Whether you're interested in being the next big thing, or just want a better way to artistically express yourself, it doesn't matter.

What is the name of your album?
What are the 14 tracks included on your album? (Please list them)
What are the singles of the album? Please bold them on your list, and mark the lead single with [Lead Single] at the end of the track title.
What does the album artwork look like?
Any additional details about the album? A deluxe edition, list of producers or songwriters that were involved in the process of creating the album, the general sound of the album, is it a concept album? Anything?

Perception Void; industrial metal, heavy metal, post-metal. You get the idea.

First album would be self titled; but just because it's boring to say that, I'd call the second album Retrogression.

The first album's a concept, set in the near future. Technology hasn't really changed, so it's not sci-fi or anything; but society has changed. It's about a young male who was imprisoned aged 13 due to false allegations of raping and assaulting a child. The first few tracks are about his treatment in prison (conditions are much worse in this future, and as you can imagine they don't take kindly to "criminals" like him) the main bulk of the album is about when he's released on parole in his mid-20s and he has to adjust to functioning in society again. In this future, details of criminals are freely released to the public; so the problems don't stop after his release. End of the album details the battle in his head about how he should cope with the situation... then the story continues on the sophomore but I cbf to think what that should be about.

Lyrics aren't detailed, mostly vague and leave a lot to the imagination.

Just curious, why does it have to be exactly 14 tracks?

#1. Innocence Spent
#2. Singed Skin
#3. Fear of Tranquility
#4. Nothing Needed, Everything Wanted
#5. Public Displays of Affection
#6. LCD Windows
#7. Plastic Conscience
#8. Dialect Differences
#9. Liquid Health Insurance
#10. Found and Lost

idk cba to come up with 14. I'll probably look back at this tomorrow and hate it.
No singles for this.

If I ever were to make an album, I would have to make it with a friend. I wouldn't want someone who isn't a friend interefering with it. I'd allow contributions as long as they're on the same page as what I'm aiming for anyway, but I'd like to be the lead songwriter really. I'd have to have a part in production too.

album artwork, some crap like this, just picked it off my tumblr

My name would be Seiphre, assuming I'm alone? I don't think I have enough folk to make a band. It would definitely be indie, with rock and pop influences.

Anything Within Reason

1. This Might Be the First Song On the Album
2. Hopefully
3. Put Your Name Here
4. Parler
5. edulretnI
6. Mr. Tambourine Man (cover)
7. People of France
8. Avec Tout Mon Coeur
9. For You

14 is too much for now. Maybe I'll come back. For You is a bonus track. Yeah, REALLY little album. I'm indie, so who cares? Also means no single, but if I pulled an FtP and did have a single, the first would be Parler. Parler as in "to speak" not me misspelling "parlor" k?

Album cover would be a street sign with "Anything Within rsn" as if "rsn" is short for a street title, like how there's blvd and dr for boulevard and drive, respectively. I love street signs and feel like it'd be appropriate.

This Might Be The First Song On the Album is just a random, bouncy song. idk how to describe it. It doesn't have much meaning though. It's just kinda there. Hopefully is about how I get hopeful too easily. Put Your Name Here is about some person I know. Parler is about wanting to speak to someone, and not knowing what to say. edulretnI is a short saxophone solo. I shouldn't have to explain Mr. Tambourine Man. People of France is a small conversation in French with music to it, just to be silly. Avec Tout Mon Coeur is about some person I know. For You is a very personal song about some person I know.

As weird as this is probably going to sound, I've always thought about doing a concept album based off season 4 of The Sopranos. It'd be me playing the role of Tony Soprano, and a load of guest stars to sing/play instruments as other characters (Carmela, Melfi, Paulie etc.). Each song would have an episode title, and most would have a 'featuring _____' credit, apart from some instrumentals where it's just me by myself. It probably sounds weird, but it's been a slight passion-project of mine for a while now. And now for the formalities:

What is your artist name?
I dunno... probably just my real name, but maybe with the appendage '... and Friends'
What genre in music are you involved in? All sorts of genres, but if forced to narrow it down... probably some form of jazz/blues
What is the name of your album? The Sopranos Season 4
What are the 14 tracks included on your album? There'd only be 13, as that's how many episodes there are, and the titles would be the titles of the episodes, so:

1. For All Debts Public and Private
2. No Show
3. Christopher
4. The Weight
5. Pie-O-My
6. Everybody Hurts
7. Watching Too Much Television
8. Mergers and Acquisitions
9. Whoever Did This
10. The Strong, Silent Type
11. Calling All Cars
12. Eloise
13. Whitecaps (ft. Bjork)

(Most of them will have 'featuring' credits, but the last one is my favourite episode of the show, and I can just imagine it being a type of song that Bjork would be great at... hence her inclusion in this imaginary record!)

What are the singles of the album? No singles. I'm going all Led Zepellin-in-the-USA with my marketing approach.
What does the album artwork look like?



Only instead of the actual actors, it'd be the musicians who contributed to their songs in their characters (so, Bjork as Carmela, in this example).

Well, since I am a musical artist, and my band is working on a debut album, I'll just do this here little poll.

Artist Name: Gerasene
Genre: Death Metal, Black Metal, and the likes.

Album name: Of Eternity and the Angel

1. Branches of Time
2. Cold Steel Savior
3. Of Eternity
4. Hand of Man, Act of God
5. Infinality - Lead Single
6. A Blackened Sun
7. Of the Angel
-------------------- (Because all of our songs are 10+ minutes long, this is where our actual album ends. For the sake of this thread, though, I will add our next potential album as far as I've designed it.)
8. Unpromised End
9. Sunset Morning
10. To Wish Away the Mourning Suns
11. Cell
12. O Sweet Tormentor
13. This Me

We have a few potential album covers for OEatA. Sadly, though, I have none of them on my computer.
