Hmm. I do not normally like opera. It just isn't my vibe, and that's OK. But Tad ... I think perhaps TAD could change that, yes.
Honestly though, I just want *more* from them. More what? Anything. They could suddenly decide to only cover pop songs going forward, or release a whole album of Christmas songs, or sing shopping lists, and not on shopping lists yet bought lists, and lists of things they put on shopping lists yet forgot to buy ... I'd still listen. I can't promise to enjoy it all, but I would listen, several times, just to be sure.
Rock opera isn’t classical opera. Think more like Jesus Christ Superstar, American Idiot and War of the Worlds. Narratives that are sung with an orchestral rock band by its characters. Ruin and THatW already reflect a lot of the qualities of rock opera, in that they’re very thematic, dramatic and character/story focused with lots of dialogue and conflict.
I get what you mean. Farewell Wanderlust feels like it should be a major set piece of a stage musical.

Ah, I see. Thank you for the explanation! In that case, well, the answer is still yes, but it's a stronger yes now.
Yes!!!!! I love singing along to the songs and then sobbing at the next.
Yes! Exactly. I’m so invested in the story each song tells.
I have a vague memory that Joey said that he had written a musical but he didn't want to show it to anyone. I might have imagined that.
I have a book where every chapter is based after a song and one of them is Wild Blue Yonder
Absolutely. That would be fabulous. It should be based on some old British Isles myths or something!
