Best metal concept album

[Spiff]

I was afraid someone would challenge Spawny to the definition of "concept album" I remember some heated exchanges in the past regarding this very subject!

By the way, Spawny's wrong. Concept is a story, like Mindcrime, Seventh Son, Streets and Dead Winter Dead. Saying that the concept of, for example, "Chemical Wedding" is William Blake stuff is like saying any Kylie album is a concept album as well, all about love.

I was afraid of the same thing Spiffy

con·cept n.

1.A general idea derived or inferred from specific instances or occurrences.
2.Something formed in the mind; a thought or notion. See Synonyms at idea.
3.A scheme; a plan: “began searching for an agency to handle a new restaurant concept”

Please read number one.

So you should therefore include a few Rick Astley and Paula Abdul albums there, methinks? Time to rethink the poll options!

What albums did they do that were based on one specific thing?

 

[KoichCPA]

They were all based specifically on crap.

I'm sure they were all lovey-dovey stuff - certainly nothing like Stevo Harris would write, ie. not lots of songs about war or mythical beasties romping about biting peoples heads off. It'd be pretty cool hearing Kylie sing a song about the Boer War or something though!

You wish!

AWWWWWW alright who says we should at least once let Spawny revel in the glory of thinking he was right about a subject?
Maybe not

I dont need anyone elses assurance that im right about this

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Is all good Spawny, I see what you are saying, and I am leaning towards agreeing.

I know that "concept" refers to it all being about an idea, but generally in music a "concept album" refers to an album with a linear story and an album which just has the songs linked somehow usually gets called a "theme album" or something.

But I agree, "concept album" is a bit of a stupid term to refer only to albums with a story coz it indicates it being an idea.
