Well, a normal album is a grouping of songs, which generally don't directly relate to each other, whereas in a Rock Opera, the songs string together to tell a story.

They don't always string together perfectly, like in "The Wall", but they always serve as something like chapters in a continuous story.

[orianax]

Gotcha. So the fact that the songs are related makes the difference? O.o;

Eeeh, yeah.

Basically, think of an Opera. It's got different pieces to it, but they all fit together to create one story-progression that is whatever Opera it is.

A Rock-Opera is the same thing, just with modern music. wink

Ori; Mhmm :3

Kuy - Oooh! Rock opera! I want to go see the one at Berkeley Rep right now, apparently its some awesome rock opera featuring the song's from Green Day's American Idiot and I've heard excellent things about it. : D

other notes: I happened across your contest during class (hehe bad me) and so began a doodle that I continued once at home. A total of ~4 hours; it is Orianax the panda doctor, checking up on yet another of her patients in the canopy of bamboo. Yeah ... how the she and the panda got up there, we may never know.
Enjoy!

[orianax]

[orianax]

the scene is super creative too :3

[Karayna]

Hehe, it was partially accidental,
but I am happy with the end result.
I love my panda! -Hugs it-

[orianax]

haha accidental? XD

how so?

[Naturally Grown]

NOMNOM must enter

[orianax]

surprised

[Karayna]

I was drawing her upper body (initially standing)
then realised that there wasn't enough room for her
legs and realised she'd have to be sitting.
Then I drew the panda in and determined that,
from their placements, they would best fit together,
sitting on a platform or branch(which sounded stupid
so went with platform) of some kind. : D
And that is how the scene came to be!
The end. ^ w ^
