In no particular order:

Queensyrche: Operation Mindcrime
WASP - The Crimson Idol
Fear Factory - Obsolete
Cradle of Filth - Cruelty and the Beast
Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son

and War of the Worlds is cool although non-metal.

Gorefest-False
Embraced-Within
Deprecated-Deriding His Creation

There's no "to me" or "to you" or "to him" when it comes to that CD. It is simply *not* a concept album. You can't re-define the word "concept."

1.Pain of Salvation - Remedy Lane
2.Opeth - My Arms, Your Hearse
3.Queensryche - Operation:Mindcrime
4.Pain of Salvation - One Hour By The Concrete Lake
5.Iron Maiden - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son

-A great album from my favorite band/artist. My favorite tracks are Reptile and Ruiner.

Yes, good album, but how is it a concept album? Please explain....

Any way my favorites are....

Fear Factory - Obsolete (best concept album ever!!!!! the smasher/devourer is cool....)
The two Opeth albums (although MAYH confuses the hell out of me... way too vague)
Iced Earth - Dark Saga
Isis - Oceanic (also cool, even though I have no idea whats going on... but theres definately some kind of story)

forgot about that fear factory one!!

about the Isis- i too know that there's some kind of story going on. from what i've heard people chat about, though, is that it's like a suicide playing out. i don't know though, although it does make some sense. if opnly i could find all of the lyrics.

The story of Evergrey - In Search of Truth is indeed haunting. That was my favourite album of 2001.
