21. Armor For Sleep - What To Do When You Are Dead (2005)


What To Do When You Are Dead is a great concept album from Armor. There seems to be a resurgence in concept albums lately, this one stands out for me though. The basic idea is that this kid kills drives his car into a lake, because of his shitty relationship, and then haunts his former girlfriend as a ghost. He doesn’t really haunt her, just floats around her house. Sounds like the dumbest thing you ever heard right? Well it is, but the songs are great. As the album progresses you see the dead guy change his mind from being mad, to wanting to go back to life, then realizing that what he did is final. Car Underwater, Truth about Heaven, and Basement Ghost Singing are really good songs. Go check it out.
Note: There is a pretty good album called An Acoustic Tribute to Armor for Sleep’s What to do When You are Dead. If you like the Punk Goes Acoustic compilations then you’ll love it.
