nuff said.

Technically it is not a concept album, but i guess it could still pass. And it kicks ass.

Exoplanet (The Contortionist) and Ghost Reveries by Opeth are my favourite. I don't know if ghost reveries counts though.

 

[Asrial]

DTP - ZTO (I demand coffee!)
Ayreon - the human equation
Tesseract - Concealing Fate EP

 

[snowblind56]

Dio - Magica

 

[TonyFlyingSquirrel]

Pink Floyd-The Wall
Queensryche-Operation Mindcrime
Neal Morse-Sola Scriptura.

I also have the live DVD for the latter, and the performances are top notch.

 

[Volteau]

Ayreon - Into the electric castle.

also, 7th reincarnation of this thread.

Sorry about that then. Searched a bit, didn't find it. Always fun though

Yeah, I've always had a tough time kind of defining a CA. I mean, sure, it could very well be defined as having one story told through out various songs, but can it also be said that it can have one THEME? Different stories about. say, individualism, that aren't tied one to another. Some people have defined In Absentia by Porcupine Tree as a CA due to the common themes tying in the songs. Don't know if I agree, though. But it's interesting to think about nonetheless.

Pink Floyd- The Wall
Dream Theater- Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (sort of tenuous, but the second disc counts as a concept album in itself)
Blue Oyster Cult- Imaginos

In no particular order:

Catch-33 By Meshuggah
The Way Up. By Pat Metheny

 

[Volteau]

Messed up. Never thought of Sgt. Pepper as a concept album, and I've heard it like a thousand times :S. I need to pay attention to the lyrics.

Don't worry, it wasn't a concept album in the traditional sense, so most people wouldn't really jump to thinking of it as one; it was that they wanted to write an album that would "tour for them," one that would be written and played by the fictitious characters of the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Sol Niger Within. It's one of those albums you have to listen to in order or it just sounds weird!

 

[Volteau]

Had no idea Fredrik had made a concept album. Glad I made this thread . Lots of new stuff to hear!

Plan for an hour, listen to it beginning to end with no break. It's amazing.

I'm so jealous you get to experience it for the first time.
