11.10.16 | pretty interesting list, it is like you chose every bands other concept album like
alice cooper/ welcome to my nightmare
mothers of invention/ we're only in it for the money
johnny cash/ songs of our soil
wasp/ inside the electric circus
rush/ hemisheres
Pink floyd/ dark side

11.10.16 | welcome to my nightmare is a better album, but not a better concept album, and wasp, the electric circus is kind of hokey |
NeroCorleone80
11.10.16 | Zen Arcade shits on all of these |
DungeonBoy
11.10.16 | Opeth's Still Life, and/or MAYH, would probably make my top 10. |
Davil667
11.10.16 | Agreed, probably both. |
Kimm
11.10.16 | Yes definitely Still Life, MAYH

AmericanFlagAsh
11.10.16 | Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots tho... |
Rik VII
11.10.16 | 4 is the best on here imo. It's got the perfect balance between being coherent and having awesome stand-alone songs at the same time.
3 and 8 aren't concept albums though.
some of my favorites:
Kamelot - Epica and The Black Halo
Opeth - Still Life and MAYH [4]
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
Orphaned Land - Mabool
Pain of Salvation - Remedy Lane
Edge of Sanity - Crimson |

Nazzadan
11.10.16 | 5 is one of the worst albums I've ever heard in a really good way |
oweinerwaltini
11.10.16 | 2112 is a concept album on the first side, the second side is supposed to be the adventures of the protagonist of the first side after music was once again not outlawed |
oweinerwaltini
11.10.16 | Opeth and bowie have great concept albums as well

11.10.16 | "the second side is supposed to be the adventures of the protagonist of the first side after music was once again not outlawed"
huh?? |
oweinerwaltini
11.10.16 | It was explained to me by a guy on a rush message board that the first side of 2112 was about music being outlawed, and the protagonists plot to stop this horrible law, and after he causes music to be legalized again, the second side of the record was about the protagonists adventures post music legalizaiton |
AlexKzillion
11.10.16 | Yeah that isn't correct at all |
AlexKzillion
11.10.16 | 2112's story is literally Ayn Rand's "Anthem", except it's a guitar the protagonist finds instead of the light thing or w/e and all sci-fi |
oweinerwaltini
11.10.16 | so ive been wrong for years. Fuck |
