Pink Floyd - The Wall
Whitechapel - The Somatic Defilement
Queensryche - Operation Mind Crime

That really shows how varied my taste in music is

 

[bouVIP]

I'm pretty sure this is a concept album...

if not oh well still an epic album

 

[NaYoN]

+1 to anything Coheed and Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime.

 

[Thrashmanzac]

ziltoid the omnisient - devin townsend
oh we do like to be beside the seaside - the vasco era

 

[Don Vito]

Don't really have a favorite, but I used to love Winds of Plague's "The Great Stone War".

Musically, it was really alright melodic deathcore, but I think they captured the whole war vibe pretty well, especially the last song.

Devin Townsend - Ziltoid the Omniscient

Buck-Tick - Juusan-kai wa Gekkou

 

[AliceLG]

In no particular order:

Pink Floyd - The Wall
Spock's Beard - Snow
Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Bradway
Pain of Salvation - The Perfect Element
Dream Theater - Scenes from a Memory
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick
Ayreon - absolutely everything
Opeth - Ghost Reveries ... to the purists out there, think of Isolation Years as a bonus track
Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime

This could turn into a very long list, I'll stop before it's 9 hours later and I can figure out why I'm so hungry and tired

Exoplanet and Colors

 

[Hankey]

Everything by Coheed & Cambria

Protest The Hero - Kezia

Fear Factory - Obsolete

 

[Metal_Webb]

The last 4 Amorphis albums, "Eclipse", "Silent Waters", "Skyforger" and "The Beginning of Times". Each tells a different story from the Kalevala and each is brilliant in their own right. "Eclipse" is one of my all time favourite albums ever!



I echo the sentiments about Ziltiod...one of Devvy's best IMO.

Eluveitie's "Helvetios" also kicks a ton of buttock as well. It tells the story of the Gaulish war

 

[DLG]

marillion - misplaced childhood
genesis - the lamb lies down on broadway
pink floyd - the dark side of the moon
frank zappa - joe's garage
jellyfish - spilt milk
kevin gilbert - the shaming of the true
queensryche - operation mindcrime
iron maiden - seventh son of the seventh son
david bowie - the rise and fall of ziggy stardust and the spiders from mars
the flaming lips - yoshi battles the pink robots
the mountain goats - tallahassee

 

[AborteD]

Every single album of Emmure.

 

[Fillifax]

I really wish Coheed would drop their story and start a new one. I mean, it's a perfect time to stop it since I believe YoBR was supposed to wrap up it all up, but now Claudio is talking about continuing it from a different view or something else going on at the same time as the main story and all I can think is: WHY?! You're a creative guy, start something new.

Well, he kinda already did. Have you read the books/comics? YoBR was the first part of the story, a prequel to Second Stage Turbine Blade.
Actually, he has his other band, The Prize Fighter Inferno, which follows Inferno. I definately think he should stay in the same universe. I'd like to know something about what happened before YoBR and perhaps he could go more in depth about the Mage Wars?

 

[UnderTheSign]

 

[Don Vito]

Every single album of Emmure.

Ah Yes!

The grand epic of contracting AIDS.

 

[Hauschild]

Dream Theater - Scenes from a Memory.
Sounds like there are some albums i need to give a spin, though!

 

[Repner]

Symphony X - V: The New Mythology Suite
Ayreon - All of them
Pain Of Salvation - BE

I really like the Idea of concepts and I mostly write in cocepts too.
My favs:

BTBAM: "Colors" and "The Great Misdirect" (well the second one is not a real concept, but the songs are still linked)
Vildjharta: "Masstaden"
The Contortionist: "Exoplanet"
