Concept Albums

[Bryan316]

SFAM


Easily.



Very important for me to give a huge nod to Vision Divine's Stream of Consciousness. Helluva concept album.

And also to Manticora's Hyperion. PERFECT modern thrash metal album, and the story behind it is awesome.

 

[AngraRULES]

How about Angra's Holy Land? Or even Angra's Temple of Shadows?

Hell, if Bryan can talk about Manticora, I can talk about Angra!!!! lol

V!

 

[Demonspell]

From that list V. For progressive metal as a whole probably Remedy Lane. Among non-metal albums, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway hands down.

Write-in vote:
"Seventh Son"-Iron Maiden
10/10

Out of that list, no competition, Symphony X - V by far....

Their set at PPUSA IV was phenomenal! 9.75/10

Temple of shadows. I forgot that one too.

Note to self. Must give more thought before starting a poll.

Voted for V, tough choice between that and SFAM, the last DT release I liked all the way through.

As for PoS, they wouldn't even make my top 1000 list. Could I come up with a
thousand concept cds? Probably not, but even if I could, PoS wouldn't be on it.

This was tough. Ayreon's masterpiece. Fates Warning. Dream Theater. A Symphony X classic. And HEAVENLY. FUCKING HEAVENLY. As much as I love Dust to Dust, Sign of the Winner will always be my favorite from these gods. BACK TO THE POINT...

I went with Scenes From A Memory. Sentimental purposes. An amazing concept, story, album, etc. If you would've asked me 7 years ago what I thought was the greatest group of musicians I would've told you Dream Theater, putting aside my other obvious loves (extreme metal, power metal, etc). It's just a shame to think here we are 7 years removed from this monumental release and DT has done nothing but dissapoint us since then. "A mystery still today." Cheers!

How about Beyond Twilight-The Devils Hall Of Fame?

 

[steelreign]

IMO, ANY of King Diamond's concept albums walk all over those listed! "Conspiracy", "Abigail" and "Them" are absolute MASTERPIECES!!

 

[Hal9000]

The Wall is a very overrated album. Animals is much better, though not a concept, more like a theme.

 

[SavaVIDude]

STREETS - My fav album of all times. Mindcrime is also obvious. I DO Like SFAM and that got my vote.

I'm seconding (thirding?) Pain of Salvation's Remedy Lane. It's so complex and emotive - not a straightford story like something you'd read in a book, but very expressive. amazing! I gave it to friends who don't like prog or metal.

From the list, well, i haven't heard some of those so my vote may not count, but definitely Ayreon: THE!!

 

[AngraRULES]

Good call, Streets by Savatage is great!!
